CTCE-0214

CTCE-0214 is a chemokine CXC receptor 4 (CXCR4) agonist, SDF-1α (stromal cell-derived factor-1α) peptide analog. CTCE-0214 shows anti-inflammatory activity, and can be used in inflammation sepsis and systemic inflammatory syndromes research.

CTCE-0214 (0.01-0.1 ng/mL; 4 d) increases the expansion of CD34+ cells subsets^[3].

CTCE-0214 (intravenous injection; 1-25 mg/kg; once) treatment inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-induced plasma TNF-α production^[1].
CTCE-0214 (intraperitoneal injection and intravenous injection; 25 mg/kg; once) decreases Zymosan-induced plasma TNF-α production^[1].
