Ac-SDKP

Ac-SDKP

Also known as: Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment Ac-SDKP, Goralatide, Seraspenide

Overview

Key Facts

Primary Goal: Research and therapeutic applications of Ac-SDKP

Inhibits TGF-β/Smad signaling to prevent fibrosis. Blocks connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression.

Dosing Information

Half-Life

~5 minutes (rapidly cleaved by ACE)

Typical Dose

100–400 mcg

Frequency

1x daily

Cycle Length

4-8 weeks

Administration Routes:
subcutaneousintravenous

Benefits

  • Potent antifibrotic effects in heart, kidney, and liver
  • Inhibits collagen deposition in fibrotic tissue
  • Anti-inflammatory properties
  • Regulates hematopoietic stem cell proliferation
  • Cardioprotective effects post-myocardial infarction

Side Effects

Injection site irritation (mild)mild
Transient hypotension (rare)mild
Mild dizzinessmild

Mechanism of Action

1

Inhibits TGF-β/Smad signaling to prevent fibrosis

2

Blocks connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression

3

Reduces inflammatory cell infiltration in damaged tissues

4

Prevents epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)

5

Endogenously maintained by ACE inhibitor therapy (elevated in ACEi users)

Contraindications

Do not use this peptide if any of the following apply:

  • Concurrent ACE inhibitor use (synergistic elevation may be excessive)
  • Severe hypotension
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Active bleeding disorders

Storage & Reconstitution

Unreconstituted (Powder)

Temperature2–8°C (36–46°F) or -20°C (-4°F) for long-term
DurationUp to 3 months

Reconstituted (Mixed)

Temperature2–8°C (36–46°F)
Duration2-4 weeks

Research Summary

Preclinical

Studied extensively in animal models of cardiac, renal, and hepatic fibrosis with consistent antifibrotic results. Its role as the endogenous substrate of ACE partly explains the antifibrotic benefits of ACE inhibitors. Phase 1 human data exists from hematopoietic studies (Goralatide/Seraspenide).
