Katacalcin TFA (PDN 21 TFA) is a potent plasma calcium-lowering peptide. Katacalcin belongs to the calcitonin family, that causes a rapid but short-lived drop in the level of calcium and phosphate in blood by promoting the incorporation of these ions in the bones. Katacalcin elicites concentration-dependent migration of CD14+ PBMC at concentrations from the atomolar to the micromolar range and deactivates attractant-induced chemotaxis. Katacalcin regulates human CD14+ PBMC migration via signaling events involving protein kinase A-dependent cAMP pathways.

| Formula | C99H155F3N34O38S2 |
| CAS Number | 85916-47-8 (free base) |
| Solubility (25°C) | Water |
| Storage | -20°C, sealed |
| Species | Mouse | Rat | Rabbit | Guinea pig | Hamster | Dog |
| Weight (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
| Body Surface Area (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
| Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

Trofinetide, a water-soluble analog of glycine-proline-glutamic acid (GPE), uses the unnatural amino acid 2-methylproline in place of the proline found in the natural compound, and works by enhancing synaptic activity, restoring synaptic structure, inhibiting the effects of inflammatory compounds in the brain, increasing antioxidant responses, reducing injury-induced cell death, and increasing central IGF-1 presence. It has neuroprotective activity and can be used in studies related to Rett syndrome. |
