Product Description

Capromorelin, formerly known as CP-424,391, is a growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin mimetic ( hGHS-R1a K(i)=7 nM, rat pituicyte EC(50)=3 nM). Preliminary research has demonstrated that the medication directly increases growth hormone and insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Capromorelin demonstrated improved pharmacokinetic characteristics, such as high bioavailabilities in two animal species [F(rat)=65%, F(dog)=44%], and improved intestinal absorption in rodent models. In canine models, this short-duration GHS was orally bioavailable, and it was chosen as a development candidate for the management of musculoskeletal frailty in the elderly.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
hGHS-R1a ( Ki = 7 nM )
ln Vitro
Capromorelin induces the release of growth hormone in rat pituitary cell cultures with EC50 of 3 nM[2].
ln Vivo
The food consumption of dogs treated with capromorelin (30 mg/mL) is significantly higher than that of dogs treated with a placebo. More than the placebo group, all dogs in the capromorelin group gained weight by 0.52 kg[1]. In rodent models, capromolelin demonstrates improved intestinal absorption and superior pharmacoKinetic characteristics, such as high bioavailabilities in two animal species [F(dog)=44%, F(rat)=65%]. Reference [2]. With an ED50 of 0.05 mg/kg iv, capromolelin stimulates the release of growth hormone in a model of anesthetized rats[2].
Enzyme Assay
The human GHS-R1a receptor cDNA in the plasmid pcDNA3.1neo is transfected into HEK293 cells (ATCC) to produce membranes. Competition radioligand binding assays are run in 96-well format using GF/C filters that have been pre-soaked in 0.3% polyethyleneimine. Tests are run in duplicate at room temperature for one hour, employing 50 pM [125I]-ghrelin and 1 μg membrane per well in 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.2% bovine serum albumin, and the subsequent protease inhibitors: 100 μg/mL benzamidine, 100 μg/mL bacitracin, 5 μg/mL aprotinin, and 5 μg/mL leupeptin. After harvesting the membranes, they are rinsed three times in an ice-cold buffer that has pH 7.4, 50 mM HEPES, and 10 mM MgCl2. Prism by GraphpadTM is used to calculate the IC50 and Ki values. It is determined that the Kd of [125I]-ghrelin at membranes expressing human GHS receptors is 0.2 nM.
Animal Protocol
The study evaluated a flavored oral solution containing 30 mg/mL of capromorelin in comparison to a matched placebo-flavored oral solution treatment that was given for four days and contained all the formulation's ingredients but no capromorelin. Two groups of dogs are randomly assigned; Group 1 receives a placebo (0.1 mL/kg), while Group 2 receives 3.0 mg/kg. Each day, at around nine in the morning, both groups receive the same treatment. Day 0 is the first day of medication. A syringe inserted into the mouth's corner is used to administer both the test medication and the placebo. When calculating doses, the Day 0 weight is utilized.

*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
