| Targets |
Bradykinin (1-6) is a fragment of the full-length bradykinin peptide (1-9). The primary target of bradykinin is the bradykinin B2 receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the vasoactive and inflammatory effects of bradykinin. As a truncated peptide, Bradykinin (1-6) may have reduced affinity for the B2 receptor compared to full-length bradykinin, but it is still able to interact with bradykinin receptors and modulate their activity. It is also a substrate for carboxypeptidase Y, which cleaves it from the full-length peptide. The compound is used to study the structure-activity relationships of bradykinin and its metabolites.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Bradykinin (1-6) is a stable metabolite of bradykinin that is used as a research tool to study the bradykinin system. It has been used to study the specificity and kinetics of kininases, the enzymes that degrade bradykinin. The peptide is also used as a standard in mass spectrometry analysis. Its biological activity is related to its ability to interact with bradykinin receptors, although its affinity and potency are lower than those of the full-length peptide. Bradykinin (1-6) is a valuable tool for studying the bradykinin signaling pathway and for developing new therapeutic agents targeting this system.

| ln Vivo |
Bradykinin (1-6) is a persistent metabolite of bradykinin in rat urine. Bradykinin (BK) is particularly active on renal function as it is engaged in enhancing renal blood flow as well as diuresis and natriuresis [1].
In vivo, Bradykinin is a tissue-based system that has strong effects on the heart and kidneys. Bradykinin dilates blood vessels via the release of prostacyclin, nitric oxide, and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor. As a metabolite of bradykinin, Bradykinin (1-6) may have some of these in vivo effects, although its potency is reduced compared to the full-length peptide. The compound is used in research to study the metabolism and function of bradykinin in vivo. It is also used as a standard in analytical methods for measuring bradykinin and its metabolites in biological samples. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro binding activity of Bradykinin (1-6) can be assessed using receptor binding assays with the bradykinin B2 receptor. A typical protocol involves incubating the peptide with membranes from cells expressing the B2 receptor and a radiolabeled bradykinin ligand (e.g., [3H]-bradykinin). Bound and free ligand are separated by filtration, and the radioactivity is measured. The IC50 or Ki value is determined by plotting the percentage of specific binding remaining against the peptide concentration. The activity of the peptide can also be assessed using functional assays, such as measuring calcium mobilization or inositol phosphate accumulation in cells expressing the B2 receptor.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular experiments, cells expressing the bradykinin B2 receptor (e.g., endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, or transfected cell lines) are cultured in appropriate media and treated with Bradykinin (1-6) at various concentrations (typically 0.1-100 microM). The peptide's ability to activate the B2 receptor is assessed by measuring downstream signaling, such as calcium mobilization using fluorescent calcium indicators (e.g., Fluo-4) or inositol phosphate accumulation using a radiolabeled assay. The duration of treatment varies depending on the specific assay. The peptide can also be used in competition assays with full-length bradykinin to determine its relative affinity and potency.

| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with Bradykinin (1-6) are not commonly performed, as it is a metabolite of bradykinin. However, the peptide can be administered to animals (e.g., rats or mice) via intravenous or intraperitoneal injection to study its effects on blood pressure, vascular permeability, or other physiological parameters. A typical protocol involves administering the peptide at various doses (e.g., 0.1-10 mg/kg) and measuring hemodynamic parameters using telemetry or tail-cuff methods. Blood samples are collected to measure the levels of the peptide and its metabolites. The peptide is also used as a standard in analytical methods for measuring bradykinin and its metabolites in biological samples.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Bradykinin (1-6) is a peptide with a molecular weight of 659.73 g/mol and a molecular formula of C30H45N9O8. As a peptide, its pharmacokinetic properties are characterized by rapid clearance from the circulation due to proteolytic degradation. The peptide is typically administered by injection in preclinical studies. Its half-life is short, and it is rapidly metabolized by peptidases in the blood and tissues. The peptide is stable in lyophilized form and should be stored at -20degC. It is soluble in water and aqueous buffers. Its pharmacokinetic properties make it suitable for acute pharmacological studies but less suitable for chronic dosing.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Bradykinin (1-6) is a peptide fragment of bradykinin and is generally considered to have low toxicity. As a naturally occurring peptide, it is expected to be well-tolerated at pharmacological doses. However, high doses may cause hypotension or other effects due to its vasoactive properties. The compound should be handled with standard laboratory precautions and is intended for research use only.
