Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH is an endogenous degradation product of extracellular collagen and acts as a CXCR2 agonist. Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH exerts bactericidal activity by generating hydrogen peroxide, inhibits pulmonary inflammation, and reduces immune cell apoptosis (apoptosis). Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH promotes the production of IFN-γ and inhibits the production of TNF-α and IL-6 in leukocytes. Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH increases the survival rate of mice in sepsis models, enhances the bactericidal activity of neutrophils, acts as a neutrophil chemoattractant, induces neutrophil polarization, and regulates inflammatory and repair processes. Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH induces chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling through sustained action. Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH is released via alkaline hydrolysis of corneal proteins in alkali-injured eyes, thereby driving the early infiltration of neutrophils into the cornea. Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH is applicable to research related to sepsis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, severe asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and corneal ulcer.

Biological Activity

CXCR2 |
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH (0-50 μM; 10 min) induces concentration-dependent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production in isolated mouse neutrophils via CXCR2[1].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH (0-50 μM; 1 h) enhances the concentration-dependent bactericidal activity of isolated murine neutrophils[1].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH (1-20 μM; 30 min pre-incubation, 24 h LPS stimulation) modulates cytokine production in LPS-stimulated mouse splenocytes, inhibits the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 in a concentration-dependent manner, while enhancing the type 1 cytokine IFN-γ, with the most potent effect observed at 20 μM[1].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH (0.1-50 μM; 1 h) enhances the concentration-dependent bactericidal activity of isolated human neutrophils, reaching a maximum killing rate (approximately 95%) at 20 μM and 50 μM[1].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH (0-20 μM; 30 min pre-incubation, 3 h LPS stimulation) regulates cytokine production in LPS (HY-D1056)-stimulated human neutrophils and PBMCs. It inhibits the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and enhances the type 1 cytokine IFN-γ in a concentration-dependent manner, with the strongest effect observed at 20 μM[1].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH activates neutrophils, mediates superoxide anion production, MMP-9 release and CXCL8 release by binding to CXCR1/2, and induces G protein-dependent neutrophil chemotaxis[2].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH promotes CXCR2-dependent paracellular permeability in endothelial cells and the release of endothelin-1 in aortic endothelial cells[2].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH induces CXCR2-dependent migration, proliferation and tube formation of endothelial progenitor cells[2].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH resists degradation mediated by LTA4H, but is susceptible to degradation by ACE[2].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH induces polarization in isolated human neutrophils with an EC50 of 0.50 mM[3].

Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH drives neutrophil recruitment and corneal ulcer formation in an alkali-injured rabbit corneal model[2].
Ac-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH induces dose-dependent airway neutrophilic inflammation in mice via the CXCR2 signaling pathway, triggers emphysema in *Mus musculus*, abrogates bleomycin hydrochloride (HY-17565A)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice, and promotes cutaneous neovascularization and wound healing in mice[2].

Result:Increased survival in a dose-dependent manner.
Further improved survival when 17.5 mg/kg was given as 5 doses vs fewer doses.
Showed therapeutic effect on survival with delayed 17.5 mg/kg (4 doses starting 10 hours post-CLP).
Reduced CLP-induced acute lung injury score, thrombi and hyaline membrane score, and lung wet-to-dry weight ratio.
Inhibited CLP-induced liver inflammation, splenic and thymic tissue damage, and reduced TUNEL-positive cells in spleen and thymus by ~50-60% compared with vehicle controls.
Reduced intraperitoneal bacterial colony counts by 82.1% at 24 hours after CLP.
Blunted CLP-induced increases in peritoneal fluid TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels, while enhancing production of type 1 cytokines IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-2 in peritoneal fluid.
Reduced the incidence of fatal sepsis compared with vehicle controls.
