However, in practice, doseresponse patterns are significantly complicated due to many other interactions with (i) multiple targets (receptors) of different affinities to the active compound, (ii) other regulatory proteins or mediators in the networks involved in the adaptive stress response, (iii) feedback down regulations in the molecular signaling pathways, and/or (iv) metabolic transformation of active ligands into metabolites, a secondary ligand, which have different affinities to various receptors of the adaptive stress response [69]
The differing toxicities of ionizable organic compounds at different pH values can be attributed to the distinct permeabilities of the existing species (i.e., neutral and ionized forms) because neutral species can permeate biomembranes and become trapped in cells faster than the corresponding charged species, resulting in distinct differences in the internal concentrations
We also utilize all available delivery routes: injections (joint, tendon, IV, intranasal, intrathecal, intratympanic), depending on the peptide and condition
