Peptides of the formula I A-B-C-E-F-K-(D)-Tic-G-M-F'-I (I>； in which A is hydrogen, alkyl, alkanoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylsulphonyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylsulphonyl, heteroaryl or an amino acid, each of which can optionally be substituted, B is a basic amino acid, C is a di- or tripeptide, E is the residue of an aromatic amino acid, F is, independently of one another, an amino acid which is optionally substituted in the side chain or is a direct bond, G is an amino acid, F' is defined as F, can be -NH-(CH2)2-8 or optionally a direct bond, I is -OH, -NH2 or -NHC2H5 and K is a radical -NH(CH2)-1-4-CO- or is a direct bond, have bradykinin-antagonistic action. Their therapeutic uses comprise all pathological states which are promoted, induced or sustained by bradykinin and bradykinin- related peptides. The peptides of the formula I are prepared by known methods of peptide synthesis.
