| Bioactivity | PMX-53 (3D53) is a synthetic peptidic and a potent and orally active complement C5a receptor (CD88) antagonist with an IC50 of 20 nM. PMX-53 is also a low-affinity MrgX2 agonist that stimulates MrgX2-mediated mast cell degranulation. PMX-53 specifically binds to C5aR1 and does not bind to the second C5aR (C5L2) and C3aR. PMX-53 has anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antiatherosclerotic effects[1][2][3][4][5][6]. | ||||||
| Invitro | PMX-53 is a potent CD88 antagonist and inhibits C5a-induced neutrophil myeloperoxidase release and chemotaxis with IC50 values of 22 nM and 75 nM, respectively[1].PMX-53 (10 nM) inhibits C5a-induced Ca2+ mobilization in HMC-1 cells, but at higher concentrations( ≥30 nM) it causes degranulation in LAD2 mast cells, CD34+ cell-derived mast cells, and RBL-2H3 cells stably expressing MrgX2. Replacement of Trp with Ala and Arg with dArg abolishes the ability of PMX-53 to inhibit C5a-induced Ca2+ mobilization in HMC-1 cells and to cause degranulation in RBL-2H3 cells expressing MrgX2[1]. | ||||||
