Abstract

Peptides having the formula: T-Gly-Val-D-Ile-Thr-Arg-Ile-U, V-Gly-D-Val-Ile-D-Thr-D-Arg-D-Ile-W, X-D-Arg-D-Ile-D-Arg-D-Thr-lle-D-Val-Y, and Z-Gly-Val-Ile-Thr-Arg-Ile-U wherein T is absent or is selected from N-protecting group and a polypeptide of up to 12 amino acid residues optionally terminated with a N-protecting group; U is selected from Arg and Arg-NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from hydrogen and alkyl of one to four carbon atoms; V is absent or a N-protecting group; W is selected from D-Arg and D-Arg-NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 ; X is absent or a N-protecting group; Y is selected from Gly and Gly-NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 ; and Z is 1-12 amino acid residues optionally terminated with a N-protecting group wherein at least one of the amino acid residues is a D-amino acid residue inhibit angiogenesis and are useful in the treatment of disease states such as cancer, arthritis, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathyin which angiogenesis plays a role.
