H-Gly-Pro-Gly-NH2 HCl

Uses

H-Gly-Pro-Gly-NH2 is a tripeptide that inhibits HIV-1 replication. H-Gly-Pro-Gly-NH2 inhibits the activity of HIV-1 IIIB and HIV-2 ROD with EC50 values of 35 μM and 30 μM, respectively. H-Gly Pro Gly NH2 inhibits HIV-1 replication in vitro by interfering with capsid formation. H-Gly Pro Gly NH2 has antiviral activity and can be used for virus research[1][2][3].

IC 50

HIV (IIIB): 35 μM (EC₅₀); HIV-2 (ROD): 30 μM (EC₅₀)
