Product Description

Caerulein (Caerulein; Cerulein; FI-6934) is a novel, potent and specific decapeptide-based cholecystokinin receptor agonist, it is produced in the skin of Hila caerulea, an Australian amphibian. Caerulein and Cholecytokinin function and are composed similarly. It increases the secretion of pancreatic, biliary, and stomach juices as well as some smooth muscle. It is a diagnostic tool for pancreatic dysfunction and for paralytic ileus.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CCK receptor
ln Vitro
CeruLetide chemically and biologically interacts with the human gastrointestinal tract cholecystokinin-cholecystin (CCK) and gastrin II profiles. CeruLetide stimulates gallbladder contractions, extrapancreatic, gastric fluid and motility in the ICU duodenum, jejunum, ileum and sleep, while delaying gastric emptying and inhibiting motility in the proximal duodenum [1]. CeruLetide activates NF-kappaB/Rel in vitro at minimal physiological doses. This activation may induce a genetic program of self-defense before cellular damage occurs, which may terminate the higher degree of damage to pancreatic alveolar cells that occurs after chronic stress overstress [2].
ln Vivo
Ceruletide can be used in animal modeling to construct animal pancreatitis models. CeruLetide (0.4-0.5 μg/kg, intravenous; 3-4 μg/kg, subcutaneous) causes vomiting and defecation in conscious intact dogs 15-30 minutes after intravenous injection and 2-4 hours after full recovery after sc administration. CeruLetide (5-15 ng/kg, iv) exhibits significant spasmogenic effects on the fecal pylorus. CeruLetide also reduces blood sugar in anesthetized dogs [1]. CeruLetide serum bile acid (SBA) stimulation circumvents the exogenous and endogenous effects associated with postprandial (PP) SBA stimulation. CeruLetide SBA stimulation may be as effective as PP SBA stimulation in dogs with cardiac portosystemic shunts (PSS) and may be more sensitive to liver dysfunction in dogs with confirmed respiratory disease (URD) [3].
Animal Protocol
Dogs: Serum bile acid (SBA) stimulation is administered to all dogs using food (<5 kg/body weight [BW] 2 teaspoons, >5 kg BW 2 tablespoons) or Ceruletide IM (0.3 μg/kg BW) on consecutive days. To reduce metabolic complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, a diet high in fiber and moderate in protein is recommended. The dogs fast for twelve hours prior to each test. At baseline, 60 and 120 minutes after feeding, and 20, 30, and 40 minutes after injection, blood samples are taken, in that order. The serum is used to measure SBA by a colorimetric test with endpoint determination after the blood samples are collected in plain tubes and allowed to clot. The samples are then centrifuged at 6,500 ×g for one minute[3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
