H-Trp-Tyr-OH
Based on 1 Customer Validation
H-Trp-Tyr-OH is an orally active tryptophan-tyrosine dipeptide with blood-brain barrier permeability. H-Trp-Tyr-OH exerts physiological regulatory effects by stimulating enteroendocrine cells to secrete glucagon-like peptide GLP-1. In mouse models of tauopathies, H-Trp-Tyr-OH inhibits tau phosphorylation, reduces the level of neurofibrillary tangles, increases dopamine turnover, upregulates synapsin expression, and elevates cecal short-chain fatty acid levels, thereby improving behavioral deficits and extending lifespan. H-Trp-Tyr-OH can be used in research related to impaired glucose tolerance and tauopathies.

H-Trp-Tyr-OH (1-5 mg/mL; 60 min) potently stimulates GLP-1 secretion from GLUTag cells, with the highest activity observed at 5 mg/mL (the induced GLP-1 level is approximately 6-fold higher than that of the blank control), and exhibits no cytotoxicity against GLUTag cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Line:murine enteroendocrine GLUTag cells
-
Concentration:1 mg/mL; 2 mg/mL; 5 mg/mL; 1.85 mg/mL
-
Incubation Time:60 min
-
Result:Induced a GLP-1 secretion level ~6-fold relative to blank control at 5 mg/mL.
Induced a GLP-1 level ~1-fold relative to blank control at 1 mg/mL.
Induced a GLP-1 level ~2-fold relative to blank control at 2 mg/mL.
Induced a GLP-1 level ~1.2-fold relative to blank control at 1.85 mg/mL.
Remained at baseline LDH release levels, showing no cytotoxicity.

Animal Model:B6;C3-Tg mice (Prnp-MAPT*P301S)PS19Vle/J (PS19 transgenic; male and female, 2.5 months old, tauopathy model); wild-type littermates (male and female, 2.5 months old)[3]
-
Dosage:0.05% w/w
-
Administration:p.o.; continuous dietary intake; 6.5 months (male); until 53 weeks of age (female)
-
Result:Reduced total distance traveled in the open field test at 5 and 7 months of age, normalizing locomotor hyperactivity.
Increased the number of NeuN-positive cells in the entorhinal cortex and elevated cortical synaptophysin levels in male mice.
Increased dopamine turnover (DOPAC/dopamine ratio and (DOPAC + HVA)/dopamine ratio) in the frontal cortex of male mice.
Reduced hippocampal pTau levels (113.1 vs control 162.2) and cortical pTau/tTau ratio (0.02 vs control 0.04) in male mice; reduced pTau-positive region in the spinal cord.
Achieved a 67% survival ratio at 53 weeks of age in female mice, significantly higher than control's 38%.
Increased cecal acetic acid and total short-chain fatty acid levels in male mice.
