| Targets |
CD28 (T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein / TP44). CD28 is a critical co-stimulatory receptor on T cells that provides essential signals for T-cell activation, proliferation, and survival. By antagonizing CD28, Reltecimod modulates T-cell co-stimulatory signaling and downstream effects of CD28 pathway engagement.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Reltecimod functions as a CD28 antagonist, modulating T-cell co-stimulatory signaling. The peptide serves as a robust probe for investigating T-cell co-stimulatory signaling and the downstream effects of CD28 pathway engagement. Its immunomodulatory activity has been characterized in various in vitro assays using primary human T cells and T-cell lines.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Reltecimod has beneficial effects against different bacterial infections, their exotoxins and endotoxins, and ionizing radiation. The compound has been studied in animal models of necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs). Its ability to modulate T-cell responses without completely eliminating immune function makes it a promising immunomodulatory agent for infectious and inflammatory conditions.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free assays for Reltecimod are limited due to its nature as a peptide immunomodulator. Binding studies to CD28 can be performed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or ELISA-based binding assays with immobilized recombinant human CD28 protein. The peptide is incubated with CD28 at varying concentrations, and binding affinity is determined. Competition assays with labeled CD80 or CD86 (the natural ligands of CD28) can be performed to assess the peptide's ability to block CD28-ligand interactions.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Reltecimod use primary human T cells or T-cell lines (e.g., Jurkat cells) stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies or with antigen-presenting cells expressing CD80/CD86. Cells are treated with Reltecimod at concentrations ranging from 0.01-100 μM for 24-72 hours. T-cell activation is measured by assessing proliferation (via [³H]-thymidine incorporation or CFSE dilution), cytokine production (IL-2, IFN-γ, TNF-α by ELISA or flow cytometry), and expression of activation markers (CD25, CD69 by flow cytometry). Inhibition of CD28-mediated co-stimulation is calculated from dose-response curves.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Pathogen-free, female balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse (acute bacterial peritonitis induced by intraperitoneal (ip) injection of E. coli). Reltecimod (1.25-5 mg/kg; iv) can improve the survival rate of mice infected with different bacteria [2]. E. coli 018:K1)[2]
Doses: 1.25 or 5 mg/kg Route of Administration: IV; single dose; 4 hrs (hrs (hours)) post-infection Experimental Results: 100% survival on day 6, single dose of 5 mg/kg . Survival rate was 70% at 4 doses (1, 12, 24 and 36 hrs (hrs (hours)) post-infection) of 1.25 mg/kg Animal/Disease Models: Pathogen-free female balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse (NSTI induced by intramuscularinjection of Streptococcus pyogenes into the thigh) [ 2] Doses: 2.5 or 5 mg/kg as a single dose; 1 hour, or 1 hour, 12 hrs (hrs (hours)), or 72 hrs (hrs (hours)) after infection. Experimental Results: Day 8, single dose of 2.5 mg/kg resulted in 65% survival. Survival rate was 30% after two doses (1 hour and 12 hrs (hrs (hours)) post-infection) of 2.5 mg/kg on day 8. A single dose (1 hour after infection) of 5 mg/kg resulted in a survival rate of 90% on day 6. Animal/Disease Models: Pathogen-free femal In vivo efficacy studies are conducted in mouse models of bacterial infection or necrotizing soft-tissue infections. Reltecimod is administered via intravenous or intraperitoneal injection at doses typically ranging from 1-30 mg/kg. Disease progression is monitored by measuring bacterial load, survival, and assessment of tissue damage. In models of radiation exposure, survival and hematopoietic recovery are assessed. Immunological endpoints include measurement of T-cell activation markers and cytokine levels in plasma and tissues. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic studies of Reltecimod as a peptide are limited. As a peptide therapeutic, the compound is administered parenterally and is subject to proteolytic degradation. Its half-life is determined by its stability in plasma and tissues. PK parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and half-life are determined in preclinical species. The compound's distribution is primarily to the vascular compartment and tissues with high blood flow. Metabolism occurs via peptidase-mediated degradation.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for Reltecimod are limited to preclinical studies. As a CD28 antagonist, potential toxicities may include immunosuppression and increased susceptibility to infections. The compound's immunomodulatory effects are expected to be reversible upon drug discontinuation. Standard toxicology studies would be required for clinical development. At research-grade doses, the compound is handled with standard laboratory precautions. Comprehensive safety data are not widely reported in public sources.
