| Targets |
Kyotorphin's mechanism of action is complex and not fully understood. It is known to exert analgesic effects by releasing endogenous enkephalins (Met-enkephalin and Leu-enkephalin), which are endogenous opioid peptides. This indirect activation of the opioid system contributes to its pain-relieving properties. Kyotorphin also has direct effects on the central nervous system, including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective actions. It is synthesized at nerve terminals and is found in the brain and CSF. Its levels are altered in certain pathological conditions.

| ln Vitro |
Using the hot plate test, the analgesic efficacy of Kyotomorphin was determined. Its ED50 value was found to be 5.3 μg/animal (15.7 nmole/animal) [1].
In vitro, Kyotorphin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities. Its effects on pain pathways can be studied in neuronal cultures. However, specific in vitro data, such as IC50 or EC50 values, are not detailed in standard product descriptions. The compound is used as a research tool to study its effects on neuronal signaling and inflammation. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Kyotorphin has been shown to have analgesic effects in animal models of pain. It is believed to exert its effects by releasing endogenous enkephalins. Its levels in the CSF are altered in conditions such as persistent pain and Alzheimer's disease. However, specific in vivo protocols and results, such as efficacy in pain models, are not detailed in standard product descriptions. Its use is limited to research applications.

| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro assays for Kyotorphin measure its binding to its targets and its effects on enkephalin release. Receptor binding assays can be performed to study its interaction with potential receptors. Functional assays can measure the release of enkephalins from neuronal preparations. However, specific protocols are not detailed in standard product descriptions. The compound is a research tool.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Kyotorphin are used to study its effects on neuronal cells. In a typical assay, neuronal cultures are treated with Kyotorphin, and the release of enkephalins is measured by ELISA. The compound's effects on cell viability and inflammation can also be assessed. These assays confirm its activity in a cellular context.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for Kyotorphin are conducted in models of pain. In a typical study, Kyotorphin is administered to animals, and its analgesic effects are assessed using tests such as the tail-flick or hot-plate test. The compound's ability to reduce pain responses is measured. These studies confirm its analgesic activity.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Kyotorphin has a molecular weight of 337.37 g/mol and a molecular formula of C15H23N5O4. It is a solid compound. It is soluble in water and other solvents. For storage, it is recommended to keep the powder at -20°C. Detailed pharmacokinetic properties such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) have not been extensively characterized. As a peptide, it is likely to be rapidly degraded in vivo.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Detailed toxicity data for Kyotorphin is not provided in standard product descriptions. As an endogenous peptide, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been reported. As with all research chemicals, standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling Kyotorphin. Its use is limited to research applications and it is not intended for human or veterinary use.

| Additional Infomation |
Tyr-Arg is a dipeptide composed of L-tyrosine and L-arginine linked by a peptide bond. It is the conjugate base of L-tyrosinyl-L-arginine (1+).
Kyotorphin is a research compound and is not approved for any clinical or therapeutic use. It is an endogenous neuroactive dipeptide with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. It is composed of L-tyrosine and L-arginine. Kyotorphin is synthesized at nerve terminals and is found in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). People with persistent pain and Alzheimer's disease have lower levels of kyotorphin in their CSF. Its mechanism of action involves releasing endogenous enkephalins. Kyotorphin is a valuable research tool for studying pain, neuroprotection, and neuroinflammation. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
