| Targets |
C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (1-53), human TFA primarily acts through the natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B), also known as NPR2, which is a guanylyl cyclase receptor. Binding of CNP to NPR-B leads to intracellular cGMP production, promoting vasodilation, reducing blood pressure, and exerting anti-fibrotic effects in cardiac and renal fibroblasts. It may also bind to the clearance receptor NPR3.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, CNP (1-53) activates particulate guanylyl cyclase B (pGC-B/NPR-B) in vascular smooth muscle cells, raising intracellular cGMP levels. The native CNP induces cGMP production, and the elongated form CNP-53 is processed to CNP-22. The CNPs share considerable sequence homology with ANP and BNP within the disulfide loop and exert similar pharmacological actions, albeit with different relative potencies.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, CNP (1-53) is used in research to explore its therapeutic potential in cardiovascular diseases, particularly in conditions like heart failure and hypertension. It promotes vasodilation and reduces blood pressure through the NPR-B/cGMP pathway. CNP and its analogs (e.g., C53, a CNP analog) exhibit sustained in vivo activity with anti-fibrotic actions in human cardiac and renal fibroblasts. CNP-53 is the N-terminally elongated form found in brain and tissues.

| Enzyme Assay |
For in vitro enzyme-binding assays (non-cell-based), binding of CNP to NPR-B is typically assessed by measuring cGMP production in membrane preparations. Membranes from NPR-B-expressing cells (e.g., vascular smooth muscle cells or HEK293 cells overexpressing NPR-B) are prepared by homogenization and centrifugation. The membrane fraction (10-50 microg protein) is incubated with varying concentrations of CNP (1-53) (0-1000 nM) in assay buffer containing 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, phosphodiesterase inhibitor) and an ATP-regenerating system (e.g., 1 mM ATP, 5 mM creatine phosphate, 100 U/mL creatine phosphokinase) in a final volume of 100 microL. After incubation at 37degC for 15-30 minutes, the reaction is terminated by adding 50 microL of 0.1 M HCl. cGMP accumulation is measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA) using a commercial kit. The EC50 value is calculated from the dose-response curve. Binding affinity to NPR3 (clearance receptor) can be measured by radioligand binding assays using [¹2⁵I]-CNP as the tracer and membranes from NPR3-expressing cells, as described in the literature (PubMed ID: 11533490).

| Cell Assay |
For cell-based assays, primary human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs) or renal fibroblasts (HRFs) are cultured in 6- or 12-well plates. When cells reach 70-80% confluence, they are serum-starved for 4-6 hours and then treated with CNP (1-53) (0-1000 nM) in the presence of 0.5 mM IBMX for 15-30 minutes at 37degC. After treatment, cells are lysed in 0.1 M HCl, and the lysate is collected. cGMP levels in the lysate are measured by EIA or RIA. For anti-fibrotic activity assays, fibroblasts are treated with transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta, 1-10 ng/mL) in the presence or absence of CNP (1-53) (0-1000 nM) for 24-48 hours. RNA is extracted, and expression of fibrotic markers (collagen I, alpha-SMA, fibronectin) is measured by qRT-PCR. Alternatively, cells are fixed and stained for alpha-SMA to assess myofibroblast differentiation. Cell viability and cytotoxicity are assessed using MTT or LDH assays to ensure CNP does not cause non-specific toxicity. For vascular relaxation assays, isolated rat aortic rings are mounted in a myograph, precontracted with phenylephrine (1 microM), and treated with CNP (1-53) to assess endothelium-independent vasodilation via NPR-B on vascular smooth muscle cells.

| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (1-53), human TFA is typically administered intravenously or by subcutaneous injection to rodents (rats or mice). For blood pressure studies, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350 g) are anesthetized with isoflurane, and a catheter is inserted into the carotid artery for blood pressure monitoring. CNP (1-53) is administered as a bolus injection (e.g., 1-100 microg/kg in 100-200 microL saline) via a jugular vein catheter. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate are recorded continuously for up to 60 minutes post-injection. For anti-fibrosis studies, a mouse model of renal or cardiac fibrosis is used (e.g., unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) or angiotensin II infusion model). CNP (1-53) is administered daily via subcutaneous injection (e.g., 50-200 microg/kg/day for 2-4 weeks). At the end of the treatment period, mice are euthanized, and tissues (kidney, heart) are collected for histological analysis (Masson's trichrome staining for collagen) and for measurement of hydroxyproline content as a marker of collagen deposition. For pharmacokinetic studies, blood samples are collected at various time points (e.g., 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 minutes) after intravenous administration, and plasma CNP levels are measured by ELISA or LC-MS/MS. The TFA salt form enhances solubility for in vivo administration.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (1-53), human TFA has a molecular weight of 5801.77 Da. The peptide sequence is: Asp-Leu-Arg-Val-Asp-Thr-Lys-Ser-Arg-Ala-Ala-Trp-Ala-Arg-Leu-Leu-Gln-Glu-His-Pro-Asn-Ala-Arg-Lys-Tyr-Lys-Gly-Ala-Asn-Lys-Lys-Gly-Leu-Ser-Lys-Gly-Cys-Phe-Gly-Leu-Lys-Leu-Asp-Arg-Ile-Gly-Ser-Met-Ser-Gly-Leu-Gly-Cys (disulfide bridge: Cys37-Cys55). The TFA salt is the trifluoroacetate form, which enhances water solubility and is commonly used for peptide handling. Peptide purity is typically ≥95% by HPLC. The product is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Storage: protect from moisture; store at -20degC for up to 3 years; in solution at -80degC for up to 1 year. Solubility: H2O (soluble); the TFA salt promotes solubility in aqueous buffers. For in vivo administration, the peptide is typically reconstituted in sterile 0.9% saline or PBS at concentrations of 0.1-1 mg/mL and used immediately. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. CNP is susceptible to enzymatic degradation by neutral endopeptidase (NEP); for prolonged in vivo exposure, NEP inhibitors may be co-administered or stabilized analogs (e.g., C53) may be used.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (1-53), human TFA is a research-grade peptide for laboratory use only. It is not for human therapeutic or diagnostic use. At typical research doses (microg/kg range in animals), CNP is generally well-tolerated. High doses may cause hypotension, which is expected due to its vasodilatory effect. Standard safety monitoring (body weight, behavior, blood pressure, hematological parameters) should be performed. As a research peptide, no extensive toxicology data are available; standard precautions for handling peptides (gloves, lab coat, eye protection) should be followed. The TFA salt is considered relatively non-toxic at the concentrations used in research.
