What is ARA-290?

ARA-290 (cibinetide) is a pioneering compound that separates the tissue-protective effects of erythropoietin from its blood cell-stimulating properties. It activates a distinct receptor complex that promotes repair without the risks associated with EPO use.

Research Applications

Neuropathy research, tissue protection, anti-inflammatory signaling, sarcoidosis, diabetic complications, and innate repair receptor biology.

Dosage Information (Research Use)

Clinical trial doses: 2-4 mg subcutaneously daily or three times weekly. Research use only.

Reconstitution & Handling

Standard BAC water reconstitution.

Half-Life & Pharmacokinetics

Approximately 10-11 minutes. Despite short half-life, tissue-protective effects persist.

Reported Observations in Literature

Well-tolerated in clinical trials. No erythropoietic effects. Mild injection site reactions reported.

How ARA-290 Works

ARA-290 activates the Innate Repair Receptor (IRR), a heterodimer of EPO receptor and beta common receptor. Unlike erythropoietin, it does not stimulate erythropoiesis (red blood cell production). Instead, it triggers tissue-protective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways.

Research Findings

Clinical trials for sarcoidosis-associated neuropathy and diabetic neuropathy have shown improvement in small nerve fiber density. Represents a new class of tissue-protective compounds.

Dosage & Administration

Clinical trial doses: 2-4 mg subcutaneously daily or three times weekly. Research use only.

Safety & Side Effects

Well-tolerated in clinical trials. No erythropoietic effects. Mild injection site reactions reported.

Important: All safety information is derived from published research, primarily animal studies. No controlled human clinical trial data exists unless explicitly noted. This compound is sold for research purposes only.
