| Bioactivity | tcY-NH2 ((trans-Cinnamoyl)-YPGKF-NH2) TFA is a potent selective PAR4 antagonist peptide. tcY-NH2 TFA inhibits thrombin- and AY-NH2-induced platelet aggregation and endostatin release, and can be used in the research of inflammation, immunology[1][2][6]. | ||||||
| Invitro | tcY-NH2 TFA (0-500 μM) inhibits AYPGKF-NH2 (10 μM)-induced platelet (obtained from male albino Sprague–Dawley rats) aggregation, with an IC50 value of 95 μM[1].tcY-NH2 TFA potently activates aorta relaxation (RA) and gastric (LM) contraction, with IC50 values of 64 μM (RA) and 1 μM (LM)[1].tcY-NH2 TFA (Tc-YPGKF-NH2, 400 μM, 5 min) prevents endostatin release and platelet aggregation induced by thrombin or by AY-NH2[2].tcY-NH2 TFA (5 μM, 15 min) decreases infarct size (IS) by 51%, and increases recovery of ventricular function by 26% in an isolated heart model[5]. | ||||||
