proapoptotic

Pasireotide (SOM230) acetate is a long-acting cyclohexapeptide growth hormone inhibitory hormone analog with antisecretory, antiproliferative, and proapoptotic activities.Pasireotide (SOM230) acetate inhibits the secretion of GH, IGF-I, and ACTH, and can be used in the study of acromegaly and Cushing's disease. Pasireotide (SOM230) acetate also enhances the agonist activity of growth inhibitory receptors, with pKi of 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, <7.0 and 9.9 for sst1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively.

RGD-Targeted Proapoptotic Peptide is a peptide that preferentially binds to integrins at sites of tumor angiogenesis through its C-terminal RGD-4C sequence (ACDCRGDCFC).

The compound, tumor-targeted pro-apoptotic peptide (CNGRC-GG-D(KLAKLAK)2), functions as an anti-tumor agent by disrupting mitochondrial membranes to induce apoptosis, demonstrating anticancer efficacy in mice [1].

Adipotide as a prototype in a new class of candidate drugs that may be useful for treating obesity in humans

HAP-1, a synovial-targeted transduction peptide, selectively mediates the internalization of protein complexes into synovial cells of human and rabbit origin. When fused with the antimicrobial peptide (KLAK)2, HAP-1 forms the proapoptotic peptide DP2 [1].
