Summary: | The present invention relates to synthetic oligopeptides that exhibit inhibitory activity towards cancer invasion and metastasis. The peptides of the invention comprise PRKPKWDK (SEQ ID:2) peptide corresponding to amino acids of 85 to 92 of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2), and fragments, analogs and homologs. The invention also relates to the uses of such peptides as inhibitory of human cancer invasion and metastasis and further to their therapeutic use in preventing and treating other pathological conditions related to the degradation of extracellular matrix by MMPs. |
