VIAL LYOPHILIZED

VIP/Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (10mg)

Coming Soon

Nomenclature & Synonyms

The Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide is commonly referred to by its acronym VIP and is a member of the glucagon/secretin family of peptides. It does not have widely known research or development codes but is often categorized under peptides in pharmacological literature.

Structural Characteristics

The exact sequence of VIP is H-His-Ser-Asp-Ala-Val-Phe-Thr-Asp-Asn-Tyr-Thr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Lys-Gln-Met-Ala-Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ile-Leu-Asn-NH2, consisting of 28 amino acids. The peptide is C-terminally amidated, which is crucial for its bioactivity. VIP does not derive from a parent protein but rather is synthesized as a prohormone before being cleaved into its active form.

Molecular Pharmacology

VIP primarily binds to VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, functioning as an agonist. These receptors are coupled to the adenylate cyclase signaling pathway, predominantly increasing cAMP levels, which subsequently activate protein kinase A (PKA). Studies have shown VIP also interacts with pathways involving MAPK/ERK and the PI3K/Akt signaling cascades. Specific EC50 values are strain and preparation-dependent but are typically observed in the nanomolar range for receptor activation.

Research Applications

  • VIP has been extensively studied in immune modulation, where it has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties via the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
  • In neurobiology, it has proven significance in neural development and circadian rhythms, often researched in contexts of neuroprotection and brain injury recovery.

Technical Properties

VIP is soluble in sterile water or 0.1% acetic acid at concentrations up to 1 mg/mL. Stability data demonstrates that the lyophilized form is stable for several months when stored at -20°C to -80°C. Upon reconstitution, it is generally stable for 1-2 weeks at 4°C.

Compliance

For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventive applications.

Storage
For storage, lyophilized VIP should be stored desiccated at -20°C or preferably -80°C. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, VIP becomes more susceptible to degradation. Store the reconstituted solution in a refrigerator at 2-8°C. For longer storage, freeze the solution below -20°C. To prevent degradation from repeated thawing, it's best to aliquot the reconstituted solution into smaller, single-use vials before freezing. Protect both lyophilized and reconstituted VIP from direct light by storing them in dark containers. Ensure vials are tightly capped to prevent moisture exposure and contamination. Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol to inhibit bacterial growth, extending the shelf life of the reconstituted solution compared to sterile water.
