CompstatinTFA是一个13残基环肽，是补体系统C3的有效抑制剂，具有物种特异性。CompstatinTFA结合到狒狒的C3，并对狒狒血液中的蛋白水解裂解具有抗性（类似人类）。CompstatinTFA只抑制灵长类补体系统的激活。CompstatinTFA对补体经典途径和旁路途径的IC50值分别为63μM和12μM。

Background:

Compstatin TFA, a 13-residue cyclic peptide, is a potent inhibitor of the complement system C3 with species specificity. Compstatin TFA binds to baboon C3 and is resistant to proteolytic cleavage in baboon blood (similar to humans). Compstatin TFA inhibits only the activation of primates' complement system. Compstatin TFA exhibits IC50 values of 63 μM and 12 μM for classical and alterative complement pathway, respectively[1][2][3].

Compstatin exhibits an in vitro half-life in human blood of about 2 hr[2].In solution, compstatin forms a β-turn at residues Gln-5-Gly-8 with the disulfide bridge Cys-2-Cys12, residues Ile-1-Val-4, and Thr-13, forming a hydrophobic cluster[3].

Compstatin (21 mg/kg) produces complete inhibition when given as a combination of bolus injection and infusion. Compstatin completely inhibits in vivo heparin/protamine-induced complement activation without adverse effects on heart rate or systemic arterial, central venous, and pulmonary arterial pressures[1].Compstatin is stable in baboon plasma for more than 24 h[1].Pig xenografts survival is significantly longer in the Compstatin perfused group than in the control group[2]. Animal Model: Juvenile baboons (P. Anubis) weighing 10.5-28.8 kg[1].
