Corticostatin I (rabbit) CAS NO.134090-73-6

Corticostatin I (rabbit), also identified as neutrophil defensin NP-3a, is a highly purified, cationic 34-amino acid peptide characterized by its high arginine and cysteine content and stabilized by three pairs of disulfide bonds, supplied as a lyophilized white powder for specialized endocrine and immunological research. Originally isolated from rabbit fetal and adult lung tissues as well as peritoneal neutrophils, this peptide serves as a critical research standard for scientists investigating the complex regulatory mechanisms of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and innate immune responses. Its well-defined structure and multifunctional biological profile make it an essential reagent for pharmaceutical R&D, academic laboratories, and biotechnology firms focused on stress physiology, neuroendocrinology, antimicrobial discovery, and the development of novel immunomodulatory therapeutics.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

The primary biological mechanism of Corticostatin I (rabbit) involves the competitive inhibition of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) binding to its specific receptors on adrenal cortical cells, specifically interfering with the address recognition site (amino acids 14-18) of the ACTH molecule to prevent the subsequent stimulation of corticosteroid synthesis and cAMP accumulation. Beyond this endocrine modulation, the peptide exerts direct antimicrobial effects by disrupting the integrity of microbial cell membranes through its cationic and amphipathic properties, leading to rapid membrane depolarization and osmotic lysis of target pathogens. Additionally, it functions as a potent immunomodulator by stimulating L-type calcium channels, inducing chemotaxis of monocytes, triggering mast cell degranulation to release histamine, and significantly enhancing the phagocytic activity of macrophages, thereby bridging innate immune defense with neuroendocrine regulation at the cellular signaling level.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is specifically indicated for in vitro laboratory research, cell-based assays, and biochemical applications within endocrinological, immunological, and microbiological research settings. It serves as a primary reference peptide for evaluating the inhibition of ACTH-stimulated steroidogenesis in rat adrenal cell suspensions, utilizing standardized bioassays to determine its potency with an established ID50 of approximately 25 nM. Researchers employ Corticostatin I (rabbit) to investigate the structure-activity relationships of defensins and corticostatins, to study the bidirectional communication between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, and to assess its broad-spectrum microbicidal activity against various bacterial and fungal strains using radial diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration assays. Furthermore, it is indicated for cell adhesion and migration studies, calcium flux assays in immune cells, and as a mechanistic tool for exploring novel anti-inflammatory pathways and host-defense strategies in both basic science and preclinical drug discovery pipelines.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Although Corticostatin I (rabbit) is strictly designated for research use and is not a clinical therapeutic agent, extensive in vitro and animal model studies have demonstrated its significant efficacy in modulating adrenal function, enhancing immune surveillance, and combating microbial infections. Laboratory evaluations confirm its status as the most potent member of the corticostatin family, capable of completely inhibiting ACTH-stimulated corticosterone production at nanomolar concentrations without affecting basal steroidogenesis or angiotensin II-stimulated pathways, highlighting its high specificity for the melanocortin system. In cellular models, it effectively enhances the phagocytic index of peritoneal macrophages in a dose-dependent manner and exhibits potent microbicidal activity against a range of microorganisms, validating its dual role as both a hormonal regulator and an effector of innate immunity. These preclinical findings provide a robust scientific framework for understanding the physiological balance of stress responses and immune activation, guiding further research into defensin-based therapeutics and HPA axis modulation.
