  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Pharmacokinetics

    In rats, intravenously injected tritiated MIF‑1 had a short blood disappearance half-time but persisted longer than Tyr-MIF‑1.

    Summary
    Intravenous injection of the tritiated peptides into rats showed short half-time disappearances; again, MIF-1 persisted in blood longer than Tyr-MIF-1.
  2. 02LabIn vitro (cell-free)Pharmacokinetics

    In rat plasma, tritiated MIF‑1 persisted slightly longer than Tyr-MIF‑1, but more than half degraded within 5 min.

    Summary
    In rat plasma, more than half of the intact Tyr-MIF-1 and MIF-1 was degraded within 5 min, in contrast to the 5 days required for 50% degradation of MIF-1 in human plasma at 37 degrees.

    Summary · context
    Degradation of Tyr-MIF-1 was rapid in the plasma from both species, in contrast to the slightly delayed degradation of MIF-1 in rat plasma and the extremely prolonged persistence of MIF-1 in human plasma.
  3. 03LabIn vitro (cell-free)Pharmacokinetics

    In human plasma, tritiated MIF‑1 required 5 days for 50% degradation at 37 degrees, showing prolonged persistence.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, labeled MIF‑1 persisted much longer in human plasma than Tyr-MIF‑1 or MIF‑1 in rat plasma.

    Summary

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, MIF-1 (Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking MIF-1 (Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2).

  1. 04LabNot a test of MIF-1 (Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) aloneIn vitro (cell-free)Pharmacokinetics

    In plasma incubation, Tyr-Pro rather than MIF‑1 was the predominant degradation product of tritiated Tyr-MIF‑1.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, labeled Tyr-MIF‑1 mainly formed Tyr-Pro rather than MIF‑1.

    Summary
    Incubation of Tyr-MIF-1 tritiated at the Pro under the same conditions with and without Tyr-MIF-1 tritiated at the Tyr showed that Tyr-Pro, not MIF-1, was the predominant degradation product of Tyr-MIF-1.

    In this study, MIF-1 (Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking MIF-1 (Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2).
