Product Information

• Name: (Phe4)-Dermorphin (1-4) amide
• Synonyms: H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Phe-NH2 H-Y(dA)FF-NH2
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dermorphin is a peptide that is derived from the proenkephalin gene. It is an opioid analgesic and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of hernias. Dermorphin has also been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and blood coagulation, making it an antithrombotic therapy. The structure of dermorphin has been determined using a hydroxy group as the reactive site for synthesis and molecular modelling techniques. Dermorphin has also been shown to have an active oxygen species selectivity index (a measure of antioxidant activity) higher than those of other drugs in its class, which makes it suitable for use as a sealant in abdominal surgery.
