STAT6 Activator

Gamma-glutamylcysteine (γ-Glu-Cys) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable dipeptide. Gamma-glutamylcysteine activates AMPK, SIRT1, IL-4/STAT6, AC/cAMP/PI3K, IGF-1R/IRS1/PI3K, and Nrf2 signaling pathways; it inhibits NF-κB, JAK1/STAT1/3, MAPKs, cadmium-induced p38 MAPK, JNK, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Gamma-glutamylcysteine regulates macrophage polarization, modulates the trafficking of CD36 and GLUT4, induces glutathione synthesis, improves metabolic dysfunction, reduces lipid deposition, ameliorates glucose homeostasis, inhibits apoptosis (Apoptosis), stabilizes mitochondria, suppresses lipid peroxidation, iron accumulation and ferroptosis (Ferroptosis), reduces ds-HMGB1 levels, reverses mechanical hyperalgesia, and alleviates hepatic lipid droplet formation. Gamma-glutamylcysteine is applicable to research related to inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, cadmium-induced neurotoxicity, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, neuropathy, and alcoholic liver disease.

Phoenixin-20 (PNX-20) is a neuropeptide that activates GPR173. Phoenixin-20 inhibits LPS-induced TLR-4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling, pro-inflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, MMPs, and cytotoxicity. Phoenixin-20 increases SIRT1 and inhibits NLRP3/ASC/caspase-1, oxidative stress, and IL-1β/IL-18. Phoenixin-20 alleviates ox-LDL-induced endothelial dysfunction, monocyte adhesion, adhesion molecules, cytokines, NADPH oxidase/NOX-4, and ROS. Phoenixin-20 promotes GPR173/STAT6-mediated anti-inflammatory polarization of microglia and neuroprotection. Phoenixin-20 can be used in research on dental pulp infection, pulmonary arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, neuroinflammation, anxiety, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Phoenixin-20 TFA (PNX-20 TFA) is a neuropeptide that activates GPR173. Phoenixin-20 TFA inhibits LPS-induced TLR-4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling, pro-inflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, MMPs, and cytotoxicity. Phoenixin-20 TFA increases SIRT1 and inhibits NLRP3/ASC/caspase-1, oxidative stress, and IL-1β/IL-18. Phoenixin-20 TFA alleviates ox-LDL-induced endothelial dysfunction, monocyte adhesion, adhesion molecules, cytokines, NADPH oxidase/NOX-4, and ROS. Phoenixin-20 TFA promotes GPR173/STAT6-mediated anti-inflammatory polarization of microglia and neuroprotection. Phoenixin-20 TFA can be used in research on dental pulp infection, pulmonary arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, neuroinflammation, anxiety, and neurodegenerative diseases.
