Peptides in the Treatment of Gastric Ulcer.

A promising area in the search for effective and safe methods of pharmacotherapy for gastric ulcers is the study of bioactive substances of natural origin and derivatives synthesized on the basis of these substances. The review presents modern information on various peptide-based substances that are pharmacologically active against gastric ulcer, including analogues of natural neuropeptides, synthetic substances with a specific amino acid sequence, as well as drugs derived from biological peptide complexes. Based on the results of the analysis, we have assessed the prospects of this pharmacological approach and outlined the areas for further research.
