| Bioactivity | Oglufanide (H-Glu-Trp-OH) is a dipeptide immunomodulator isolated from calf thymus. Oglufanide inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Oglufanide can stimulate the immune response to hepatitic C virus (HCV) and intracellular bacterial infections. Oglufanide shows antitumor and anti-angiogenesis activities[1][2][3]. | ||||||
| Invitro | Oglufanide (IM862) (1-1000 μg/mL) exhibits dose dependent inhibition of angiogenesis in the chorioallantoic membrane assay with complete inhibition of β-FGF and VEGF-induced angiogenesis[3].Oglufanide (L-glu-L-trp) (0-1000 μg/mL; 5 days) has no effect on the viability of either the tumor cell lines or HUVECs[4]. | ||||||
