GsMTx4

GsMTx4 is a spider venom peptide that selectively inhibits cation-permeable mechanosensitive channels (MSCs) belonging to the Piezo and TRP channel families. GsMTx4 is an important pharmacological tool for identifying the role of these excitatory MSCs in normal physiology and pathology. GsMTx4 significantly attenuates bladder hyperactivity.

Grammastola spatulata mechanotoxin #4 (GsMTx4) is a 35 amino acid peptide that inhibits the gating of cation selective MSCs with similar affinity in either the l or d enantiomic forms, emphasizing its lack of stereospecificity when interacting with MSCs. Cationic MSCs may belong to the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) and/or Piezo families known to be expressed in cardiomyocytes and vascular tissue. In vitro measures of MSC activity in cardiac tissue, single cells and patch assays, show GsMTx4 activity in the range of 0.1–5 μM. GsMTx4 is a gating modifier that inhibits MSCs by clamping the membrane tension of the outer monolayer where its penetration depth, and thus its surface area contribution, is tension dependent.

GsMTx4-D is a cardioprotectant against myocardial infarction during ischemia and reperfusion

  • Carbetocin

    Carbetocin is a long-acting synthetic agonist analogue of human oxytocin, with antihemorrhagic and uterotonic activities. Upon administration, carbetocin targets, binds to and activates peripheral oxytocin receptors that are present on the smooth musculature of the uterus. This causes uterus contractions and prevents excessive bleeding after childbirth, particularly following Cesarean section, and may be used to decrease blood loss during hysteroscopic myomectomy.

  • 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%.

  • 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.

  • Fertirelin Acetate

    Fertirelin 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.

  • Aviptadil Acetate

    Aviptadil, also known as vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), is a 28 amino acid neuropeptide that belongs to the glucagon-growth hormone-releasing factor secretion superfamily. Aviptadil acts as a potent systemic vasodilator and bronchodilator. It inhibits the proliferation of vascular and bronchial smooth muscle cells and decreases platelet aggregation. These biological effects are mediated by specific VIP receptors.

  • 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.
