SMILES: --
DrugBank Description: TP508 is a non-proteolytic synthetic peptide representing the portion of human thrombin originally identified as the fibroblast high-affinity receptor binding domain.
CAS Number: --
Molecular Weight:
DrugBank Indication: Investigated for use/treatment in bone fractures, diabetic foot ulcers, and wounds.
DrugBank Pharmacology: --
DrugBank MoA: TP508 is a 23-amino-acid peptide representing the receptor-binding domain of thrombin, and is thought to work by mimicking the ability of thrombin to activate platelets and a cascade of growth factors and enzymes that initiate and regulate the healing process. Although not tested with allografts, TP508/Chrysalin has been shown to improve fracture healing in experimental models and its application is associated with upregulation of angiogenic genes.
Targets: Fibroblast growth factor 4
Inclusion Criteria: Indication associated
