TB-500
C₂₁₂H₃₅₀N₅₆O₇₈S
Key Research Findings
- Promotes migration of endothelial cells and keratinocytes, key steps in wound closure and vascularisation.
- Shown to reduce cardiac fibrosis and improve function in post-infarction animal models.
- Demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- Synergistic healing effects observed when combined with BPC-157 in musculoskeletal research.
Overview
TB-500 is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring peptide Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4), a ubiquitous protein involved in actin polymerisation and cell motility. It is studied for its role in tissue repair, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory activity across multiple tissue types.
Mechanism of Action
TB-500 promotes actin polymerisation by sequestering G-actin monomers, which facilitates cell migration and tissue remodelling. It also upregulates cell surface receptors and promotes differentiation of progenitor cells, making it a key mediator of the body's repair response.
Research Effects
Wound Healing
Extensive ResearchRobust evidence in animal models for accelerating cutaneous wound closure through enhanced keratinocyte and endothelial cell migration.
Muscle & Tendon Repair
Extensive ResearchResearch demonstrates improved recovery of muscle and connective tissue injuries, with histological evidence of reduced fibrosis.
Cardioprotection
Moderate ResearchStudies in cardiac injury models suggest TB-500 promotes cardiomyocyte survival and reduces infarct size.
Anti-inflammatory
Moderate ResearchDownregulates TNF-α and other pro-inflammatory mediators in injury models.
Neuroprotection
Preliminary ResearchEarly research indicates possible neuroprotective effects in models of spinal cord injury and stroke.
