Abstract
The object of the present invention is the identification of a group of peptides able to break the interaction between the mutated protein p53 (hereinafter m-p53) and the proteins p63, p73 and the relative isoform proteins (hereinafter p63, p73 and p-isoforms) in the m-p53/p63, m-p53/p73 and m-p53/p-isoforms proteinic complex that has formed in the nucleus of tumor cells. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for causing the breakage of said proteinic complexes existing in the tumor cell lines in vitro. The present invention further relates to the use of said peptides for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treating human tumors.
