Copper(II) complexes have anti-inflammatory properties which can alleviate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and thus control the progression of the disease. In this study two tripeptides, namely sarcosyl-L-leucyl-phenylalanine (Sar-Leu-Phe) and glycyl-L-leucyl-phenylalanine (Gly-Leu-Phe) we...
