| Description | Candidalysin is a cytolytic peptide toxin secreted by the fungus Candida albicans. Candidalysin drives epithelial immune responses by activating the EGFR-MAPK signaling pathway, inducing MMP expression and calcium influx, and regulating the c-Fos transcription factor and MKP1 via p38 MAPK and ERK1/2Candidalysin is a cytolytic peptide toxin secreted by the fungus Candida albicans. Candidalysin drives epithelial immune responses by activating the EGFR-MAPK signaling pathway, inducing MMP expression and calcium influx, and regulating the c-Fos transcription factor and MKP1 via p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 respectively. Candidalysin is essential for mucosal and systemic infections, activating NLRP3 to promote inflammatory responses, neutrophil recruitment, and Th17 immunity. Candidalysin activates LDH causing membrane damage and exhibiting cytotoxicity[1][2][3][4]... Read More | Chymostatin is a SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitor. Chymostatin up-regulates endocan and inhibits NF-κBp65 activity. Chymostatin reduces proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) and HMGB1. Chymostatin shows protective effects against Paraquat-induced acute lung injury. Chymostatin exhibits Chymostatin is a SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitor.
