It has undergone numerous human clinical trials (Phase I/II) but has not pursued further regulatory development
Mitochondrial Respiration and Hypoxia Protection The 2003 study by Khvatova, Samartzev, Zagoskin, Prudchenko, and Mikhaleva published in Peptides confirmed that DSIP significantly increased ADP-stimulated mitochondrial respiration in rat brain mitochondria under experimental hypoxia conditions establishing a direct mitochondrial respiratory mechanism for DSIPs stress-protective potency and linking DSIP biology to the emerging field of mitochondria-targeted neuroprotective peptides
Other studies have reported that angiotensin II (Ang II) can accelerate cancer cell progression and metastasis
