ARA-290
Erythropoietin-derived peptide researched for neuropathy and tissue repair.
Mechanism of Action
A synthetic 11-amino-acid peptide derived from the erythropoietin molecule. Research indicates it retains the tissue-protective (non-erythropoietic) effects of EPO via the β-common receptor, without stimulating red blood cell production.
Research Areas
Common Research Protocols
Daily or twice-weekly subcutaneous dosing in neuropathy trials.
Protocols summarized for educational reference from published research. Not dosing guidance.
Cited Research
ARA-290 in sarcoidosis-associated small-fiber neuropathy
Improved pain scores and corneal nerve fiber density in sarcoidosis patients.
ARA-290 tissue protective effects
Reviewed non-hematopoietic protective mechanisms via the innate repair receptor.
Important Considerations
- •Investigational; not FDA-approved.
- •Does not raise hematocrit like full EPO molecule.
