体外研究 (In Vitro) | Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23) increases the ICa,Lin transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells and VSMCs via GPR7[1]. Neuropeptide W-23 (human) increases the expression of pan phospho-PKC, intracellular diacylglycerol level, and the second messenger catalyzed by PLC[1].

体内研究 (In Vivo) | Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23) (0.3-3.0 nM; intracerebroventricular injection; 2 μL) increases total behavioral activity, including locomotion and grooming in conscious rats[2]. Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23) (2-8 nM; i.c.v.; 10 μL) shows anorexigenic effect in rats[3].
Animal Model: | Male Harlan Sprague-Dawley rats, 250–300 g[2] | Dosage: | 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0 nM | Administration: | Intracerebroventricular injection, 2 μL | Result: | Caused significant increases in mean arterial pressure. Demonstrated a significant increase in total activity, ambulatory activity, and duration of stereotypy. |
Animal Model: | Male Wistar rats weighing 250–300 g[3] | Dosage: | 2, 4, 6 and 8 nM | Administration: | Intra-cerebroventricular injection, 10 μL | Result: | Decreased dark feeding and fasting-induced feeding, decreased feeding intake and weight gain. |

Solvent & Solubility | In Vitro: H2O Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines: 1. Calculate the length of the peptide. 2. Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table: | Contents | Assign value | Acidic amino acid | Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. | -1 | Basic amino acid | Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 | +1 | Neutral amino acid | Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) | 0 |
3. Recommended solution: Overall charge of peptide | Details | Negative (<0) | 1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL). 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide. | Positive (>0) | 1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution. 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO. | Zero (=0) | 1. Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first. 2. For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration. |
