Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Sincalide, also known as CCK-8, is a drug used to treat cholecystitis. Sincalide is an octapeptide hormone present in the intestine and brain. When secreted from the gastric mucosa, it stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder and digestive enzymes from the pancreas.

Product Data
Biological target:
Sincalide can promote gallbladder contraction by injection and helps diagnose gallbladder and pancreas disorders. Sincalide can increase bile secretion, cause the gallbladder to contract and relax the sphincter of Oddi, resulting in bile drainage into the duodenum. Sincalide is a major bioactive segment of CCK that retains most of the biological activities of CCK.
In vitro activity:
Sincalide protects H9c2 cardiomyoblasts from Ang II-induced apoptosis partly via activation of the CCK1 receptor and the phosphatidyqinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway. Pretreatment of sincalide attenuated Ang II-induced cell toxicity and apoptosis, induced expression of p-Akt, p-bad, and Bcl-2, and decreased the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3. Reference: J Cell Biochem. 2020 Jul;121(7):3560-3569. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31886572/
In vivo activity:
Sincalide alleviated fibrosis in the noninfarcted regions and delayed the left ventricular remodeling and the progress of heart failure in a myocardial infarction rat model. Sincalide improved left ventricular function and attenuated myocardial fibrosis. Sincalide downregulated cardiac fibrosis genes in the left ventricle.
