Tat-Gap 19, a peptide inhibitor of connexin43 (Cx43) hemichannels, is derived from the HIV-1 Tat protein transduction domain fused with a nine-amino acid sequence from Cx43 residues 128-136. This compound, at a concentration of 10 µM, effectively suppresses glutamate-induced ATP release in primary rat hepatocytes, indicating inhibition of Cx43 hemichannel activity. Furthermore, Tat-Gap 19 demonstrates therapeutic potential by significantly reducing infarct volume in a mouse cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) at a dosage of 25 mg/kg. Moreover, its intraperitoneal administration at 1 mg/kg per day ameliorates fibrosis and decreases the area of hepatic stellate cells, the precursors to myofibroblasts, expressing α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), in a model of thioacetamide-induced liver damage. Additionally, it enhances superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in hepatic cells from the treated mice, indicating its antioxidative benefits.

It effectively binds to recombinant α-synuclein, demonstrating a significant reduction in α-synuclein levels in primary rat cortical neuron cultures.

Tat-NTS peptide, a cell-penetrating compound, comprises the HIV-1 Tat protein transduction domain fused with a 10-amino acid sequence (residues 228-237) from the repeat III domain of annexin A1, serving as a nuclear translocation signal (NTS). This peptide hinders the interaction between annexin A1 and importin β, obstructing annexin A1's nuclear entry in primary mouse hippocampal neurons. Tat-NTS effectively prevents apoptosis triggered by glucose-oxygen deprivation and reperfusion in these neurons. When administered in vivo at a dosage of 10 mg/kg, it significantly reduces infarct size, minimizes neuronal apoptosis, and improves navigation performance in the Morris water maze test for mice subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury via middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).

Tat-AKAP79 (326-336) is a peptide that links the HIV-1 Tat protein transduction domain with an 11-amino acid sequence from A-kinase anchor protein 79 (AKAP79). This compound effectively inhibits the activation-induced sensitization by protein kinase A (PKA) or PKC of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) at a concentration of 200 µM in isolated rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Additionally, it mitigates nocifensive behavior in mice elicited by formalin or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA014), enhances latency for paw withdrawal from radiant heat, and raises the mechanical threshold force required for paw withdrawal in a carrageenan-induced mouse model of inflammatory pain.

Tat-CIRP, a peptide inhibitor, impedes the protein-protein interaction between myeloid differentiation 2 (MD-2), also known as lymphocyte antigen 96 (LY96), and cold-inducible RNA binding protein (CIRP) by binding to MD-2.
