IC50: 0.78 μM (neuroprotection)[1]

In Vitro Poly-arginine (e.g. (Arg)9) and arginine-rich peptides (e.g. TAT, penetratin), which belong to a class of peptides with cell-penetrating properties are neuroprotective. (Arg)9 provides significant neuroprotection in a dose–response manner following glutamic acid exposure (IC50=0.78 μM). Following kainic acid exposure, (Arg)9 is neuroprotective, but less effective than in the glutamic acid model (IC50=0.81 μM). (Arg)9 also shows neuroprotection following in vitro ischemia (IC50=6 μM)[1].
In Vivo (Arg)9) (D-isoform) is neuroprotective in rat stroke models. (Arg)9) is highly neuroprotective, with efficacy increasing with increasing arginine content, has the capacity to reduce glutamic acid-induced neuronal calcium influx and requires heparan sulfate preotoglycan-mediated endocytosis to induce a neuroprotective effect[2]. (Arg)9) (D-isoform) administered intravenously at a dose of 1000 nmol/kg 30 min after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) reduces infarct volume[3].
Cell Assay (Arg)9 is prepared as 100× stocks (500 μM) in normal saline and assessed in a concentration range from 0.1 to 15 μM. (Arg)9 is added to culture 96-well plate 15 min prior to glutamic acid or kainic acid exposure. Neuronal viability is quantitatively using the MTS assay[1].
Animal Admin Rats: (Arg)9 (D-isoform) is prepared in 100× stocks (500 μM in water and assessed in a concentration range from 0.1 to 20 μM. Rats are fasted overnight and subjected to filament permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Thirty minutes post-MCAO rats are intravenously treated with (Arg)9 (1 μmol/kg in 600 μL over 5 minutes) or vehicle (normal saline for injection; 600 μL over 5 minutes). Treatments are randomized and all procedures are performed masked to treatment. Twenty-four hours post-MCAO infarct area assessment is performed[2].
