cis-Urocanic acid 是一种 5-HT2A 受体激动剂。cis-Urocanic acid 以较高亲和力与 5-HT 受体结合，Kd 为 4.6 nM。cis-Urocanic acid 是一种免疫调节剂，通过与 5-HT2A 受体结合而诱导免疫抑制。
cis-Urocanic acid is a 5-HT2A receptor agonist. cis-Urocanic acid binds to 5-HT receptor with relatively high affinity (Kd=4.6 nM). cis-Urocanic acid is an immune modulator that induces immunosuppression by binding to the 5-HT2A receptor[1].
Treatment with 100 μg/mL cis-Urocanic acid (cis-UCA) completely suppresses IL-6 and IL-8 secretion, decreases caspase-3 activity, and improves cell viability against UV-B irradiation. No significant effects on IL-6 or IL-8 secretion, caspase-3 activity, or viability of the non-irradiated cells are observed with 100 μg/mL cis-Urocanic acid in both cell types. The 5000 μg/mL concentration is toxic[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: Human corneal epithelial cells (HCE-2) and human conjunctival epithelial cells (HCECs)
