General description

Cyclo(His-Pro) is a cyclic dipeptide consisting of the amino acids histidine (His) and proline (Pro). This small peptide forms a closed loop, with histidine and proline connected through a peptide bond. It can be found naturally in certain proteins and peptides and can also be synthesized chemically. This unique molecule is related to thyrotropin-releasing hormone and has various roles in the central nervous system. It serves as a substrate for organic cation transporters, making it essential for neuroprotection. Cyclo(His-Pro) holds promise for therapeutic applications, with the potential to counteract neuroinflammation-based degenerative conditions through both oral and parenteral administration routes. It can inhibit NF-κB nuclear accumulation and influence a range of inflammatory and stress responses, making it a valuable asset in the study of cell biology, biochemical research, and neuroprotection research.

Application

Cyclo(L-His-L-Pro) is a versatile molecule and it finds application in biochemical and metabolomics research.
