Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION
Crustecdysone (20-Hydroxyecdysone) is a naturally occurring ecdysteroid hormone isolated from Serratula coronata which controls the ecdysis (moulting) and metamorphosis of arthropods, it inhibits caspase activity and induces autophagy via the 20E nuclear receptor complex, EcR-USP[1]. Crustecdysone exhibits regulatory or protective roles in the cardiovascular system[2]. Crustecdysone is an active metabolite of Ecdysone (HY-N0179)[3].
DESCRIPTION
BIO101 is pharmaceutical grade 20-hydroxyecdysone, the latter being a natural product found in the Asparagus filicinus fern, the trematode Trichobilharzia ocellata, and other organisms. Its activity as a non-peptidic activator of the class A orphan GPCR MAS1 has been proposed to offer potential clinical utility to counteract dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure . Given the role of ACE2 in the RAS, and the disturbance of ACE2 function that likely ensues when SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to ACE2, it is feasible that the RAS will be dysregulated in COVID-19, and that ameliorating this disruption through targeted pharmacological intervention might be of potential clinical benefit.
