The present invention relates to peptides which exhibit antifusogenic and antiviral activities. The peptides of the invention consist of a 16 to 39 amino acid region of a human respiratory syncytial virus protein. These regions were identified through computer algorithms capable of recognizing the ALLMOTI5, 107x178x4, or PLZIP amino acid motifs. These motifs are associated with the antifusogenic and antiviral activities of the claimed peptides.

A invenção atual relaciona-se aos peptides que exibem atividades antifusogenic e antiviral. Os peptides da invenção consistem na região de um amino-ácido 16 a 39 de uma proteína syncytial respiratory humana do vírus. Estas regiões foram identificadas com os algoritmos do computador capazes de reconhecer motifs o ALLMOTI5, o 107x178x4, ou do amino-ácido de PLZIP. Estes motifs são associados com as atividades antifusogenic e antiviral dos peptides reivindicados.
