Cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Val)

Uses

Cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Val) (Cyclo(RGDfV)) is an integrin αvβ3 inhibitor. Cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Val) has antitumor activity. Cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Val) can be used for the research of acute myeloid leukemia[1].

General Description

Potent inhibitor of cell adhesion. Inhibits tumor cell adhesion to laminin and vitronectin substrates. In vivo investigations in rats showed it to be useful in the amelioration of ischemic acute renal failure in rats. Also inhibits tubular obstruction by preventing cell-cell adhesion. Inhibits the redistribution of c-Src into focal adhesions, thereby leading to impaired MAP Kinase activation.
