General description

Thymopentin (TP5) is a pentapeptide produced by the epithelial cells of the thymic cortex and medulla. It consists of thymosin α1 (Tα1).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thymopentin (TP5) is an immunomodulator, resembling the active site of the thymopoietin. TP5 stimulates cellular immune responses such as T-cell formation, natural killer (NK) cell and macrophage activation, generation of cytokines, and activation of B-cell for antibody production. It also mimics the polypeptide environment of the thymus. TP5 is used to treat conditions like immune deficiency, autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancers. It has a short half-life and is rapidly metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract.

Thymopoietin is a polypeptide hormone of the thymus consisting of 49 amino acids. The pentapeptide thymopentin (TP-5) Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr, corresponding to amino acids 32-36 of thymopoietin, appears to represent the active site of thymopoietin in that it has all the biological

Copolymers were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of l- or d-lactide in the presence of dihydroxyl PEG with molar mass of 6000, 12,000 and 20,000, using zinc lactate as catalyst. Bioresorbable hydrogels were obtained by mixing PLLA-PEG-PLLA and PDLA-PEG-PDLA aqueous

Splenopentin (SP-5, Arg-Lys-Glu-Val-Tyr) and thymopentin (TP-5, Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr) are synthetic immunomodulating peptides corresponding to the region 32-34 of a splenic product called splenin (SP) and the thymic hormone thymopoietin (TP), respectively. TP was originally isolated as a 5-kDa (49-amino acids) protein
