Synthetic organic
Comment: Peptide 1 binds to the scavenger receptor CD36 and modulates its activity, as measured by NO production and cholesterol efflux [2].
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
CD36 acts as a coreceptor of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2/6 heterodimer assembly [1]. It has been shown to promote TLR2-dependent macrophage-driven inflammation, via downstream NF-κB activation. Peptide 1 is an azacyclopeptide that binds to CD36 and down-modulates activation of the CD36-TLR2/6-NF-κB pathway. In TLR2 agonist-activated macrophages peptide 1 reduces release of nitric oxide (NO) and proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines which produces an overall anti-inflammatory effect [3]. |
