Abstract
Retro-inverso peptides derived from interleukin-6 (IL-6) having between 17 and about 40 amino acids and including the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. These peptides have the same activity as native IL-6 and also have neurotrophic activity. Because of the D-amino acid linkage in the peptides, they are less susceptible to proteolytic degradation in vivo.
