Tissue Repair & Regeneration
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.

Mechanism
Activates innate repair receptor signaling and tissue-protective pathways.
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.
Reconstitution

mass ÷ diluent = concentration; dose ÷ concentration = volume; volume × the syringe factor = units on the barrel (100 for U-100, 40 for U-40). Run your own numbers.
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.
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.

- 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.
