Product Description

Compstatin is a novel and potent 13-residue cyclic peptide acting as a potent inhibitor of the complement system C3 with species specificity. Compstatin binds to baboon C3 and is resistant to proteolytic cleavage in baboon blood (similar to humans).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Comprestatin in human blood has an in vitro half-life of roughly two hours [2]. Comprestatin creates pearl clusters in solution when it rotates β on the Gln-5-Gly-8 residue with the disulfide bridge Cys-2-Cys12, residues Ile-1-Val-4 and Thr-13 [3].
ln Vivo
When compstatin (21 mg/kg) was administered as a combination bolus and infusion medication, total suppression was seen. Compstatin fully prevents heart rate, systemic, central, and pulmonary arterial pressure from being negatively impacted by heparin/protamine-induced complement activation in vivo [1]. In baboons smoking, paroxetine remains constant for almost twenty-four hours [1]. Pig xenografts in the comprestatin-infused group had a substantially longer transitory period than those in the saline group [2].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Juvenile baboons (P. Anubis) weigh 10.5-28.8 kg [1].
Doses: 50, 25 mg/kg, 60 minutes after heparin injection, 2 minutes before protamine injection.
Route of Administration: Push Note.
Experimental Results: Complete inhibition of complement activation induced by heparin-protamine complex.

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 100 mg/mL (64.48 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 0.6448 mL 3.2242 mL 6.4484 mL
5 mM 0.1290 mL 0.6448 mL 1.2897 mL
10 mM 0.0645 mL 0.3224 mL 0.6448 mL

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
