Abstract Therapeutic peptides are promising candidates for the development of drugs useful for the treatment of diseases that affect our society. In this paper, we have compiled the peptides that are components of medicines commercially available in Spain which are dispensed in pharmacies or which are used in hospital centers. The authorization year, structural features (number of amino acids, linear or cyclic sequence, presence of disulfide bonds), therapeutic use and route of administration of these peptides have been analyzed.Keywords: Peptides, drugs, drug discovery, route of administration, therapeutic use.
