1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Helospectin I functions as a potent agonist at VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, activating Gαs-coupled signaling that stimulates adenylate cyclase and elevates intracellular cAMP levels. This cascade activates protein kinase A, leading to phosphorylation of target proteins that induce smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation, and modulation of neurotransmitter release. The peptide's disulfide-bonded tertiary structure is essential for high-affinity receptor binding and selective activation of VIP-mediated pathways.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This peptide is indicated for research applications in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal physiology, neuroendocrinology, and VIP receptor pharmacology. It is utilized in in vitroassays including receptor binding studies, cAMP accumulation measurements, and smooth muscle relaxation experiments to characterize VPAC receptor activation. In in vivomodels, Helospectin I is administered to study its effects on blood pressure regulation, intestinal motility, and neuroendocrine responses, contributing to understanding VIP-mediated physiological processes.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Helospectin I has no established clinical efficacy or regulatory approval for human use. Preclinical studies demonstrate potent vasodilatory and smooth muscle relaxant effects in animal models, but these findings remain exploratory without controlled clinical trials. The peptide lacks comprehensive pharmacokinetic, toxicological, and long-term safety data required for therapeutic development, maintaining its status strictly as a research reagent for investigative purposes.
