Abstract
The present invention relates to a peptide capable of binding to ICE and/or to enzymes of the ICE family, which peptide consists essentially of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 reported in the Sequence Listing, in which Xaa is selected between Asp and Ala, optionally containing one or more amino acids at its N-terminal and/or C-terminal end. It also relates to the use of the above peptide, for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions active in pathologies requiring ICE inhibition and/or inhibition of enzymes of the ICE family.
