What is the difference between Hexarelin and Oxytocin?
Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue, also studied for binding to the CD36 receptor in cardiovascular research models (peptide, MW about 887 g/mol).
Which is heavier, Hexarelin or Oxytocin?
Hexarelin has a molecular weight of about 887 g/mol and Oxytocin about 1007.2 g/mol (PubChem), so Oxytocin is heavier by 120.2 g/mol, a ratio of 1.14. This means 1 mg of Hexarelin contains 1,127.4 nmol versus 992.9 nmol for Oxytocin.
How many mg of Oxytocin are equimolar to 1 mg of Hexarelin?
1 mg of Hexarelin (MW 887) is 1,127.4 nmol. The same number of moles of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) weighs 1.136 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Hexarelin and Oxytocin
PubChem lists Hexarelin as C47H58N12O6 (887 g/mol) and Oxytocin as C43H66N12O12S2 (1007.2 g/mol). Hexarelin is a peptide; Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
A 2 mg vial of Hexarelin equals how many mg of Oxytocin in moles?
2 mg of Hexarelin (MW 887) is 2.255 µmol. The same amount of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) would weigh 2.271 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 5 mg vial of Hexarelin equals how many mg of Oxytocin in moles?
5 mg of Hexarelin (MW 887) is 5.637 µmol. The same amount of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) would weigh 5.678 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 10 mg vial of Hexarelin equals how many mg of Oxytocin in moles?
10 mg of Hexarelin (MW 887) is 11.274 µmol. The same amount of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) would weigh 11.355 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 2 mg vial of Oxytocin equals how many mg of Hexarelin in moles?
2 mg of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) is 1.986 µmol. The same amount of Hexarelin (MW 887) would weigh 1.761 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 5 mg vial of Oxytocin equals how many mg of Hexarelin in moles?
5 mg of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) is 4.964 µmol. The same amount of Hexarelin (MW 887) would weigh 4.403 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
