Ceruletide (Caerulein) is a biologically active decapeptide isolated from the skin of the Australian frog Hyla caerulea. It is a potent cholecystokinetic agent with a direct spasmogenic effect on the gallbladder muscle and bile ducts in humans.
Ceruletide is similar chemically and biologically to the human gastrointestinal hormones cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK) and gastrin II. Ceruletide stimulates gallbladder contraction, pancreatic exocrine secretion, gastric secretion, and motility in the distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon, while delaying gastric emptying and inhibiting motility in the proximal duodenum. NF-kappaB/Rel is rapidly activated during cerulein pancreatitis. This activation may induce a self-defending genetic program before the onset of cellular injury, which might prevent higher degrees of damage of pancreatic acinar cells after secretagogue hyperstimulation.
1.The peptide is to be dissolved in distilled, oxygen free or preferable sterile oxygen free water first. The concentration should be high enough to allow addition of buffer after the products is dissolved completely.
2.If necessary diluted acetic acid or ammonium hydroxide, app. 1%, can be added to help solubilize the peptide. In those rare cases where solubilization is still not achieved, the solution may be sonicated briefly (up to 10 min, temperature shouldnt rise over 30-40oC)
3.In order to avoid serious solubility problems, buffer or saline should be added after the peptide is fully in solution.
4.Solutions should be kept slightly basic to avoid degradation.
5.Solutions limited lifetime in solution and long-term storage is not recommended.

动物 A (mg/kg) = 动物 B (mg/kg)×动物 B的Km系数/动物 A的Km系数 | |
例如,已知某工具药用于小鼠的剂量为88 mg/kg , 则用于大鼠的剂量换算方法:将88 mg/kg 乘以小鼠的Km系数(3),再除以大鼠的Km系数(6),得到该药物用于大鼠的等效剂量44 mg/kg。
