Zusammenfassung:The present research is directed to the identification of non-peptidic inhibitors of cathepsin G characterised by high levels of selectivity and which can be efficaciously used in the treatment and prophylaxis of inflammatory occurrences and procoagulant conditions. The cathepsin G-inhibiting aptamers according to the invention consist of linear DNA or polynucleotide sequences having a chain length of at least 60 nucleotides and being substantially not subjected to undergo efficient base pairing.
