Hexarelin Acetate is the acetate-associated form of a modified synthetic hexapeptide supplied for controlled laboratory, analytical, and scientific research.
Its defined peptide structure contains several modified or stereochemically specified residues, including 2-methyl-D-tryptophan and D-phenylalanine, together with C-terminal amidation. These features form part of the compound’s complete molecular identity and should be preserved in technical documentation.
PubChem lists the explicit acetate-associated form of Hexarelin with molecular formula C₄₉H₆₂N₁₂O₈, molecular weight approximately 947.1 g/mol, CAS 208251-52-9, and condensed sequence H-His-D-Trp(2-Me)-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH₂·CH₃CO₂H.
Research Applications
Hexarelin Acetate may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
- Modified peptide characterization
- Ligand-receptor interaction studies
- Molecular signaling research
- Structure-activity analysis
- Analytical peptide comparison
- Stereochemistry-focused studies
- Stability assessment
- Non-clinical biochemical and cellular models
Any experimental observations should remain specific to the applicable research system and should not be interpreted as evidence of therapeutic effectiveness, hormonal benefit, performance enhancement, or suitability for human use.
Structural Information
The peptide portion is represented as:
His-D-Trp(2-Me)-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH₂
Acetate-associated representation:
His-D-Trp(2-Me)-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH₂ · CH₃CO₂H
One-letter shorthand:
HXAWFK
The X corresponds to the modified 2-methyltryptophan residue rather than a standard amino acid.
Analytical Identification
Relevant characterization may include:
- Peptide identity confirmation
- Sequence verification
- Modified-residue confirmation
- Stereochemical verification
- C-terminal amidation confirmation
- Molecular mass assessment
- Acetate/counter-ion analysis
- Chromatographic purity testing
- Lot-specific quality analysis
Specifications & Documentation
Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:
- Compound identity
- Peptide sequence
- Modified-residue configuration
- Acetate content
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- Purity specification
- Analytical testing
- Lot or batch information
- Certificate of Analysis
- Storage requirements
Authenticated lot-specific documentation should take precedence over generalized catalog information.
Storage & Handling
Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide integrity.
Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research materials.
