Product Data
Biological target:
Kyotorphin is an endogenous neuroactive dipeptide with analgesic properties.
In vitro activity:
Kyotorphin abolished the stimulatory effect of norepinephrine on proliferation of cultured cells in vitro. Reference: Bull Exp Biol Med. 2006 Feb;141(2):223-5. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16984102/
In vivo activity:
This study aimed to study the effects of the intracerebroventricular injection of effective antinociceptive doses of KTP (kyotorphin) on the motivational behavior, memory, and blood and hippocampal levels of the carbonylated proteins in healthy male adult Wistar rats. The present data showed that all single doses of KTP exerted an antinociceptive effect, but this effect was not observed after chronic administration.
