Product Information

• Name: Pyr-Ala
• Synonyms: L-Pyroglutamyl-L-Alanine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pyr-Ala is a peptide that has been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory diseases. It specifically targets the group P2 sequences of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Pyr-Ala also inhibits IL-6 and TNF-α activity by binding to the amide bond of these molecules, inhibiting their catalysis and preventing their formation. Pyr-Ala has also shown efficacy in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, by inhibiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1β and TNF-α. This drug binds to the bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L -alanine into pyruvic acid, preventing its function and inhibiting bacterial growth.
