Hel 13-5
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Hel 13-5 is a monomeric, lipophilic, basic amphipathic α-helical synthetic peptide composed of 18 amino acid residues. Hel 13-5 is designed as a substitute for proteins in artificial pulmonary surfactants, and it mimics the interaction between the N-terminal fragment of human pulmonary surfactant protein B and lipids. Hel 13-5 can bind to phospholipids for the development of pulmonary surfactant model systems. Hel 13-5 can be used in studies related to respiratory distress syndrome.

Biological Activity
Hel 13-5 (10 μM) forms an α-helical structure in aqueous buffer and retains α-helical structural characteristics in the presence of neutral, acidic, and soy lecithin liposomes at 10 μM concentration[1].
Hel 13-5 (20 μM) exhibits near-complete hemolytic activity at an approximate concentration of 20 μM, with activity increasing in a concentration-dependent manner; this activity profile is shared with its derivative Hel 13-5D3[1].
Hel 13-5 (0.01-0.025 molar fraction) alters the phase domain morphology of DPPG and DPPC/DPPG (4:1) Langmuir monolayers, reducing LC domain size in both systems, with more pronounced dispersion in DPPG/Hel 13-5 due to specific electrostatic interactions[2].
Hel 13-5 (0.01-0.1 molar fraction) induces distinct phase behavior in DPPG Langmuir monolayers (forming two independent LC domain populations at X_Hel 13-5 = 0.01-0.05) due to specific electrostatic interactions, while only reducing LC domain size in DPPC/DPPG (4:1) monolayers due to dominant DPPC-DPPG miscibility[2].
Hel 13-5 (0.1 molar fraction) forms larger, stabilized squeezed-out aggregates in DPPG LB films (retaining structure down to 35 mN m−1 during expansion) due to specific electrostatic interactions, while forming smaller, rapidly respreading aggregates in DPPC/DPPG (4:1) and DPPC films[2].

The Hel 13-5 (0.1 mL (20 mg/mL); respiratory tract)-containing Murosurf SLP mixture suppresses egg white albumin-induced pulmonary resistance elevation and reduces allergic inflammatory cell infiltration in Brown Norway rat asthma models[1].
Pulmonary surfactant preparations containing Hel 13-5 provide improvement to lung function and activity in surfactant-deficient rat[2].
