ARA 290

ARA-290 in Laboratory Research

ARA-290 (cibinetide) is an 11-residue peptide that reproduces a short stretch of the erythropoietin molecule’s helix B domain. What makes it useful as a research tool is selectivity: it engages the innate repair receptor without triggering erythropoiesis.

That separation of the tissue-protective arm of EPO signalling from its haematopoietic effects is exactly what allows ARA-290 to be used as a clean pathway probe in controlled laboratory work.

Research Applications & Study Focus

It appears in preclinical models of neuropathic pain, sarcoidosis, diabetic complications, and anti-inflammatory tissue protection, where the innate-repair-receptor pathway is the variable of interest.

Its consistent lot specification supports reproducible signalling conditions across repeated experiments.

Purity, Handling & Verification

Each batch is supplied as a sealed, lyophilized vial and is independently analysed by a third-party laboratory using HPLC and mass spectrometry; the full certificate of analysis is published against its lot number, so results can be verified before use. Store the lyophilized material cool, dry and out of direct light, and reconstitute with bacteriostatic water under standard aseptic laboratory practice.
