Peptide
Comment: Fulipiftide (BRM421; BRIM Biotechnology) is a synthetic analogue of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF). The peptide induces regenerative effects (via ERK2 and STAT3 signalling) and has anti-inflammatory activity. It has been used in the study of tendon repair [3], but has been repurposed for dry eye disease [4] where it is reported to stimulate corneal limbal stem cell proliferation/differentiation and increase mucin secretion from goblet cells. Like full-length PEDF, fulipiftide may act through patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 2 (PNPLA2), which is involved in mitogenic signalling in human embryonic and neural stem cells, and other progenitor cells [1-2,5].
