Product Information

• Name: Cyclo(RGDfK)
• Synonyms: [Bbc]RGD(dF)K Cyclo(RGDfK) where f is D-Phenylalanine Cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-[D-Phe]-Lys)where D-Phe is D-Phenylalanine c(RGDfK) c(-RGDfK)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: The cyclic pentapeptide cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-[D-Phe]-Lys) is a highly potent and selective inhibitor for the alphavβ3 integrin receptor. A related compound, cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-[D-Phe]-Val), is a promising anticancer drug candidate- it inhibits angiogenesis and induces apoptosis in vascular cells.Cyclic RGD-containing peptides are selective antagonists of integrins, proteins that play important roles in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In a suitably labelled form, these peptides may serve as useful tools for diagnostic imaging and peptide targeted therapy of some types of cancer.
