Product Description
Astressin 2B is a potent and specific corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2 (CRF2) antagonist (inhibitor) with IC50s of 1.3 and >500 nM for CRF2 and CRF1, respectively. Astressin 2B antagonizes CRF2-mediated inhibition of gastric emptying.
Astressin 2B (CAS#: 681260-70-8) is a potent and selective peptide antagonist of the corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2 (CRF2). It has IC50 values of 1.3 nM for CRF2 and >500 nM for CRF1, demonstrating high selectivity for the CRF2 receptor. Astressin 2B has a molecular formula of C183H307N49O53 and a molecular weight of 4041.69. It antagonizes CRF2-mediated inhibition of gastric emptying. The compound is a research tool for studying the physiological and pathological roles of CRF2 in stress responses, anxiety, depression, and gastrointestinal function.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Astressin 2B is the CRF2 receptor (corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2). CRF2 is a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the effects of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and related peptides. Astressin 2B is a potent and selective antagonist of CRF2, with an IC50 of 1.3 nM. It has low affinity for the CRF1 receptor (IC50 >500 nM), demonstrating high selectivity.
ln Vitro
Astressin 2B is a potent and selective CRF2 antagonist with an IC50 of 1.3 nM for CRF2 and >500 nM for CRF1. It antagonizes CRF2-mediated inhibition of gastric emptying. The compound's high selectivity for CRF2 over CRF1 makes it a valuable tool for studying CRF2-specific functions. It is supplied as a peptide with a purity of >98% and is soluble in water at 1 mg/mL.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Astressin 2B is used to study the physiological and pathological roles of CRF2. By antagonizing CRF2, it can modulate stress responses, anxiety, depression, and gastrointestinal function. It has been shown to antagonize CRF2-mediated inhibition of gastric emptying. Its efficacy would be assessed in animal models of stress-related disorders and gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro binding and functional assays for Astressin 2B are used to characterize its affinity for CRF2 and CRF1. Radioligand binding assays are performed using membranes from cells expressing CRF2 or CRF1, and the compound's ability to displace a labeled CRF ligand is measured. Functional assays measuring CRF2-mediated signaling (e.g., cAMP accumulation) are used to confirm antagonistic activity. The reported IC50 values are 1.3 nM for CRF2 and >500 nM for CRF1.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Astressin 2B involve treating CRF2-expressing cells with the compound and measuring inhibition of CRF-induced signaling. Readouts include inhibition of cAMP accumulation or other downstream signaling pathways. The compound's ability to block CRF2-mediated effects confirms its antagonistic activity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies with Astressin 2B are performed in animal models to investigate CRF2 function. The compound is typically administered via injection. Its effects on stress responses, anxiety-like behavior, depression-like behavior, and gastrointestinal function are assessed. For example, its ability to antagonize CRF2-mediated inhibition of gastric emptying can be evaluated.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Astressin 2B is a peptide with a molecular weight of 4041.69 and a molecular formula of C183H307N49O53. It is a potent and selective CRF2 antagonist with IC50 values of 1.3 nM for CRF2 and >500 nM for CRF1. The compound is supplied as a peptide with a purity of >98% and is soluble in water at 1 mg/mL. It should be stored under recommended conditions. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data is available for Astressin 2B in the provided literature. As a research peptide, its safety profile would be an important consideration for in vivo applications. Potential toxicities could be related to its effects on CRF2-mediated stress responses and gastrointestinal function. Standard preclinical safety studies would be required to evaluate its safety for potential therapeutic applications. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.

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.
