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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) 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 Thymosin beta-4 (human).

  1. 01LabNot a test of Thymosin beta-4 (human) aloneIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In H9C2 cardiomyocytes, thymosin beta‑4 boron cluster conjugates retained or improved the prosurvival activity of thymosin beta‑4.

    In plain wordsIn heart muscle cells, thymosin beta‑4 linked to boron clusters kept or improved its pro-survival effect.

    Summary
    We obtained conjugates with dramatically different stabilities (τ1/2 from 3-836 h (Tβ4-[B12H12]2- conjugates) and 9-1329 h (Tβ4-[COSAN]- conjugates)) while retaining or improving the prosurvival activity of Tβ4 toward cardiomyocytes (H9C2 cell line).

    In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) 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 Thymosin beta-4 (human).

    Thymosin beta‑4 conjugates with the dodecaborate anion had very different stabilities, with half-lives from 3 to 836 h.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, thymosin beta‑4 linked to a boron cluster broke down at very different speeds depending on the link site.

    Summary · context
    The ester bonds in the conjugates undergo hydrolysis at different rates depending on the site of the modification.

    In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) 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 Thymosin beta-4 (human).
