Bioactivity | Rusfertide is a peptide mimetic of natural hepcidin, which targets and degrades ferroportin, reduces serum iron and transferrin-saturation, and thus regulates the production of red blood cells. Rusfertide ameliorates the polycythemia vera, β-thalassemia and hereditary hemochromatosis[1][2]. |
In Vivo | Rusfertide 限制红细胞 (RBCs) 中的铁毒性 (1 mg/kg,皮下注射,每两天一次,共 49 天) 和转铁蛋白饱和度 (2.5 mg/kg,皮下注射,每两天一次,共 2 周),提高红细胞的携氧能力,改善 β-地中海贫血和遗传性血色素沉着症小鼠模型中的贫血和铁沉积[1]。 MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Animal Model: |
