The present invention relates to compositions which inhibit the binding of nerve growth factor to the p75NTR common neurotrophin receptor and methods of use thereof. In one embodiment, the compound which inhibits binding of nerve growth factor to p75NTR comprises, particularly when bound to nerve growth factor, at least two of the following: (1) a first electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys34 of nerve growth factor; (2) a second electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys95 of nerve growth factor; (3) a third electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys88 of nerve growth factor; (4) a fourth electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys32 of nerve growth factor; and (5) a hydrophobic moiety which interacts with the hydrophobic region formed by Ile31, Phe101 and Phe86 of nerve growth factor.
