Pegevongitide
0 ImagesSynonyms: AV-001Pegevongitide (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.
