Thymopentin
1. Basic Information
Name: Thymopentin
Alias: Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr; Thymopoietin pentapeptide
CAS No.: 69558-55-0
Molecular Formula: C30H49N9O9
Molecular Weight: 679.77
Category: Synthetic immunomodulatory polypeptide API, immune-enhancing pharmaceutical raw material, biochemistry research reagent
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized amorphous powder
- Odor: Odorless, slight polypeptide bitter taste
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water, dilute acetic acid buffer; soluble in methanol; slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, alkanes
- Melting Point: Decomposes above 210 ℃, no distinct melting point
- Density (predicted): 1.33 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Strongly hygroscopic, easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate under high humidity
- Aqueous property: Amphoteric polypeptide, stable pH range 4.0–7.0; peptide bonds degrade rapidly under strong acid, strong alkali and high temperature
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Linear pentapeptide composed of arginine, lysine, aspartic acid, valine, tyrosine; multiple peptide bonds, amino, carboxyl, phenolic hydroxyl groups
- Immunological activity mechanism: Simulates thymopoietin function, regulates T lymphocyte differentiation and maturation, enhances human cellular immunity
- Enzymatic degradation susceptibility: Susceptible to protease hydrolysis, resulting in loss of immune activity
- Oxidation sensitivity: Tyrosine phenolic hydroxyl group oxidizes under UV light and heavy metal ions to form yellow oxidation impurities
- Thermal stability: Stable below 60 ℃; heating above 80 ℃ triggers irreversible polypeptide denaturation and fragmentation
- Photostability: Extremely light-sensitive; long-term light exposure increases related impurities and reduces biological potency
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral weak acid buffer, mannitol, trehalose protective agents; incompatible with strong oxidants, heavy metal salts, concentrated acid/alkali
3. Main Application Fields

Safety Warning
Allergenic polypeptide irritant powder. Dust inhalation irritates respiratory tract and may induce protein allergic reactions; skin and eye contact causes local redness and stinging. All operations must be carried out in light-proof sterile fume hood with biological dust respirator, UV-blocking splash goggles and peptide-resistant thick nitrile gloves. Strictly avoid light exposure, high temperature and contact with oxidants/heavy metals. Waste liquid treated with high-temperature inactivation before discharge; solid waste classified as pharmaceutical polypeptide hazardous waste for professional incineration disposal. Operators with protein allergies are prohibited from contact.
