ARA-290

Space-filling model of ARA-290

ARA-290, also called cibinetide, is an eleven-amino-acid peptide built to switch on what researchers call the innate repair receptor — a signal that protects tissue rather than telling it to grow. Interest in it centres on small-fibre neuropathy, damage to the thinnest nerve fibres, and the burning pain that follows. The one randomised trial on file splits cleanly: in 22 people with sarcoidosis, a neuropathy symptom score and the pain dimension of a quality-of-life questionnaire improved more on ARA-290 than on placebo, while a general pain inventory fell equally in both arms. A Phase 2 trial in diabetic macular oedema, the fluid swelling at the back of the eye, is registered.

Reported effects

What sources associate with this compound. Reported categories, not outcomes we have graded — each would need its own citation and rung.

  • Neuropathic discomfort support
  • Nerve recovery
  • Sleep quality

Dosing on file unverified

4 mg daily, cycled 4–12 weeks

Carried from a source that labels it unverified, and reproduced with that label attached. A record of what is reported, not a recommendation. No citation on this page establishes it.

Half-life, storage & sport

Elimination half-life
~2 min (mice) — study. Npj imaging 2025; mice and rats.

The half-life on file is 2 min, measured in mice. On the schedule this record states — daily — each dose has fallen to under 0.1% of its own peak by the time the next is given. Nothing accumulates, and there is no loading phase to run.

Dosed daily over 4 d, each dose normalised to the first peak.
1 compounds on one time axis, each normalised to its own peak0%25%50%75%100%0 min24 h2 d3 d4 dpeaktime from the first doseARA-290

The measurement is not human. It was made in mice, and small mammals clear peptides faster than people do — so this is the fastest plausible shape rather than the expected one.

The rise is not modelled and the axis is not a blood level. No absorption rate constant and no volume of distribution are on file, so each dose appears at full height the instant it is given, and the axis is percent of this compound's own peak.

Identity

PubChem CID 91810664 computed 3D conformer Space-filling 3D model of ARA-290, carbon grey, nitrogen blue, oxygen red
Built from the SMILES on this record — the atoms and bonds are exact. The shape is one computed low-energy pose, not a measured structure: a flexible peptide in solution has no single conformation, and where the SMILES leaves a stereocentre undefined the pose commits to one arbitrarily. The skeletal formula below claims connectivity and nothing more, which is what we actually know.

Innate Repair Receptor Signalingmechanism
It is one of the clearest cases on the site of a mechanism designed to separate a wanted effect from an unwanted one, so records here should be read for whether that separation was demonstrated rather than merely intended.
