Results from this study5

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone5

In this study, Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) 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 Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil).

    Summary
    Compound 43 was also found to be active as a bronchodilator in vivo in guinea pigs, with slightly over 2-fold enhanced potency and a significantly longer duration of action (> 20 min) when compared to the parent compound (5 min).

    Several Boc-substituted-phenylalanine derivatives were prepared and incorporated into VIP analogs as replacement for tyrosine22. These analogs, of the form Ac-[Lys12,Nle17,X22,Val26,Thr28]-VIP, were assayed as smooth muscle relaxants and found to be full agonists of native VIP.

    In this study, Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) 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 Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil).
