PLANT-DERIVED ELASTIN BINDING PROTEIN LIGANDS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

Title:

PLANT-DERIVED ELASTIN BINDING PROTEIN LIGANDS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/113681

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

The present invention describes novel plant derived elastin-like peptides and peptidomimetics that may serve as functional ligands for elastin receptors and stimulate elastogenesis. The novel plant derived peptides provide an alternative (non-animal derived) source of GXXPG (SEQ ID NO. 2) containing peptides. The present invention also describes therapeutic compositions containing novel plant derived peptides or peptidomimetics useful in stimulating elastogenensis and capillary dilatation. The therapeutic compositions of the present invention that comprise novel plant derived peptides or peptidomimetics may be combined with other therapeutic agents.
