Azurin (50-77) is a peptide fragment of the copper-containing bacterial protein azurin, which is found in P. aeruginosa, and has cell cycle arrest, cancer proliferation, and angiogenesis-regulating activities.1,2 It is an inhibitor of VEGFR2 (IC20 = ~10.7 µM).2 Azurin (50-77) (20 µM) induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It reduces MCF-7 and ZR-75-1 breast cancer cell proliferation when used at a concentration of 50 µM. Azurin (50-77) reduces VEGF-A-induced capillary tube formation (IC50 = 12 µM), as well as decreases cell membrane-associated levels of F-actin, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and paxillin and increases extracellular levels of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at a concentration of 25 µM.2 In vivo, azurin (50-77) (10 mg/kg per day) reduces tumor volume in an MCF-7 mouse xenograft model.1
WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
1. A peptide fragment of azurin induces a p53-
2. A cell penetrating peptide derived from azurin inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth by inhibiting phosphorylation of VEGFR-
