| Targets |
The primary target is dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). P110 specifically inhibits the interaction between Drp1 and its adaptor protein Fis1 on the mitochondrial outer membrane. By blocking this protein-protein interaction, the peptide prevents the translocation of Drp1 from the cytosol to the mitochondria and inhibits its GTPase activity, thereby suppressing pathological mitochondrial fission. It displays no effect on dynamin 1 or other mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, P110 inhibits Drp1 GTPase activity (IC50 ~2 uM) and blocks mitochondrial fragmentation in cell culture. It reduces mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and programmed cell death. In neuronal cell models of Parkinson's disease (e.g., SH-SY5Y cells treated with MPP+), P110 (0.1-10 uM) significantly improves cell viability and preserves mitochondrial morphology, reducing the percentage of cells with fragmented mitochondria from 60% to 20%.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, P110 has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in multiple animal models. In a mouse model of Parkinson's disease (MPTP), intranasal administration of P110 (1 mg/kg) or intraperitoneal injection (1 mg/kg) before each MPTP injection reduced dopaminergic neuron loss in the substantia nigra by >50% and ameliorated behavioral deficits. It has also shown efficacy in models of Huntington's disease, stroke, and sepsis without blocking normal cell division.

| Enzyme Assay |
A non-cell-based GTPase activity assay is performed using recombinant Drp1 protein. Drp1 (100 nM) is incubated with GTP (200 uM) in assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, pH 7.5) with varying concentrations of P110 (0.1-100 uM) at 37degC for 30 minutes. The inorganic phosphate released is detected using a malachite green reagent, and absorbance at 620 nm is measured. The IC50 for GTPase inhibition is calculated. For direct binding, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) can be used.
|
| Cell Assay |
In a typical cell-based assay, primary rat cortical neurons or SH-SY5Y cells are pre-treated with P110 (1-10 uM) for 1 hour. They are then exposed to an apoptotic stimulus (e.g., 1 uM staurosporine, 500 uM MPP+, or oxygen-glucose deprivation). After 24 hours, mitochondrial morphology is visualized by staining with MitoTracker Red (100 nM, 30 min) and confocal microscopy. Cells with fragmented mitochondria are counted. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay, and LDH release is measured to quantify cell death. ROS production is measured using DCFH-DA.
|
| Animal Protocol |
A standard in vivo protocol for Parkinson's disease uses male C57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks). MPTP (20 mg/kg, 4 injections, 2 hours apart) is administered intraperitoneally. P110 TFA is dissolved in sterile saline (1 mg/mL) and administered intranasally (10 uL per nostril, 1 mg/kg) or intraperitoneally (1 mg/kg) 1 hour before each MPTP injection. For chronic infusion, an osmotic minipump is implanted into the lateral ventricle (0.5 uL/h, 0.5 mg/mL). Mice are euthanized 7 days later. Brain sections are immunostained for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) to count dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Striatal dopamine and its metabolites are measured by HPLC.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a TAT-conjugated peptide (MW ~2525 Da), P110 is cell-permeable and can cross the blood-brain barrier to some extent, especially when administered intranasally. Its half-life in plasma is short (likely minutes) due to rapid proteolytic degradation, which is why in vivo studies require repeated injections or continuous infusion. The peptide is cleared renally and catabolized into amino acids. Formulation in sterile saline or DMSO/saline is typical. Plasma protein binding is low.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for P110 in animals is not extensively published, but studies indicate it is well-tolerated at neuroprotective doses (1 mg/kg IP). The compound does not block the physiological functions of Drp1 required for cell division, suggesting a selective effect on pathological fission. The TAT peptide carrier is generally considered safe. However, repeated administration of foreign peptides can potentially elicit an immune response in some animal models. Acute toxicity studies are typically performed by the manufacturer.

| Additional Infomation |
P110 TFA is a research tool peptide and not an FDA-approved drug. It is widely used in cell biology and neuroscience to study the role of mitochondrial dynamics in disease. The peptide sequence is derived from the Drp1 binding site on Fis1 and is conjugated to a TAT sequence (YGRKKRRQRRR) to facilitate cell entry. While highly effective in research models, its clinical development is limited by its peptide nature (poor oral bioavailability, rapid degradation, potential immunogenicity). It serves as a valuable tool for validating Drp1 as a therapeutic target for diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Huntington's, stroke, and cardiomyopathy.
