Талтирелин CAS:103300-74-9

Талтирелин (marketed under the tradename Ceredist) is a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) аналогов, which mimics the physiological actions of TRH, but with a much longer half-life and duration of effects,and little development of tolerance following prolonged dosing.It has nootropic,neuroprotective and analgesic effects.

Taltirelin is primarily being researched for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia; limited research has also been carried out with regard to other neurodegenerative disorders

Талтирелин (TAL) is a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analog that is approved for use in humans in Japan. In this study, we characterized TAL binding to and signaling by the human TRH receptor (TRH-R) in a model cell system. We found that TAL exhibited lower binding affinities than TRH and lower signaling potency via the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate/calcium pathway than TRH. Въпреки това, TAL exhibited higher intrinsic efficacy than TRH in stimulating inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate second messenger generation. This is the first study that elucidates the pharmacology of TAL at TRH-R and shows that TAL is a superagonist at TRH-R. We suggest the superagonism exhibited by TAL may in part explain its higher activity in mediating central nervous system effects in humans compared to TRH.
