AC-100 is a novel synthetic peptide derived from an endogenous human protein produced by bone and dental cells (a fragment from matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein). It is being developed by Acologix, Inc.

In several preclinical models, AC-100 has demonstrated potent and selective dental tissue and bone formation activity, however the exact mechanism is not known. One study (PMID:15153459) showed that AC-100 enhances dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) proliferation by down-regulating P16, accompanied by up-regulation of ubiquitin protein ligase E3A and human ubiquitin-related protein SUMO-1. Enhanced cell proliferation required intact RGD and SGDG motifs in the peptide. This study shows that AC-100 can promote DPSC proliferation, with a potential role in pulp repair.
Investigated for use/treatment in periodontal disease.
