Aclerastide (DSC-127) is an angiotensin receptor agonist. Aclerastide also is a peptide analog of angiotensin II. Aclerastide can be used for the research of tissue regeneration in diabetic ulcers.
Aclerastide (0.1 mg/wound; day for 5 days) shows superior efficacy in the db/db mouse model of wound healing[1].
Aclerastide (topically administered; 100 μL; once a day; for 14 days) elevates levels of reactive oxygen species and of active MMP-9[2].
