Patent ID: 7531516

Claim:
A peptide compound with affinity to human P-selectin of the sequence XA X A 3 A 1 A 2 A 1 Z, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salt thereof, wherein: each A 1 is independently a D- or L-cysteine (C), D- or L-methionine (M), or D- or L-valine (V); A 2 is a D- or L-aspartic acid (D); A 3 is a D- or L-phenylalanine (F) or D- or L-tryptophan (W); A X is a D- or L- glutamic acid (E), D- or L-aspartic acid (D), D- or L-cysteine (C) or D- or L-glycine (G); X marks the N-terminal side of said sequence and is a hydrogen or contains 1 to 6 D- or L-amino acid residues; and Z marks the C-terminal side of said sequence and is a hydroxyl or contains 1 to 11 D- or L-amino acid residues terminated by a hydroxyl, wherein X and Z together can form a cyclic system, provided that when the compound is cyclized by a Cys-Cys disulfide bond, each participating Cys residue is a member of X and Z respectively.
