    Mechanism

    PNC-27 is a 32-amino-acid chimeric peptide that fuses the HDM-2 (MDM2)-binding domain of p53 - residues 12-26 (PPLSQETFSDLWKLL) - to a C-terminal membrane-residency / penetratin-derived leader sequence. Cancer cells aberrantly express HDM-2 protein on their plasma-membrane surfac

    Overview

    PNC-27 is a p53-derived peptide that selectively induces membranolysis in cancer cells. It contains the p53 transactivation domain (amino acids 17–26) linked to a membrane-penetrating transmembrane domain (HDM2 binding domain). Uniquely, PNC-27 kills cancer cells by binding to HDM2 protein on the cancer cell membrane surface — where HDM2 (the p53 negative regulator) is aberrantly expressed — creating pores in the cancer cell plasma membrane. Normal cells, which do not express surface HDM2, are spared. This selectivity distinguishes PNC-27 from most cytotoxic compounds. Published research comes primarily from Sarafraz-Yazdi et al. and has demonstrated selective pancreatic cancer, leukemia, and breast cancer cell kill in vitro. PNC-27 remains preclinical with no clinical trials completed.

    B7-33

    OtherPreclinical

    B7-33 is a single-chain, 26-amino-acid peptide engineered as a functionally selective agonist of the relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1), designed to recapitulate the therapeutic activity of human H2 relaxin — the endogenous peptide hormone that is naturally elevated during pregnancy and has broad cardioprotective, vasodilatory, and anti-fibrotic effects.

    t½ In vitro serum-stability half-life is approximately 6 minutes; B7-33 is rapidly degraded (a lipidated analog extended this to ~60 minutes in the same assay). Human in vivo pharmacokinetics are unpublished, and rapid clearance is expected for a small linear peptide (Praveen et al. 2023, PMID 37047588). 500-4000 mcg subcutaneous per injection (community/self-report research doses; most commonly ~1000 mcg / 1 mg once daily). No validated human dose exists - all figures are empirical extrapolations from rodent pharmacology.
