Bioactivity | Cyclo(his-pro) (Cyclo(histidyl-proline)) is an orally active cyclic dipeptide structurally related to tyreotropin-releasing hormone[1]. Cyclo(his-pro) could inhibit NF-κB nuclear accumulation. Cyclo(his-pro) can cross the brain-blood-barrier and affect diverse inflammatory and stress responses[2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | cyclo(his-pro) (Cyclo(histidyl-proline); 50 μM; 1-48 hours) increases the nuclear level of Nrf2 and inhibits NF-κB nuclear translocation. Cyclo(His-Pro) alone has no effect on nuclear translocation of these transcription factors[2]. cyclo(his-pro) (50 μM; prior to PQ exposure for 48 hours) abolishes protein nitration that followed paraquat (PQ) exposure and lessenes its functional consequences, as shown by decrease in cell apoptosis, detected by caspase 3 activity and by cytochrome c release[2]. Cyclo(his-pro) inhibits NF-κB nuclear accumulation induced by paraquat in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells via the Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 pathway[2]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
