LXW7 TFA, a cyclic peptide containing Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), is an integrin αvβ3 inhibitor with an anti-inflammatory effect. LXW7 has a high binding affinity to αvβ3 integrin (IC50: 0.68 μM). It increases the phosphorylation of VEGFR-2 and activation of ERK1/2.

LXW7 specially binds to αvβ3 integrin (Kd: 76 nM). LXW7 binds strongly to αvβ3-K562 cells, weakly to αvβ5-K562 cells and αIIbβ3-K562 cells, and no binding to K562 cells. LXW7 has great potential as a highly efficient peptide ligand for targeted imaging and drug delivery [1]. LXW7 acts as potent and specific endothelial progenitor cells and endothelial cells targeting ligand [2].

LXW7 (100 μg/kg; intravenous injection) significantly lowers infarct volumes and brain water content (BWC) LXW7-treated rats. The LXW7 treatment lowers the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines[3].
