Antide

Antide acetate is an LHRH antagonist and represses LH and FSH release from the pituitary gland. Antide has a molecular formula of C82H108ClN17O14 a.a. sequence of Ac-D-2-Nal-4-chloro-D-Phe-b-(3-pyridyl)-D-Ala-Ser-Lys(nicotinoyl)-D-Lys(nicotinoyl)-Leu-Lys(isopropyl)-Pro-D-Ala-NH2. Dimers and Aggregates: Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis. Endotoxin: < 0.1ng/ug (IEU/ug) of Antide Acetate. Protein Content: Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:, 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm., 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of Antide as a Reference Standard. Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Antide in sterile 18MOmega-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Stability: Lyophilized Antide although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -180C. Upon reconstitution Antide Acetate should be stored at 40C between 2-7 days and for future use below -180C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
