Thyrotropin releasing hormone
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), also called thyrotropin-releasing factor (TRF), thyroliberin or protirelin, is a tripeptide hormone that stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone and prolactin by the anterior pituitary. In humans, it also acts as a prolactin-releasing factor. It is also a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. TRH is produced by the hypothalamus and travels across the median eminence to the pituitary via the hypophyseal portal system. In addition to the brain, TRH can also be detected in other areas of the body including the gastrointestinal system and pancreatic islets. Medical preparations of TRH are used in diagnostic tests of thyroid disorders and in acromegaly. [HMDB] This compound belongs to the family of N-acyl-alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at his terminal nitrogen atom.

Bradykinin
Bradykinin is a vasoactive kinin that is liberated from its substrate kininogen by the action of kallikrein, and is known to be involved in a wide range of biologic processes. It may play an important role in blood pressure regulation and the maintenance of normal blood flow. Moreover, in various pathologic states of the cardiovascular system, it appears to provide protective actions against ischemic injury, ventricular hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, and thrombosis. Bradykinin is a potent vasodilator that acts through endothelial B2 kinin receptors to stimulate the release of nitric oxide and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor. Bradykinin deficiency states may play a role in some forms of hypertension, and a relative deficiency in bradykinin may be a contributing factor to worsening heart failure. Experimental studies revealed that mice lacking the B2 receptor gene were more likely to develop hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and myocardial damage. Kinins exert several biologic actions. They are involved in nociception, inflammation, capillary permeability, reactive hyperemia, and stimulation of cellular glucose uptake. Bradykinin is a polypeptide that circulates in the plasma in very low concentrations in comparison with the amount of bradykinin found in various body tissues. Kininogens ([alpha] 2 globulins) are synthesized in the liver and circulate at high concentrations in the plasma. There are two kininogenases that convert kininogens into bradykinin: plasma kallikrein, also known as Fletcher factor, and glandular kallikrein, also known as tissue kallikrein.

Angiotensin II
Angiotensin II is a hormone that may act on the central nervous system to regulate renal sympathetic nerve activity, renal function, and, therefore, blood pressure. Angiotensin II is produced locally within the kidney and mediates tissue injury through a series of nonhemodynamic effects. angiotensin II is not only involved in the regulation of blood pressure, water and sodium homeostasis, and control of other neurohumoral systems, but also leads to excessive production of reactive oxygen species and to hypertrophy, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of vascular cells. Angiotensin II is one of the main factors involved in hypertension-induced tissue damage. This peptide regulates the inflammatory process. Angiotensin II activates circulating cells, and participates in their adhesion to the activated endothelium and subsequent transmigration through the synthesis of adhesion molecules, chemokines and cytokines. Among the intracellular signals involved in angiotensin II-induced inflammation, the production of reactive oxygen species and the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB are the best known. Classical, well-defined actions of Angiotensin II in the brain include the regulation of hormone formation and release, the control of the central and peripheral sympathoadrenal systems, and the regulation of water and sodium intake. As a consequence of changes in the hormone, sympathetic and electrolyte systems, feedback mechanisms in turn modulate the activity of the brain Angiotensin II systems. There are two Angiotensin II systems in the brain. The discovery of brain Angiotensin II receptors located in neurons inside the blood brain barrier confirmed the existence of an endogenous brain Angiotensin II system, responding to Angiotensin II generated in and/or transported into the brain. In addition, Angiotensin II receptors in circumventricular organs and in cerebrovascular endothelial cells respond to circulating Angiotensin II of peripheral origin. Thus, the brain responds to both circulating and tissue Angiotensin II, and the two systems are integrated. (PMID: 17147923, 16672146, 16601568, 16481883, 16075377).

Angiotensin III
Angiotensin III (AngIII) is one of the N-terminal angiotensin degradation products of angiotensin II. AngIII shares some of its properties with Ang II, including chemotaxis and production of growth factors and chemokines. AngIII generated within the brain acts within neural circuits of the central nervous system to regulate body fluid balance. The stimulation of vasopressin release by AngIII is thought to be one of the mechanisms by which AngIII controls volume homeostasis under conditions of hypovolemia, by reducing renal water loss and increasing blood pressure. Brain aminopeptidase A, the enzyme forming central AngIII, could constitute a putative central therapeutic target for the treatment of hypertension.

Enkephalin L
Enkephalin L is an opioid peptide. Opioid peptides are a group of neuropeptides which include enkephalins, endorphins and dynorphins. In addition to their central and peripheral antinociceptive function, opioids can modulate immune activity and cell proliferation. Enkephalins typically have a turnover rate measured in seconds to minutes, both in vivo and in vitro, and this stability is related to the age of the cell system under study. It is noteworthy that the residues most essential to enkephalin function are also either neurotransmitters themselves (glycine) or immediate precursors of L-Dopa, dopamine and norepinephrine (tyrosine and phenylalanine). The variable fifth amino acid leucine (leu5) or methionine (met5) has not yet been assigned any neurotransmitter candidacy. Again, this suggests that enkephalin is polyfunctional in that, in its intact state it elicits binding to the same sites in the brain as morphine and other opiates, and its degradation products have a potential for follow-up accessory functions by reacting as signaling entities themselves, or as the immediate precursors to inhibitory or metabotropic neurotransmitters. Enkephalins are present in macrophages infiltrating the dermal papillae in involved psoriatic skin and that the amount of enkephalin is significantly increased in involved psoriatic skin. Major enkephalin pathways in the brain involve the extrapyramidal system, including motor pathways controlled by the basal ganglia, the limbic system that governs emotional and behavioral control, and the hypothalamic-neuroendocrine axis. The apparent overlap of localization within the central nervous system of dopaminergic, glycinergic, and enkephalinergic pathways is speculated to be of neurophysiological significance, especially in light of the relatively short half-life of the enkephalins and the immediate precursor-product relationship between tyrosine and dopamine, and glycinergic signaling. Enkephalins are released into the bloodstream of mammals by the adrenal medulla. Once they are in the blood, these peptides undergo a fairly rapid hydrolysis by several plasma-contained enzymes. However, a fraction of the enkephalins present in the plasma are bound to the serum albumin, and the bound peptides are almost completely intact even after a long incubation in the presence of serum enzymes.

Tuftsin
Tuftsin (L-threonyl-L-lysyl-L-prolyl-L-arginine) is a peptide related primarily to the immune system function. Tuftsin is a tetrapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) produced by enzymatic cleavage of the Fc-domain of the heavy chain of immunoglobulin G. It is produced primarily in the spleen. Its biological activity is related primarily to the immune system function. Tuftsin binds to specific receptors on the surface of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, stimulating their migration, phagocytic, bactericidal, and tumoricidal activity. It also influences antibody formation. Tuftsin deficiency, either hereditary or following splenectomy, results in increased susceptibility to certain infections. Tuftsin has been chemically synthesized and it is considered for use in immunotherapy.

S-Nitrosoglutathione
S-Nitrosoglutathione is a S-nitrosothiol. S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) are thought to represent a circulating endogenous reservoir of nitric oxide (NO), and may have potential as donors of nitric oxide, distinct from currently used agents. They have the general formula RSNO, and naturally occurring examples include S-nitrosocysteine, S-nitrosoglutathione and S-nitrosoalbumin, in which R is an amino acid, polypeptide and protein respectively. RSNOs have anti-platelet properties, a theoretical role in the treatment of asthma and the potential to be used as agents to treat infectious diseases ranging from the common cold to AIDS. RSNOs are relatively unstable, being degraded to release nitric oxide and the corresponding disulphide. Their stability is influenced by the properties of the R group, heat, light, the presence of transition metal ions (in particular copper) and the presence of other thiols. RSNOs participate in transnitrosation reactions in which the -nitric oxide group is transferred to another thiol to form a more stable RSNO. Potential interactions of RSNOs include that with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which enhances the ability of copper to catalyse their degradation. Transnitrosation reactions with thiol-containing enzymes can influence protein function, and the intracellular thiol glutathione, levels of which are influenced by many disease states, can also influence stability. Genetic and biochemical data demonstrate a pivotal role for S-nitrosothiols in mediating the actions of nitric oxide synthases (NOSs). RSNOs serve to convey NO bioactivity and to regulate protein function. S-Nitrosoglutathione breakdown is subject to precise regulation. For example, S-Nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) breaks down cytosolic S-Nitrosoglutathione, ultimately to oxidized GSH and ammonia. GSNOR, in turn, modulates the levels of some S-nitrosylated proteins. S-nitrosoglutathione, formed as nitric oxide moves away from erythrocytes in response to hemoglobin desaturation, may signal hypoxia-inducible factor-1-mediated physiologic and gene regulatory events in pulmonary endothelial cells without profound hypoxia, through a thiol-based reaction. S-Nitrosoglutathione stabilizes the alpha-subunit of hypoxia inducible factor1 (HIF-1) in normoxic cells, but not in the presence of PI3K inhibitors. (PMID: 11749666, 17541013, 16528016).

Substance P
Entamoeba histolytica is a single-celled parasitic protozoan that infects the lower gastrointestinal tract of humans. The symptoms of infection are diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. This protozoan was found to secrete serotonin as well as substance P and neurotensin.; In the field of neuroscience, substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide: an undecapeptide that functions as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator. It belongs to the tachykinin neuropeptide family. Substance P and its closely related neuropeptide neurokinin A (NKA) are produced from a polyprotein precursor after differential splicing of the preprotachykinin A gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of substance P is as follows:; Substance P (SP), is an 11-amino acid neuropeptide. SP is a member of the tachykinin family of peptides because it induces rapid smooth muscle contraction in guinea pig ileum and rat duodenum. Other members of the tachykinin family, sharing common carboxyl terminal Phe-X-Gly-Leu-met-NH2 sequences in mammals, include neurokinin A and neurokinin B. In mammals, tachykinins are produced by two genes, preprotachykinin-A (PPT-A) and preprotachykinin-B (PPT-B), and SP is a product of the PPT-A gene. SP is localized in the central nervous system as well as in several peripheral tissues, including the entire length of the gastrointestinal tract as well as the colon. The main sources of SP in the gut include the myenteric and submucosal plexus, intrinsic sensory neurons, as well as sensory neurons originating from the dorsal root ganglia. A newly identified gene, preprotachykinin C gene, encodes for the sequence of a new preprotachykinin protein designated hemokinin (HK) and produced primarily by hematopoietic cells. HK binds with high selectivity to NK-1R and has similar in vivo potency to SP. Like SP, HK is an 11-amino acid peptide having ~55\\\\% amino acid similarity to SP.; The effects of SP are mediated by three different G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), namely neurokinin (NK)-1, 2, and 3. SP binds with high affinity to NK-1 receptor (NK-1R), and with low affinity to NK-2 and 3 receptors. NK-1 receptors are present in both small intestine and colon of animals and humans and are localized in a variety of cells, including nerves, smooth muscle, immune cells, glands, endothelial cells, as well as epithelial cells. Although NK-1 receptors have been associated with several intestinal pathophysiologic conditions (see below), NK-2 receptors have been linked mostly with circular muscle contraction, and are localized in circular muscle and muscularis mucosae. Although NK-2 receptors are present predominantly on smooth muscle and, like NK-1, can affect gut motility, NK-3 receptors are expressed predominantly in neurons and can stimulate or diminish muscle contraction indirectly following SP binding to neuronal cells in the submucosal and myenteric nerve plexuses of the gastrointestinal tract. NK-3 receptors also provide slow excitatory synaptic input to neurons in ganglia of the sphincter of Oddi. Thus, both NK-2 and NK-3 receptors affect motility responses in the GI, but there is very little evidence that they are involved in neuroimmune interactions. (PMID: 17192554); Substance P is an important element in pain perception. The sensory function of substance P is thought to be related to the transmission of pain information into the central nervous system. Substance P coexists with the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in primary afferents that respond to painful stimulation. SP has been associated with the regulation of mood disorders, anxiety, stress, reinforcement, neurogenesis, respiratory rhythm, neurotoxicity, nausea/emesis, pain and nociception. Substance P and other sensory neuropeptides can be released from the peripheral terminals of sensory nerve fibers in the skin, muscle and joints. It is proposed that this release is involved in neurogenic inflammation which is a local inflammatory response to certain types of infection or injury... Substance P (SP), is an 11-amino acid neuropeptide. SP is a member of the tachykinin family of peptides because it induces rapid smooth muscle contraction in guinea pig ileum and rat duodenum.

A newly identified gene, preprotachykinin C gene, encodes for the sequence of a new preprotachykinin protein designated hemokinin (HK) and produced primarily by hematopoietic cells. HK binds with high selectivity to NK-1R and has similar in vivo potency to SP. Like SP, HK is an 11-amino acid peptide having ~55\\\\% amino acid similarity to SP. The effects of SP are mediated by three different G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), namely neurokinin (NK)-1, 2, and 3. SP binds with high affinity to NK-1 receptor (NK-1R), and with low affinity to NK-2 and 3 receptors. NK-1 receptors are present in both small intestine and colon of animals and humans and are localized in a variety of cells, including nerves, smooth muscle, immune cells, glands, endothelial cells, as well as epithelial cells. Although NK-1 receptors have been associated with several intestinal pathophysiologic conditions (see below), NK-2 receptors have been linked mostly with circular muscle contraction, and are localized in circular muscle and muscularis mucosae. Although NK-2 receptors are present predominantly on smooth muscle and, like NK-1, can affect gut motility, NK-3 receptors are expressed predominantly in neurons and can stimulate or diminish muscle contraction indirectly following SP binding to neuronal cells in the submucosal and myenteric nerve plexuses of the gastrointestinal tract. NK-3 receptors also provide slow excitatory synaptic input to neurons in ganglia of the sphincter of Oddi. Thus, both NK-2 and NK-3 receptors affect motility responses in the GI, but there is very little evidence that they are involved in neuroimmune interactions. (PMID: 17192554).

Bradykinin hydroxyproline
Bradykinin hydroxyproline is a bradykinin analog, where the third amino acid, proline, is replaced with hydroxyproline. Bradykinin is a vasoactive kinin that is liberated from its substrate kininogen by the action of kallikrein, and is known to be involved in a wide range of biologic processes. It may play an important role in blood pressure regulation and the maintenance of normal blood flow. Moreover, in various pathologic states of the cardiovascular system, it appears to provide protective actions against ischemic injury, ventricular hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, and thrombosis. Bradykinin is a potent vasodilator that acts through endothelial B2 kinin receptors to stimulate the release of nitric oxide and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor. Bradykinin deficiency states may play a role in some forms of hypertension, and a relative deficiency in bradykinin may be a contributing factor to worsening heart failure. Experimental studies revealed that mice lacking the B2 receptor gene were more likely to develop hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and myocardial damage. Kinins exert several biologic actions. They are involved in nociception, inflammation, capillary permeability, reactive hyperemia, and stimulation of cellular glucose uptake. Bradykinin is a polypeptide that circulates in the plasma in very low concentrations in comparison with the amount of bradykinin found in various body tissues. Kininogens ([alpha] 2 globulins) are synthesized in the liver and circulate at high concentrations in the plasma. There are two kininogenases that convert kininogens into bradykinin: plasma kallikrein, also known as Fletcher factor, and glandular kallikrein, also known as tissue kallikrein.

Arginine vasopressin 1-8
Arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as vasopressin, argipressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a hormone found in most mammals, including humans. Vasopressin is a peptide hormone that controls the reabsorption of molecules in the tubules of the kidneys by affecting the tissues permeability. It also increases peripheral vascular resistance, which in turn increases arterial blood pressure. It plays a key role in homeostasis, and the regulation of water, glucose, and salts in the blood. It is derived from a preprohormone precursor that is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in vesicles at the posterior pituitary. Most of it is stored in the posterior pituitary to be released into the bloodstream; however, some AVP is also released directly into the brain. This is a sample structure of fraction 1-8 of the peptide chain.

Terlipressin
Terlipressin is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an analogue of vasopressin used as a vasoactive drug in the management of hypotension. It has been found to be effective when norepinephrine does not help. [Wikipedia]Terlipressin acts on three different receptors, vasopressin receptor V1a (which initiates vasoconstriction, liver gluconeogenesis, platelet aggregation and release of factor VIII), vasopressin receptor V1b (which mediates corticotrophin secretion from the pituitary) and vasopressin receptor V2 which controls free water reabsorption in the renal medullar. The binding of terlipressin to the V2 receptor activates adenylate cyclase which causes the release of aquaporin 2 channels into the cells lining the renal medullar duct. This allows water to be reabsorbed down an osmotic gradient so the urine is more concentrated.
