C-Reactive Protein (CRP) 77-82 is the 77-82 fragment of the annular (ring-shaped) C-Reactive Protein, the prototypic marker of inflammation, which serves as a cardiovascular risk marker and may promote atherogenesis.
CRP, an acute phase serum protein synthesized in response to inflammatory cytokines, produces antitumor effects in animals. The fragment CRP (174-185) (RS-83277) shows similar activity by significantly enhancing the tumoricidal activity of human monocytes
GPVI antagonist 3 (Compound 2) is a potential antagonist that shows promising antiplatelet activity by selectively inhibiting the interaction between the Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) receptor and its ligands. It demonstrates potent inhibitory effects, with IC50 values of 1.01 μM for collagen, 1.92 μM for CRP, 7.24 μM for convulxin, and 51.74 μM for thrombin. GPVI is a major collagen receptor on platelets, making it an ideal target for safe and effective antithrombotic treatment. Therefore, GPVI antagonist 3 holds potential as a novel antiplatelet agent [1].
