Description
BQ 3020 is a linear analogue of endothelin-1 (ET-1) which is a highly potent and selective ETB endothelin receptor agonist with Ki values of 0.18 and 970 nM at human ETB and ETA receptors. Intratumour administration of BQ 3020 can attenuate cancer pain by modulating β-endorphin release from squamous cell carcinoma cells in mouse models.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
