A study of antitumor properties of HLDF-6 was carried out in DBA/2 mice with transplantable ascites lympholeukemia P-388 as well as in tumor cell culture. Immunomodulating characteristics were evaluated. Five-fold administration of HLDF-6 peptide to tumor-bearing mice inhibited tumor growth thus extending survival. As a result metabolic activity decreased which was followed by longer survival of lympholeukemia P-388 cells and enhanced cytological effect of peritoneal macrophages on tumor cells of the same strain.

The mechanisms of the neuroprotective action of the hexapeptides HLDF-6 encoded by the amino acid sequence 41-46 of Human Leukemia Differentiation Factor and its homoserine derivative HLDF-6H were studied in an experimental 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced model of Parkinson's disease (PD). C57Bl/6 mice received two intraperitoneal injections of 18 mg/kg MPTP-HCl, with an interval of 2 hours. MPTP-induced motor dysfunction was assessed using horizontal grid test.

Emerging new therapy for the treatment of these age-related pathologies in men is the use of the regulatory peptides. We validated the use of HLDF-6-amide (Thr-Gly-Glu-Hse-His-Arg-NH2) as a potential modulator of sexual performance in aged male rats.

The neuroprotective and nootropic activities of the amide form (AF) of the HLDF-6 peptide (TGENHR-NH) were studied in transgenic mice of the B6C3-Tg(APPswe,PSEN1de9)85Dbo (Tg+) line (the animal model of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD)). The study was performed in 4 mouse groups: group 1 (study group): Tg+ mice intranasally injected with the peptide at a dose of 250 μg/kg; group 2 (active control): Tg+ mice intranasally injected with normal saline; group 3 (control 1): Tg- mice; and group 4 (control 2): C57Bl/6 mice. The cognitive functions were evaluated using three tests: the novel object recognition test, the conditioned passive avoidance task, and the Morris water maze.

We studied the effects of peptide drugs (HLDF-6, PGP, RPGP, and PGLP) and peptide pharmaceutical products (Semax, Selank, and thyroliberin) on proliferation and survival of mouse embryonic stem cells and their derivatives. Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into neuronal precursors was evaluated. PGP and PGLP in concentrations of 10 and 0.
