Aquaporin Activator

AqF026 is an aquaporin 1 (AQP1) agonist. AqF026 enhances the channel activity of human AQP1 in the Xenopus laevis oocyte system. AqF026 enhances the osmotic transport of water across the peritoneum in a mouse model of peritoneal dialysis. AqF026 can be used in studies related to ultrafiltration failure in peritoneal dialysis.

Pegevongitide (AV-001) is a Tie2 agonist. Pegevongitide resists the increased endothelial cell permeability induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Pegevongitide activates the angiogenin (angiogenin)/Tie2 signaling pathway. Pegevongitide reduces perivascular space dilation and upregulates perivascular Aquaporin-4 expression. Pegevongitide decreases the expression of TNF-α, PAI-1, CXCL9 and P-selectin, improves white matter integrity, enhances cognitive function and exerts neuroprotective effects. Pegevongitide improves white matter integrity in middle-aged rats with vascular dementia induced by multiple microinfarctions. Pegevongitide can be used in related research on diseases such as COVID-19 and vascular dementia.
