Product Description
Galantide is a special galanin receptor blocker (antagonist). It is a bioactive peptide composed of galanin and substance P fragments. It can recognize two types of galanin binding sites in the rat hypothalamus ( KD less than 0.1 nM and ~6 nM) respectively. Galantide concentration-dependently (IC50=1.0 nM) antagonizes galanin-mediated inhibition of glucose-induced insulin secretion in mouse islets. Galantide appears to bind to a single population of SP receptors (KD ~40 nM).
Galantide is a synthetic peptide and a non-specific antagonist of the galanin receptor. It is a chimeric peptide composed of fragments of galanin and substance P. Galantide acts as a reversible antagonist of galanin receptors. It recognizes two classes of galanin binding sites in the rat hypothalamus with KD values of less than 0.1 nM and approximately 6 nM. Galantide also appears to bind to a single population of substance P (SP) receptors with a KD of approximately 40 nM. The compound does not activate the K+ conductance but produces a concentration-dependent antagonism of the galanin-induced increase in K+ conductance. Galantide is used in research to study the role of galanin in various physiological and pathological processes, including neuroendocrine function, pain modulation, and neurological disorders. It is a valuable tool for probing galanin receptor function and for developing potential therapeutic agents targeting the galanin system.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Galanin receptors (galanin receptor 1, 2, and 3) and substance P (SP) receptors (NK1 receptor).
ln Vitro
While galanide does not directly enhance K+ conductance, it does oppose the concentration-dependent rise in K+ conductance that galanin causes (IC50=4 nM). IBa, the voltage-dependent Ba2+ current, is inhibited by galandide, which functions similarly to galanin. Gallantide produces a maximal inhibition of roughly 40% of IBa, which is also concentration-dependent (IC50=16 nM) [3].
Galantide recognizes two classes of galanin binding sites in the rat hypothalamus with KD values of less than 0.1 nM and approximately 6 nM. It also binds to a single population of substance P (SP) receptors with a KD of approximately 40 nM. Galantide displaces 125I-monoiodo-[Tyr26]galanin from membranes of insulin-producing Rin m 5F cells with an IC50 of less than 0.1 nM. It does not activate the K+ conductance but produces a concentration-dependent antagonism of the galanin-induced increase in K+ conductance with an IC50 of 4 nM. Galantide also inhibits the voltage-dependent Ba2+ current (IBa) in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 16 nM.
ln Vivo
In experienced male rats, intracerebroventricular injection of galanin (5 μg/rat) inhibited sexual behavior without causing any other motor or behavioral deficits. Similarly, injection of the galanin antagonist galanide (1 or 2 micrograms/rat) can both stimulate and counteract the effects of galanin on sexual behavior, increasing sexual arousal, motivation, and performance indicators [2]. Mild acute pancreatitis is improved by galantide (AP). Galantide can considerably lower AP-induced hyperenzymeemia by 41-49% [3]. When administered at doses ranging from 6–6000 nM, galantide was found to enhance social memory in the "social recognition" test [4].
In vivo, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of galantide (1 or 2 µg/rat) stimulates sexual behavior in experienced male rats, improving arousal, motivation, and performance indexes, and antagonizes the inhibitory effect of galanin on sexual behavior. Galantide ameliorates mild acute pancreatitis (AP) and significantly reduces AP-induced hyperenzymemia by 41-49%. It has been found to improve social memory in the 'social recognition' test when administered i.c.v. at doses ranging from 6-6000 nM. Galantide (5 µg/rat, i.c.v.) has also been shown to inhibit sexual behavior in male rats.
Enzyme Assay
Galanin receptor binding affinity is assessed using in vitro radioligand binding assays with membrane preparations from rat hypothalamus or cells expressing recombinant galanin receptors. Competitive binding with [125I]monoiodo-[Tyr26]galanin is measured. KD and IC50 values are calculated from saturation and displacement curves using nonlinear regression analysis. Substance P receptor binding is assessed using similar assays with [125I]substance P.
Cell Assay
Cellular activity is evaluated in cells expressing galanin receptors, such as insulin-producing Rin m 5F cells. Cells are treated with galantide at various concentrations (typically 0.001-100 µM) and galanin-induced signaling is measured, such as K+ conductance or calcium mobilization. The inhibition of galanin-induced increase in K+ conductance is measured using electrophysiological techniques (patch-clamp). The inhibition of voltage-dependent Ba2+ current (IBa) is also assessed.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies are conducted in rodents (rats, mice). Galantide is dissolved in 0.9% saline and administered via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection. For social recognition tests, the i.c.v. injection is given immediately after removal of the juvenile at the end of the first encounter. Control rats receive an equal volume (4 µL) of saline by the same route. A minimum of 10 adult rats are used for each dose level. For acute pancreatitis models, galantide is prepared in 0.01% bovine serum albumin in saline and administered to mice. Behavioral parameters, biochemical markers (e.g., serum amylase/lipase for pancreatitis), and electrophysiological recordings are measured.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Galantide has a molecular formula of C99H151N27O26S (or similar) and a molecular weight of approximately 2200 g/mol. The sequence is Gly-Trp-Thr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ala-Gly-Tyr-Leu-Leu-Gly-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2. CAS Number: 138579-66-5. The compound should be stored as a powder at -80°C for 2 years or at -20°C for 1 year. In solvent, it can be stored at -80°C for 6 months or at -20°C for 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicological data for galantide are not extensively published. As a research peptide, it should be handled with standard laboratory safety precautions. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications without appropriate regulatory approval. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation.

Additional Infomation
Galantide is a research tool compound for studying galanin receptor biology and neuropeptide signaling. It is not approved for clinical use. The compound is a chimeric peptide consisting of fragments of galanin and substance P, making it a non-specific galanin receptor antagonist. Galantide is used to investigate the role of galanin in neuroendocrine function, pain modulation, appetite regulation, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. Its ability to also bind to substance P receptors adds complexity to its pharmacological profile, making it a valuable tool for studying the interactions between these two neuropeptide systems.
