Abstract
Disclosed herein are peptides of the formula EQU Y--R.sup.1 --R.sup.2 --R.sup.3 --R.sup.4 --R.sup.5 --R.sup.6 --Z wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 are designated amino acid residues; R.sup.6 is Phe, homoPhe or an amino acid residue derived from 2-amino-3-cyclohexylpropionic acid, 2-amino-3-(4-(lower alkoxy)phenyl) propionic acid or 2-amino-3-(4-halophenyl)propionic acid; Y is Phe, desamino-Phe, (lower alkanoyl)-Phe, p-haloPhe, Tyr, desamino-Tyr or (lower alkanoyl)-Tyr, or Y is the decapeptide radical W--Val--R.sup.7 --Ser--R.sup.8 --R.sup.9 --Thr--Glu--R.sup.10 --Ser--Phe wherein W is hydrogen or lower alkanoyl and R.sup.7 to R.sup.10 are designated amino acids residues, or Y is a fragment of the decapeptide radical wherein from one to nine of the amino acid residues (i.e. Val to Ser) may be deleted serially from the amino terminus of the decapeptide radical; and Z is hydroxy, amino, lower alkylamino or di(lower alkyl)amino. The peptides inhibit mammalian ribonucleotide reductase and are indicated for preventing or ameliorating abnormal cell proliferation.
