Patent ID: 7737113

Claim:
A compound having the formula: or a retro form, an all D form, or a retro all D form thereof, said compound optionally being cyclic through a covalent bond between N* and C*; wherein: X is H, Ac, TFa, DBF, ASAL optionally iodinated, or HP; l and n are 1; p and q are independently 0 or 1; R c is the side chain of Gly; R d is the side chain of Ala; R f is the acid side chain of Gly; R g is the side chain of L-Hyp, D-Hyp, Pro, D-Pro, Ncg, A2C, Gly, Asn, T4c, or Pc, if the compound is a cyclic compound, or R g is the side chain of D-Hyp, Pro, D-Pro, Ncg, A2C, Gly, Asn, T4c, or Pc, if the compound is a linear peptide, wherein said side chain of L-Hyp, D-Hyp, Pro, D-Pro, or Thio-Pro is cyclized by attachment to the N atom bonded to the C atom to which R g is attached; R h is the side chain of Pro, D-Pro, or Ala, wherein said side chain of Pro or D-Pro is cyclized by attachment to the N atom bonded to the C atom to which R h is attached; R i is the side chain of Tyr or D-Tyr, wherein the aromatic ring of said side chain is optionally substituted with one or more halogen groups; R j is the side chain of Gln or Asn; R 7 is OH or NH 2 , or is absent if the compound is cyclized between N* and C*, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
