A hexapeptide, Ac-RRWWCR-NH(2) (Antileukinate), has been reported to be a potent inhibitor of CXC-chemokine receptor. However, the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of this agent has not been tested except in a rabbit skin edema model. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of
BACKGROUND
A topical healing system containing a combination of active ingredients including a tripeptide and hexapeptide (TriHex Technology™) has been found to stimulate neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis.
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the use of the tripeptide/hexapeptide topical system following
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the possible beneficial effects of AcF on acute lung injury (ALI) in a rat model of sepsis.
METHODS
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following four experimental groups (n = 10 per group): animals undergoing a sham cecal
The protein-protein interaction between the human CMG2 receptor and the Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) is essential for the transport of anthrax lethal and edema toxins into human cells. We used a genetically encoded high throughput screening platform to screen a SICLOPPS library of 3.2
The advance of functional genomics revealed the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Hundreds of GPCRs have been cloned but many of them are orphan GPCRs with unidentified ligands. The first identified orphan GPCR is the opioid receptor like orphan receptor, ORL1. It was cloned in
Over 1 million cases of scorpion stings are estimated every year, whereas current treatment is limited to antivenom serum combined with supportive therapy. Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom (TsV) is composed of diverse molecules, including toxins that induce a catecholamine storm and mediate
The clinical use of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) in the treatment of stroke is profoundly constrained by its serious side effects. We report that the deleterious effects of tPA on cerebral edema and intracranial bleeding are separable from its fibrinolytic activity and can be neutralized.
A new series of smaller peptides with tryptophan at C-terminal and varying N-protected amino acids/peptides were designed, synthesized and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of these peptides were carried out in vivo using tail-flick
IL-8 is a member of the chemokine alpha subfamily that activates and is chemotactic for neutrophils. In these studies, we have synthesized and characterized a hexapeptide inhibitor of IL-8. This peptide, with an acetylated amino terminus and an amidated carboxyl terminus (Ac-RRWWCR-NH2), inhibited
