Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that is produced in the colon by bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber. Butyrate has been shown to protect the colon from inflammation, oxidative damage, and cancer. It also inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells by regulating cell cycle arrest and reactive oxygen species production. Butyrate may act as a transporter for lipids in the intestinal epithelium by acting as a buffer or transport molecule for long-chain fatty acids. The mechanism for this appears to be mediated through butyric acid, glycyl-l-leucine, and other volatile fatty acids that are involved in regulating epithelial permeability.

L-Methionylglycyl-L-methionyl-L-methionine trifluoroacetate

CAS: 14517-45-4

L-Methionylglycyl-L-methionyl-L-methionine trifluoroacetate is a medicinal compound that has shown promise as an anticancer agent. It is an analog of a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human urine and has been shown to inhibit the activity of certain kinases, which are enzymes that play a key role in cancer cell growth and survival. L-Methionylglycyl-L-methionyl-L-methionine trifluoroacetate induces apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells by inhibiting the activity of these kinases. This inhibitor has demonstrated potent anticancer activity against various human tumor types, including breast and lung cancer. The compound shows favorable pharmacokinetic properties and good tolerability in preclinical studies, making it a promising candidate for further development as an anticancer therapy.
