Peptide
Comment: Cibinetide (ARA 290) is an engineered peptide that mimics the 3 dimensional structure of the helix B surface domain of erythropoietin (EPO). It is designed to bind selectively to the non-hematopoietic EPO receptor (sometimes referred to as the innate repair receptor or IRR), that is believed to be a heterodimer of EPOR and the cytokine family beta common receptor (βCR, CD131) [1-2]. Non-hematopoietic EPO ligands have potential tissue protective and anti-inflammatory actions [4-6,8-10]. The IRR is suggested to be a point of integration between the immune system and pain signalling (via nociception) [11].
Cibinetide is SEQ ID NO. 282 (and peptide ID) as claimed in patent WO2009094172 [3]. |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
Cibinetide has been shown to reduce immune cell activity and ameliorate pathophysiological symptoms in a mouse model of experimental colitis [7], indicating promise as a novel-disease modifying agent for human inflammatory bowel disease. |
