Physalin H is an Hh signaling inhibitor blocks GLI1-DNA-complex formation, it also strong quinone reductase induction activity with IR (Induction ratio, QR induction activity) value of 3.74±0.02. Physalin H shows immunosuppressive effects on T cells both
Peptide T (TFA) is an octapeptide derived from the V2 region of HIV-1 gp120. It serves as a ligand for the CD4 receptor, effectively inhibiting the binding of HIV to the CD4 receptor.
Defensin HNP-3 is a peptide secreted by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) that has antimicrobial properties. It induces lysis of mammalian cells when used at a concentration of 25 μg mL. It also inhibits growth of E. faecalis (ED50 = 100 nM) and clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa (MIC90 = 4 μM). HNP-3 binds to recombinant HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (gp120) and human CD4 (Kds = 52.8 and 34.9 nM, respectively). It also binds to recombinant, immobilized human surfactant protein D (SP-D; Kd = 55.7 nM) and inhibits focus formation in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells infected with influenza A virus (IAV).
Peptide T is an octapeptide from the V2 region of HIV-1 gp120. This synthetic octapeptide potentially functions through competitive inhibition of gp120 binding to the CD4 receptor, as well as interaction with vasointestinal peptide (VIP) receptors.
