Commonly written as ARA 290, cibinetide, ARA290 or innate repair receptor agonist, it is an erythropoietin-derived undecapeptide studied for innate repair receptor signalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARA-290 is a synthetic 11-amino-acid peptide engineered from the three-dimensional structure of erythropoietin (EPO). It reproduces the surface of EPO's helix B, the region that contacts the tissue-protective receptor, while leaving out the parts of the hormone that stimulate red blood cell production, which is why it is described as a non-erythropoietic EPO derivative or helix B surface peptide. The sequence begins with a pyroglutamate residue and is written pGlu-Glu-Gln-Leu-Glu-Arg-Ala-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ser, giving a molecular weight of about 1,257 daltons. Its international non-proprietary name is cibinetide, and it is often written as ARA 290, ARA290 or ara290 peptide and sometimes called an innate repair receptor agonist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARA-290 is studied mainly in three areas: small fibre neuropathy and neuropathic pain, metabolic and microvascular complications of diabetes, and tissue protection after ischaemic or inflammatory injury in the kidney, heart and nervous system. It works by selectively activating the innate repair receptor, a heteromer formed by the erythropoietin receptor and the beta-common receptor (CD131), which is expressed on stressed cells and triggers anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and repair-promoting signalling without engaging the EPO receptor homodimer that drives erythropoiesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmega Peptides Australia supplies ARA-290 as a high-purity (≥99% HPLC) COA-verified lyophilised powder in a sealed sterile 10mg vial.

The classical EPO receptor homodimer, found on erythroid progenitors, drives red blood cell production and is activated at picomolar concentrations of circulating EPO. A second assembly, the innate repair receptor, pairs one EPO receptor subunit with the beta-common receptor CD131 shared by the GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5 receptors. This heteromer has lower affinity for EPO, appears mainly on cells exposed to injury or metabolic stress, and triggers pathways such as JAK2-STAT, PI3K-Akt and NF-kB inhibition that reduce apoptosis, dampen inflammation and promote repair. ARA-290 was designed to mimic only the helix B face of EPO that contacts this heteromer, so it activates innate repair signalling without binding the homodimer or stimulating erythropoiesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARA-290 has a very short plasma half-life, reported in the order of minutes in preclinical pharmacokinetic work, yet its biological effects persist far longer because receptor activation sets off downstream gene expression changes that continue after the peptide has cleared. This decoupling of exposure from effect is a distinctive feature of the compound. It differs from BPC-157 and TB-500, whose tissue-repair research centres on angiogenesis, growth factor expression and actin dynamics rather than on a defined receptor, and from GLP-1 class peptides, with which it shares nothing beyond peptide chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eARA-290 (cibinetide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCibinetide, ARA 290, ARA290, ara290 peptide, pyroglutamate helix B surface peptide (pHBSP), innate repair receptor agonist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCAS number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1208243-50-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular formula\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC51H84N16O21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1257.3 g\/mol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSequence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epGlu-Glu-Gln-Leu-Glu-Arg-Ala-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ser (11 residues, N-terminal pyroglutamate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTissue-repair research\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≥99% HPLC, batch COA supplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLyophilised powder in a sealed sterile vial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVial sizes available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10mg — $129.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage (lyophilised)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2–8°C short term or −20°C long term, protect from light and moisture, avoid repeated freeze-thaw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage (reconstituted)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2–8°C, use within 28 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReconstitution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBacteriostatic water (recommended)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable sizes and pricing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARA-290 is offered in a single 10mg vial.
