In this study, a novel neurotoxin named Huwentoxin-XVI (HWTX-XVI) specific for N-type calcium channels was purified and characterized from the venom of Chinese tarantula Ornithoctonus huwena. HWTX-XVI is composed of 39 amino acid residues including six cysteines that constitute three disulfide bridges. HWTX-XVI could almost completely block the twitch response of rat vas deferens to low-frequency electrical stimulation.

  • Sincalide Ammonium Salt

    Sincalide corresponds to the C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK) and acts on receptors within the gallbladder wall causing it to contract.

  • Goserelin Acetate

    Goserelin acetate stimulates the production of the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen in a non-pulsatile (non-physiological) manner. This causes the disruption of the endogenous hormonal feedback systems, resulting in the down-regulation of testosterone and estrogen production.

    Inquiry
  • Lanreotide Acetate

    Lanreotide is a a synthetic cyclic octapeptide analogue of somatostatin. Lanreotide inhibits the secretion of growth hormone (GH) by binding to pituitary somatostatin receptors, and may inhibit the release of various other hormones, including thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and the gastroenteropancreatic hormones insulin, glucagon and gastrin.

    Inquiry
  • Cetrorelix Acetate

    Cetrorelix Acetate is a potent gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist (IC50 = 1.21 nM). It can suppress production of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland which inhibits ovulation, exhibit antiproliferative effects and display efficacy against hormone-sensitive cancers in vivo. It is often used to treat hormone-sensitive cancers of the prostate and breast.

  • 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
  • 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
  • Gonadorelin Acetate

    Gonadorelin is a trophic peptide hormone responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. GnRH is synthesized and released from GnRH neurons within the hypothalamus. The peptide belongs to gonadotropin-releasing hormone family. It constitutes the initial step in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis.

    Inquiry
  • Nafarelin Acetate

    Nafarelin acetate is a potent LHRH agonist. After a transient increase, continuous administration results in downregulation of LH and FSH levels followed by a suppression of ovarian and testicular steroid biosynthesis.

    Inquiry
  • Exenatide Acetate

    A 39-amino acid peptide originally isolated from the salivary glands of the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum), differs from exendin-3 only in two positions close to the N-terminus. Application of exenatide causes an increase in acinar cAMP without stimulating amylase release. As an incretin mimetic, exenatide acts as agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor.

  • 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.
