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.

Human immature thymocytes express significant levels of the CD10 (endopeptidase 24.11) cell surface antigen. We report here that IOB5, an anti-CD10 mAb, as well as the phorbol ester PMA down-regulate CD10 activity at the surface of human thymocytes. The kinetics of CD10 modulation were drastically different for both effectors, indicating different regulatory mechanisms. We also demonstrated that intact human thymocytes hydrolyze thymopentin and that CD10 significantly participates in this process. Finally, we found that thymopentin and to a lesser extent phosphoramidon, a specific endopeptidase 24.11 inhibitor, induced up-regulation of CD4 and CD8 molecules at the thymocyte cell surface. In view of these results, we suggest that down-regulation of endopeptidase 24.11 at the thymocyte cell surface might reduce its activity toward thymic factors possibly involved in the regulation of thymocyte functions.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
