Complement System

The complement system, composed of more than 30 serum and cell surface components, is collaborating in recognition and elimination of pathogens as a part of both the innate and acquired immune systems. Once the complement system is activated, a chain of reactions involving proteolysis and assembly occurs, resulting in cleavage of the third complement component (C3). The cascade up to C3 cleavage is called the activation pathway. There are three activation pathways: the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways.

The complement cascade is a dual-edged sword, causing protection against bacterial and viral invasion by promoting phagocytosis and inflammation. Pathologically, complement can cause substantial damage to blood vessels (vasculitis), kidney basement membrane and attached endothelial and epithelial cells (nephritis), joint synovium (arthritis), and erythrocytes (hemolysis) if it is not adequately controlled.

    Claseprubart
    Inhibitor
    Claseprubart is a monoclonal antibody targeting human complement C1s. Claseprubart specifically binds to complement C1s to inhibit the activation of the complement system, exerting immunosuppressive activity. Claseprubart is promising for research of autoimmune diseases and inflammation-related diseases.

  • HY-14648S1
    Dexamethasone-d5-1
    Inhibitor
    Dexamethasone-d5-1 is deuterium labeled Dexamethasone. Dexamethasone (Hexadecadrol) is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. Dexamethasone also significantly decreases CD11b, CD18, and CD62L expression on neutrophils, and CD11b and CD18 expression on monocytes. Dexamethasone is highly effective in the control of COVID-19 infection. Dexamethasone inhibits production of exosomes containing inflammatory microRNA-155 in lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage inflammatory responses.

    Avacopan (Standard)
    Inhibitor
    Avacopan (Standard) is the analytical standard of Avacopan. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Avacopan (CCX168) is a potent, selective and orally available complement 5a receptor (C5aR) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.1 nM.

  • HY-P10639A
    C5aR2 agonist P32 acetate
    Agonist
    C5aR2 agonist P32 (Ac-RHYPYWR-OH) acetate is a C5aR2-selective agonist. C5aR2 agonist P32 acetate has been shown to elicit multiple immunomodulatory activities, both by down-regulating the C5aR1-mediated cell signalling, and acting in a C5aR1-independent fashion, in vitro and in vivo.

    Zilucoplan (PEG2)
    Inhibitor
    Zilucoplan (PEG2) is a Zilucoplan (HY-P3502) derivative, where the linker section replaces PEG24 by PEG2. Zilucoplan is a potent complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor.

    4-Octylphenol
    Activator
    4-Octylphenol is a hormone disruptor that has gender-specific effects on male reproductive cells, significantly reducing the mitotic index and the number of spermatogonia. 4-Octylphenol can cause inflammatory damage to fish gills by activating the complement system through the C3a/C3aR axis and the C5a/C5aR1 axis, this leads to complement activation and causes immune suppression due to the imbalance between Th1/Th2 cells and regulatory T cells (Treg)/Th17 cells, as well as inflammatory damage via the Toll-like receptor 7 (Toll-like Receptor (TLR))/IκBα/NF-κB pathway.

    Lanoracopan
    Inhibitor
    Factor B-IN-5 (Example 5 target compound) is a potent complement factor B inhibitor, with an IC50 of 1.2 μM. Factor B-IN-5 can be used for the research of diseases related to inflammation and immunity.

    CP-289,503
    Inhibitor
    CP-289,503 is an inhibitor of the complement C5a receptor with an IC50 of 1 μM. C5a acts as an activator of leukocytes and phagocytes during complement system activation. The C5a receptor can bind to C5a, which can stimulate the upregulation of cell surface integrins and degranulation of inflammatory cells, leading to endothelial cell damage. C5a receptor inhibitors can block C5a signaling and inhibit a variety of inflammatory diseases.
