Biological Activity
| Targets |
Natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B) agonist No agonist activity for Natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A) No agonist activity for growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHS-R1a) [1] |
| ln Vitro |
In CHO cells expressing human NPR-B, C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) (1-22), human (0.01, 0.1, 1,10, 100, 1000 nM), dose-dependently enhances cGMP synthesis [1]. CNP(1-22) increased cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production in Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells stably expressing human NPR-B in a concentration-dependent manner, demonstrating its agonist activity for NPR-B. [1] CNP(1-22) did not increase cGMP production in CHO cells stably expressing human NPR-A, indicating no agonist activity for NPR-A. [1] CNP(1-22) did not increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration in CHO cells stably expressing rat GHS-R1a, indicating no agonist activity for GHS-R1a. [1] |

Mean residence time (MRT), total clearance (CLtot), half-life (T1/2), and bioavailability (BA). When administered to humans at a concentration of 2 nM for 24 and 48 hours, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) (1-22) increases the intensity of convulsions brought on by microtoxins [3]. Single subcutaneous (sc) bolus injection of CNP(1-22) at 1600 nmol/kg in mice increased cGMP concentrations in plasma and auricular cartilage, but the levels were lower compared to the novel analog ASB20123 at a much lower dose. [1] Repeated sc administration of CNP(1-22) to mice under the conditions tested showed no significant effect on skeletal growth, unlike its chimeric derivatives. [1] It was reported that exogenous CNP(1-22) improved endochondral ossification and accelerated bone growth in mice, but only after constant intravenous infusion at a large dose. [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
The agonist activity of CNP(1-22) for human NPR-A and NPR-B was evaluated using CHO cells stably expressing these receptors. The test compound was added to cells in duplicate and incubated for 15 minutes. Cells were then lysed, and the cGMP concentration in the lysate was determined using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). [1] The agonist activity for rat GHS-R1a was evaluated using CHO cells stably expressing this receptor. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration were measured using a fluorescence-based calcium assay kit. [1] |
| Cell Assay |
The in vitro receptor specificity and potency of CNP(1-22) were assessed using cell-based assays. For NPR-A and NPR-B activity, CHO cells expressing the respective receptors were treated with the peptide. After incubation, cellular cGMP levels were quantified via ELISA as a measure of receptor activation. [1] For GHS-R1a activity, CHO cells expressing rat GHS-R1a were treated with the peptide, and receptor activation was assessed by measuring changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration using a fluorescent dye. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Study in Rats: Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (7 or 8 weeks old) were anesthetized. A cannula was inserted into the jugular vein for blood sampling. CNP(1-22) was administered as a single intravenous (iv) injection (20 nmol/kg) or subcutaneous (sc) injection (50 nmol/kg) at a dose volume of 1 mL/kg. Blood samples were collected at designated times via the cannula into tubes containing protease inhibitor and anticoagulant. Plasma was separated by centrifugation. CNP immunoreactivity in plasma was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Plasma cGMP concentration was also determined by RIA. [1] cGMP Production in Mouse Auricular Cartilage: Six-week-old ICR male mice received a single sc bolus injection of CNP(1-22) at 1600 nmol/kg or vehicle. At designated times, mice were anesthetized, blood was collected from the inferior vena cava for plasma, and a portion of the ear auricle was isolated. The auricular cartilage was separated, homogenized in perchloric acid, and processed. cGMP concentrations in plasma and cartilage homogenates were measured using enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits. [1] In Vivo Pharmacological Study in Mice: Three-week-old juvenile female ICR mice received daily sc bolus injections of vehicle (control) for 8 weeks (the study primarily evaluated ASB20123, with CNP(1-22) used as a reference in earlier studies showing lack of efficacy under similar repeated dosing regimens). Body weight, body length, and tail length were measured weekly. [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
In anesthetized rats, after a single intravenous (iv) dose of 20 nmol/kg, CNP(1-22) had an AUC0-∞ of 320 ± 54 pmol·min/mL, a mean residence time (MRT0-∞) of 1.02 ± 0.18 min, a half-life (T1/2) of 1.42 ± 0.45 min, a total clearance (CL) of 63.9 ± 11.9 mL/min/kg, and a volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) of 64.2 ± 5.1 mL/kg. [1] After a single subcutaneous (sc) dose of 50 nmol/kg in anesthetized rats, CNP(1-22) had a Cmax of 9.02 ± 3.74 pmol/mL, a Tmax of 5.0 ± 0.0 min, an AUC0-∞ of 152 ± 73 pmol·min/mL, an MRT0-∞ of 13.9 ± 3.4 min, a T1/2 of 10.0 ± 5.0 min, and a bioavailability (BA) of 19 ± 9%. [1] CNP(1-22) was rapidly cleared from the circulation following exogenous administration. [1] The plasma cGMP concentration increased after CNP(1-22) dosing but returned to basal levels relatively quickly compared to its analog. [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The literature [1] mentions that if CNP(1-22) is administered at high doses, it might cause a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure in patients, indicating a potential risk of hypotension. [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
A PEPTIDE of 22 amino acids, derived mainly from cells of VASCULAR ENDOTHELIUM. It is also found in the BRAIN, major endocrine glands, and other tissues. It shares structural homology with ATRIAL NATRIURETIC FACTOR. It has vasorelaxant activity thus is important in the regulation of vascular tone and blood flow. Several high molecular weight forms containing the 22 amino acids have been identified. CNP(1-22) is a 22-amino acid peptide and is a major endogenous molecular form of CNP found in plasma. [1] Exogenous CNP(1-22) is rapidly cleared from the circulation, which limits its therapeutic efficacy. [1] CNP(1-22) and all natriuretic peptides can induce diuresis and hypotension in the circulation. High-dose administration carries a risk of reducing systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure. [1] The CNP/NPR-B signaling pathway is a pivotal physiological stimulator of endochondral bone growth, making CNP and its analogs potential therapeutic candidates for growth failure conditions like achondroplasia.
