Product Description
Octaarginine acetate is a cell-penetrating peptide and proteasome inhibitor. Octaarginine acetate exhibits mixed inhibitory effects on the 20S proteasome's chymotrypsin-like, caspase-like, and trypsin-like activities, but its inhibitory efficiency on the 26S proteasome is lower. Octaarginine acetate can induce the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, mediate heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG)-dependent endocytosis via macropinocytosis, and enhance liposome uptake and gene delivery. Octaarginine acetate can be used in research on cervical cancer, collagen antibody-induced arthritis, and bacterial infections.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Acetyl octaarginine strongly inhibited the chymotrypsin-like activity and caspase-like activity of purified rat skeletal muscle 20S proteasome, with IC50 values of 100 nM and 200 nM, respectively, and had a weak inhibitory effect on trypsin-like activity; this inhibitory activity remained stable at physiological saline concentrations [1]. Acetyl octaarginine (maximum concentration 8 μM; action time 5-30 minutes) inhibited the activity of purified human erythrocyte 26S proteasome and 20S/PA28 proteasome complex, but its inhibitory efficiency was lower than that of isolated 20S proteasome [1]. Acetyl octaarginine (concentration 30-60 μM; action time 2 hours) inhibited the chymotrypsin-like activity and caspase-like activity of proteasome in cultured HeLa cells, leading to the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, but had no significant effect on trypsin-like activity [1]. Free octarginine peptides can efficiently deliver proteins, peptides and plasmid DNA into cultured cells. Stearylation at the R8 position significantly improves the transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA, making it comparable to that of Lipofectamine [2]. Acetyl octarginine (3.9-7.9 nmol; 16 h) inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. At a concentration of 7.9 nmol (incubation for 16 h), the bacterial survival rate drops to 60%, and at a concentration of 3.9 nmol (incubation for 16 h), the bacterial survival rate drops to 40% [4]. Acetyl octarginine can cause cell membrane damage and increased permeability in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus [4]. Acetyl octarginine (5-30 nmol; 24 h) inhibits the growth of HeLa human cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. At a concentration of 15 nmol (incubation for 24 h), the inhibition rate can reach up to 49% [4].
ln Vivo
Rhodamine-labeled octargine (R8) (20 μL, 0.1 mM; intra-articular injection; single dose) showed the highest articular cartilage matrix binding efficiency among the polyarginine peptides tested [3]. Rhodamine-labeled octargine (R8) (20 μL, 0.1 mM; intra-articular injection; single dose) significantly reduced the accumulation of rhodamine in degenerated articular cartilage in CAIA mice, reflecting the loss of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans [3].

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
