Rotigaptide is a novel and specific modulator of Cx43 and is a potent AAP. Rotigaptide prevents the uncoupling of Cx43-mediated gapjunction communication and normalizes cell-to-cell communication during acute metabolic stress.
Danegaptide (GAP-134), has been identified as a potent and selective second generation gapjunction modifier with oral bioavailability.a small modified dipeptide.
PQ1, as an enhancer of gapjunction in SW480 human colorectal cancer cells can act by restoring GJIC and increasing connexin expression in breast cancer cell lines while not affecting normal mammary cells.
PQ1 Succinate, a gapjunction enhancer, acts by restoring GJIC and increasing connexin expression in breast cancer cell lines while not affecting normal mammary cells.
