Huwentoxin IV

A potent blocker of Neuronal TTX-Sensitive Voltage-Gated Na+ Channel that preferentially inhibits neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel subtype hNav1.7 (SCN9A) (IC50 = 26 nM), rNav1.2 (SCN2A) (IC50 = 150 nM), and rNav1.3 (SCN3A) (IC50 = 338 nM), compared with muscle subtypes rNav1.4 (SCN4A) and hNav1.5 (SCN5A) (IC50 > 10 µM). Huwentoxin IV inhibits the activation of sodium channels by trapping the voltage sensor of domain II of the site 4 in the inward, closed configuration.

Huwentoxin-IV (HWTX-IV), similarly to JZTX-34, inhibited neuronal TTX-sensitive voltage-gated sodium channels with an IC50 value of 30 nM in adult rat dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRG neurons), but have no significant effect on TTX-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels. Recently studies demonstrated that ProTx-II and HWTX-IV binding determinants on domain-II may overlap, with domain II playing a much more crucial role for HWTX-IV. The date also proved that the inhibition of sodium currents could be reversible by strong depolarization due to the dissociation of HWTX-IV.

  • GLP-1 (7-36) amide Acetate

    Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin derived from the transcription product of the proglucagon gene. The major source of GLP-1 in the body is the intestinal L cell that secretes GLP-1 as a gut hormone. Its physiological functions include promoting insulin sensitivity, decreasing food intake by increasing satiety in brain and increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner.

  • Thymopentin Acetate

    Thymopentin, also known as TP-5, is a synthetic derivative of thymopoietin, a thymic hormone, and has immunoregulatory properties. Thymopentin interacts with T cells, reduces endocrine and behavioral responses to experimental stress. It is also found to increase the number of cells undergoing apoptosis in irradiated cells and selectively bind to apoptotic cells.

    Inquiry
  • Atosiban

    Atosiban is a nonapeptide, desamino-oxytocin analogue, and a competitive vasopressin/oxytocin receptor antagonist (VOTra). Atosiban is indicated to delay imminent pre-term birth in pregnant adult women. Atosiban is useful in improving the pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF). The pregnancy rate improved from zero to 43.7%.

  • Antide

    Antide acetate (Ac-AA10-NH2) is an LHRH antagonist and represses LH and FSH release from the pituitary gland. It shows a high antiovulatory activity and releases negligible histamine.

    Inquiry
  • Angiotensin II Acetate

    Angiotensin II is an octapeptide that produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II is mediated by AT1 and AT2 receptors, which are seven transmembrane glycoproteins with 30% sequence similarity.

    Inquiry
  • Argipressin

    Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals. Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.

    Inquiry
  • Enfuvirtide

    Enfuvirtide is a 36 amino acid peptide corresponding to a region of gp41, the transmembrane subunit of HIV-1 envelope protein. It belongs to the therapeutic class of fusion inhibitors and acts by binding to gp41 and impeding the conformational changes in gp41 necessary for fusion of the virus with the cell.

    Inquiry
  • Pramlintide

    Pramlintide is an analogue of amylin, a small peptide hormone that is released into the bloodstream by the β-cells of the pancreas along with insulin, after a meal. Like insulin, amylin is completely absent in individuals with Type I diabetes.

    Inquiry
  • Carperitide

    Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) (1-28), human, porcine is a 28-amino acid hormone, that is normally produced and secreted by the human heart in response to cardiac injury and mechanical stretch. ANP (1-28) inhibits endothelin-1 secretion in a dose-dependent way.

  • Alarelin acetate

    Alarelin acetate is a synthetic LH-RH agonist, and stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland. It is known for its induction of ovulation and used to treat endmometriosis.
