The invention describes peptides with anticancer activity and exhibiting antagonistic activity against CD133
protein, which were obtained and designed by means of
computer tools, evaluating physicochemical parameters of flexibility, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity,
antigenicity and total charge as described herein, in addition to the modeling of the
protein, which allowed selecting 4 regions with the appropriate characteristics. After modeling the selected peptides, CD133
peptide-
protein molecular docking was performed, where stable interactions were observed, even showing
hydrogen bonds. Finally, the peptides of the invention showed anticancer effects against several
cancer cell lines, including
cancer cells resistant to conventional treatments such as
triple negative breast cancer cells.
