PEPTIDE DERIVATIVES

Peptides of the formula I A-B-C-E-F-K-(D)-Phe-G-M-F'-I (1> in which A is hydrogen, alkyl, alkanoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylsulphonyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aryloyl, arylsulphonyl, heteroaryl or an amino acid, each of which can optionally be substituted, B is a basic amino acid, C is a di- or tripeptide, E is the residue of an aromatic amino acid, F is, independently of one another, an amino acid which is optionally substituted in the side chain or is a direct bond, G is an amino acid, F' is defined as F or can be -NH-(CH2)2-8 or optionally a direct bond, I is -OH, -NH2 or -NHC2H5, and K is a radical -NH-(CH2)1-4-CO- or is a direct bond, act as bradykinin antagonists. Their therapeutic uses comprise all pathological states promoted, induced or assisted by bradykinin and bradykinin-related peptides. The peptides of the formula I are prepared by known methods of peptide synthesis.
