Larazotide acetate is a synthetic peptide. It functions as a tight junction regulator and reverses leaky junctions to their normally closed state.

Rotigaptide TFA(355151-12-1 free base) is a novel and specific modulator of Cx43 and is a potent AAP. Rotigaptide TFA(355151-12-1 free base) prevents the uncoupling of Cx43-mediated gap junction communication and normalizes cell-to-cell communication during acute metabolic stress.

Danegaptide Hydrochloride (GAP-134 (Hydrochloride)) (GAP-134 Hydrochloride) is a selective modifier of the gap junction protein.

Gap 26 is a mimetic peptide corresponding to the residues 63-75 of connexin 43, which is a gap junction blocker.

Carbenoxolone (Biogastrone) is an inhibitor of 11β-HSD and gap junction connexin channels. Carbenoxolone inhibits macrophage migration into atria and prevents the development of fatty liver disease.

Peptide5 TFA, a connexin 43 mimetic peptide, mitigates swelling, astrogliosis, and neuronal cell death in animal models of spinal cord injury, and suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome, functioning as an anti-inflammatory agent (1) (2) (3).

Gap 27 is a peptide(Ser-Arg-Pro-Thr-Glu-Lys-Thr-Ile-Phe-Ile-Ile) derived from connexin 43 that is a selective gap junction blocker.

Gap19 is a peptide that corresponds to a sequence on the cytoplasmic loop (CL) of Cx43.

2-hydroxy Flutamide is competitive inhibition of androgen receptor (AR) for the treatment of prostate cancer

Meclofenamate sodium is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, which can specifically inhibit chemokine-induced human polymorphonuclear leukocyte function: chemotaxis, degranulation, and superoxide anion free radical production.

AT-1002 is a tight junction regulator and absorption enhancer. It is a 6-mer synthetic peptide.

Larazotide is an octapeptide paracellular permeability inhibitor whose structure is derived from a protein (zonula occludens toxin) secreted by Vibrio cholerae for treatment of Coeliac disease.

Rotigaptide is a novel and specific modulator of Cx43 and is a potent AAP. Rotigaptide prevents the uncoupling of Cx43-mediated gap junction communication and normalizes cell-to-cell communication during acute metabolic stress.

Tonabersat (SB-220453) is a novel and orally available gap-junction modulator and CSD (Cortical spreading depression) inhibitor that regulates cellular communication between trigeminal ganglion neuronal cells and glial cells and inhibits neurogenic inflammation for the treatment of migraine and epilepsy.

Danegaptide (GAP-134), has been identified as a potent and selective second generation gap junction modifier with oral bioavailability.a small modified dipeptide.

Cx43 HC-IN-1 (Compound D4) is a selective, orally active inhibitor of connexin hemichannels (Cx43 HC). It effectively suppresses hemichannel activity mediated by Cx43/Cx45 in denervated skeletal muscle fibers, significantly enhancing neuronal reinnervation of muscle fibers. By inhibiting hemichannels in brain glial cells, Cx43 HC-IN-1 reduces neuroinflammation and neuronal hyperexcitability, alleviating seizures in mice. It is applicable for research on epilepsy and muscular disorders.

Connexin43 mimetic peptide. Reduces swelling, astrogliosis, neuroinflammation and neuronal cell death following spinal cord injury ex vivo and in vivo.
