N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (C007B-378388)

N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide is a potent, reversible, specific, and non-toxic tripeptide inhibitor of myeloperoxidase (MPO). N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide effectively inhibits MPO generation of toxic oxidants in vivo. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide reduces neuronal damage and preserves brain tissue and neurological function in the stroked brain. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide inhibits MPO-dependent hypochlorous acid (HOCl) generation, protein nitration, and LDL oxidation.In VivoN-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (KYC) significantly decreases infarct size, blood-brain barrier leakage, infiltration of myeloid cells, loss of neurons, and apoptosis in the brains of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice . N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 3-7 days) significantly reduces neurological severity scores and infarct size in MCAO mice . N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily 7 days) significantly protects BBB function and decreased neutrophil infiltration. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily 7 days) significantly reduces microglia/macrophage activation and neuron loss in MCAO mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 3-7 days) decreases apoptosis and cell injury in the brains of MCAO mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide reduced MPO in the brains of MCAO mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide reduces NO2Tyr and 4-HNE in MCAO mice . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
