Substance P CAS NO.12769-48-1
<p>Substance P is a classic 11-amino acid neuropeptide belonging to the tachykinin family, characterized by its amidated C-terminus which is essential for its high biological activity. It is a key neurotransmitter and neuromodulator widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, functioning as a primary mediator of pain perception, neurogenic inflammation, and various neuroimmune responses…

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION
The peptide exerts its biological effects primarily by binding with high affinity to the G protein-coupled neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R). This activates the Gq/11 pathway, stimulating phospholipase C to produce inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol, leading to a rapid increase in intracellular calcium levels. This signaling cascade triggers neurotransmitter release, smooth muscle contraction, vasodilation, and promotes inflammatory mediator production, thereby mediating its roles in pain transmission, inflammation, and visceral functions.
2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS
Substance P is indicated for a wide range of research applications, including studies of nociception and chronic pain pathways, neurogenic inflammation, migraine pathophysiology, and the brain-gut axis. It is used in vitro for receptor binding and calcium mobilization assays, and in vivo to model inflammatory and pain conditions, investigate anxiety and stress responses, and study the role of neuropeptides in conditions like depression, irritable bowel syndrome, and asthma.
3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT
While Substance P itself is not a therapeutic agent, its receptor, NK1R, is a validated clinical target. NK1 receptor antagonists, such as aprepitant, are approved and clinically effective for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Furthermore, extensive research into Substance P pathways has informed the development of investigational therapies for migraine, depression, and chronic pain, though direct infusion of Substance P has shown limited and mixed results in early clinical trials for disorders like major depression.
