Patent ID: 10213483

Abstract:
Disclosed is A method of treatment of a disorder or condition where it is desirable to inhibit the growth of cells, or a method of treatment which involves cytostatic therapy by administering an oligopeptidic compound to a subject in need thereof. The oligopeptidic compound is capable of interacting with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) The compound comprises a PCNA interacting motif which is: which is: [K/R]-[F/Y/W]-[L/I/V/A/M]-[L/I/V/A/M]-[K/R] (SEQ ID NO. 28).The oligopeptidic compound has 9-70 subunits and at least one signal sequence. The signal sequence is a nuclear localization signal sequence and/or a cell penetrating signal sequence. In the compound a PCNA interacting motif is N-terminal to a signal sequence.
