neuropeptide

Fosaprepitant dimeglumine (MK-0517) is the dimeglumine salt form of fosaprepitant, a water-soluble, N-phosphorylated prodrug of aprepitant with antiemetic activity. Upon intravenous administration and rapid conversion to aprepitant, this agent selectively binds to human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), inhibiting receptor binding of endogenous substance P and preventing substance P-induced emesis.

Neuropeptide SF(mouse,rat) acetate (Neuropeptide SF(mouse,rat) acetate (230960-31-3 free base)) increases the amplitude of the sustained current of heterologously expressed acid sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3).

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) (3-36) is a C-terminal fragment of NPY, a neuropeptide involved in controlling appetite, blood pressure, cardiac contractility, and intestinal secretion. NPY (3-36) is an endogenous peptide produced by cleavage of NPY by dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4). It binds selectively to the NPY receptor Y2 (Ki = 0.41 nM in CHP 234 cells) over the Y1 receptor, where it does not bind at concentrations up to 1 μM. NPY (3-36) (0.1 nM) increases migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by 80% after 12 hours in an in vitro wound closure assay. NPY (3-36) corresponds to residues 3-36 of the human and rat protein sequence.

Neuropeptide Y (3-36) (human, rat) is a metabolite of neuropeptide Y (NPY) generated by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) and is known as a selective Y2 receptor agonist, effectively reducing the release of norepinephrine via the Y2 receptor [1][2].

[D-Arg25]-Neuropeptide Y (human) ([D-Arg25] NPY), a Y1 receptor selective agonist, is involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and protects rat cortical neurons from β-Amyloid toxicity [1].

Neuropeptide Y (porcine), a peptide found in the porcine brain, effectively inhibits secretin-stimulated pancreatic secretion [1].

Neuropeptide Y, porcine TFA, a peptide found in the pig's brain, effectively inhibits secretin-stimulated pancreatic secretion [1].

Neuropeptide SF (mouse, rat) TFA, a potent agonist for neuropeptide FF receptors, exhibits K_i values of 48.4 nM for NPFF1 and 12.1 nM for NPFF2. Additionally, this compound enhances the amplitude of the sustained current in heterologously expressed acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) [1].

[D-Trp34]-Neuropeptide Y TFA is a potent and selective agonist for the neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y5 receptor, demonstrating significantly lower potency at the NPY Y1, Y2, Y4, and Y6 receptors. It significantly increases food intake in rats [1] [2].

[Leu31,Pro34]-Neuropeptide Y(human,rat) TFA acts as a specific agonist for the neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor and also activates Y4 and Y5 receptors, elevating blood pressure in anesthetized rats and enhancing food intake [1] [2].

Neuropeptide S(Mouse) TFA, an endogenous agonist for the neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR) with an EC50 value of 3 nM, plays a significant role in physiological processes by inducing the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. This compound elevates locomotor activity and wakefulness, and simultaneously decreases anxiety-like behavior in mice.

Neuropeptide S(Rat) TFA, a robust endogenous agonist for the neuropeptide S receptor (NSPR) with an EC50 of 3.2 nM, enhances locomotor activity and promotes wakefulness while concurrently diminishing anxiety-like behavior in mice.

Neuropeptide Y (3-36) (porcine) acts as an agonist for the Y2 subtype of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor, effectively stimulating feeding behavior in rats. This compound exhibits high selectivity for the Y2 receptor compared to the non-selective Y1 Y2 receptor ligand, Neuropeptide Y 1-36 [1][2][3].

Neuropeptide Y (2-36) (porcine) is a pig-sourced peptide closely resembling its rat and human counterparts with 97.14% homology. It acts as an agonist for rat neuropeptide receptors Y5, Y2, and Y1, with EC50 values of 1.2, 1.6, and 3.4 nM, respectively.
