Product Description
Relamorelin (RM-131) TFA, a auxin analog, is a selective ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) agonist/activator with a Ki of 0.42 for the GHS-1a receptor. nM. Relamorelin TFA is a pentapeptide with centrally penetrating properties. Relamorelin TFA increases growth hormone levels and accelerates gastric emptying, with potential for research into cachexia, gastroparesis, and gastric/intestinal motility disorders.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ki: 0.42 nM (GHS-1a)[1]
ln Vitro
The affinity of relamorelin (RM-131) TFA for GHS-1a is almost three times higher than that of native ghrelin (Ki=1.12 nM; Ki=0.42 nM). In vitro calcium mobilization testing revealed that relamorelin TFA is six times more effective (EC50=0.71 nM) than native ghrelin (EC50=4.2 nM) at activating the GHS -1a receptor[1].
ln Vivo
Body mass and fat mass loss are lessened by relamorelin (RM-131; 50–500 nmol/kg/day; sc; continuous infusion for 5 days) TFA. Rats given relamorelin (500 nmol/kg/day; continuous infusion for 5 days) TFA eat more and gain more weight[1]. A single SC dose of RM-131 (250–500 nmol/kg) TFA increases acute food intake in wt mice, but not in GHR-KO mice.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: F344/NTacfBR male rats implanted with tumor[1]
Doses: 50, 500 nmol/kg/day
Route of Administration: SC; continuous infusion at a rate of 0.5 μL/h for 5 d
Experimental Results: Resulted in an increase in food intake (tumor/saline 41.4 g, tumor/BIM-28131 72.5 g) and weight gain (tumor/saline -10.3%, tumor/BIM-28131 +19.5%).

10 mM 0.1105 mL 0.5525 mL 1.1050 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

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.
