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

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.
Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23) (2-8 nM; i.c.v.; 10 μL) shows anorexigenic effect in rats.

Animal Model:
Male Harlan Sprague-Dawley rats, 250–300 g
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
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.

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.
