About the compound
GHRH(1-29) analog (D-Ala2 / Gln8 / Ala15 / Leu27) with a C-terminal maleimidopropionyl-Lys30 albumin-binding handle. C₁₅₂H₂₅₂N₄₄O₄₂, MW 3367.97 Da.
CJC-1295 with the drug-affinity-complex (DAC) handle is a 30-residue analog of GHRH(1-29). The modified residues D-Ala2, Gln8, Ala15, and Leu27 confer resistance to DPP-4 cleavage. A C-terminal Lys30 bears a maleimidopropionic acid (MPA) handle that forms an in-situ thioether bond with the free thiol of Cys34 on serum albumin.
Reconstitution. For in-vitro laboratory handling, dissolve with bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Compound is hygroscopic — handle in low-humidity conditions and re-cap immediately.
Stability profile. Lyophilized: stable at room temperature for up to 30 days sealed; long-term storage at -20 °C recommended. Reconstituted material: stable at 2–8 °C for up to 14 days.
