S 17092, >=98% (HPLC)

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

S 17092 may be used in prolyl endopeptidase-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-17092 is a potent, selective inhibitor of Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), also known as prolyl endopeptidase (PEP or PE). Ki=1.5 nM. Nootropic. S-17092 inhibition of POP prevents breakdown and thus increases the activity of a number of neuropeptides, which is likely the basis for its nootropic activity. S 17092 has been shown to improve cognition. It improved cognitive task performance in chronic low dose MPTP-treated monkeys. S-17092 was recently used to inhibit the formation of AcSDKP from its precursor 43-mer thymosin ?4 (T?4). Ac-SDKP is involved in hemopoietic stem cell differentiation, is pro-angiogenic and antifibrogenic.
