 Use of helospectin II


Helospectin II is a neuropeptide of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) family. Helospectin II has vasodilatory and antihypertensive activities, and decreases blood pressure. Helospectin II is originally isolated from the salivary gland venom of the lizard Heloderma suspectum[1][2].

 helospectin II Biological Activity

Description Helospectin II is a neuropeptide of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) family. Helospectin II has vasodilatory and antihypertensive activities, and decreases blood pressure. Helospectin II is originally isolated from the salivary gland venom of the lizard Heloderma suspectum[1][2].

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptor[1]

In Vitro Helospectin II (suffusion at 0.1 nM, in bicarbonate buffer for 30 min) evokes significant, sustained and similar vasodilation in the intact hamster cheek pouch[1]. Helospectin II relaxes the Phenylephrine-contracted rat femoral arteries with pEC50 of 6.93[2].
In Vivo Helospectin II (0.03-2 nmol/kg, 100 μL of infusion at the left jugular vein) reduces blood pressure in rats[2]. Animal Model: SD rats[2] Dosage: 0.03, 0.3, 1, 2 nmol/kg Administration: 100 μL of infusion at the left jugular vein, followed by washing the catheter with 100 μL saline. Result: Reduced the blood pressure, but was less effective than vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the low dose range.
