| Description: | N-acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (KYC) is a potent, tripeptide inhibitor of myeloperoxidase (MPO), inhibits MPO-mediated hypochlorous acid (HOCl) formation (IC50=7 uM) and nitration/oxidation of LDL; completely inhibits HOCl production at 25 uM, decreases vascular oxidative stress and increases vasodilatation in sickle cell disease mice; reduces oxidative stress-mediated inflammation, neuronal damage, and neural stem cell injury in murine model of stroke. |
| In Vivo: | N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (KYC) significantly decreases infarct size, blood-brain barrier leakage, infiltration of myeloid cells, loss of neurons, and apoptosis in the brains of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 3-7 days) significantly reduces neurological severity scores and infarct size in MCAO mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily 7 days) significantly protects BBB function and decreased neutrophil infiltration. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily 7 days) significantly reduces microglia/macrophage activation and neuron loss in MCAO mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 3-7 days) decreases apoptosis and cell injury in the brains of MCAO mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide reduced MPO in the brains of MCAO mice. N-Acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine amide reduces NO2Tyr and 4-HNE in MCAO mice. |
