AI Technical Summary
There are few existing drugs for treating radiation enteritis, and most of them can only play an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial role, but cannot fundamentally treat radiation-induced intestinal damage, and have poor specificity.
Verucopeptin, a V-type ATPase inhibitor, is used to treat radiation enteritis by targeting the ATP6V1G subunit of v-ATPase and strongly inhibiting v-ATPase activity. It is administered via intravenous injection.
Verucopeptin significantly reduced irradiation-induced intestinal damage, improved the intestinal microenvironment, promoted small intestinal tissue repair, increased mouse survival rate, and reduced the intestinal damage index.
