Biological Activity

[Description]:

Aclerastide (DSC-127) is an angiotensin receptor agonist. Aclerastide also is a peptide analog of angiotensin II. Aclerastide can be used for the research of tissue regeneration in diabetic ulcers[1][2].

[In Vivo]

Aclerastide (0.1 mg/wound; day for 5 days) shows superior efficacy in the db/db mouse model of wound healing[1]. Aclerastide (topically administered; 100 μL; once a day; for 14 days) elevates levels of reactive oxygen species and of active MMP-9[2]. Animal Model: db/db mice[2] Dosage: 100 μL Administration: Topically administered, once a day, for 14 days Result: Upregulated reactive oxygen species during inflammation. Increased the levels of the detrimental active MMP-9 in diabetic wounds.
