Used in research as a stable analog of natural neuropeptides, this compound is designed to resist enzymatic degradation, making it valuable for studying peptide receptor interactions, particularly in the central nervous system. It shows affinity for certain G-protein-coupled receptors involved in regulating immune response and inflammation. Due to its modified structure, including D-amino acids and C-terminal modification, it exhibits enhanced metabolic stability, allowing for prolonged activity in biological assays. It is primarily employed in pharmacological studies to explore signaling pathways related to neuroinflammation, pain modulation, and immune-neural communication. Not intended for therapeutic use, it serves as a tool compound in receptor binding and functional assays.
