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.
