What is the difference between KPV and Vilon?

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, studied in inflammation-signalling research in cell and rodent models (peptide, MW about 342.43 g/mol).

Which is heavier, KPV or Vilon?

KPV has a molecular weight of about 342.43 g/mol and Vilon about 275.3 g/mol (PubChem), so KPV is heavier by 67.13 g/mol, a ratio of 1.24. This means 1 mg of KPV contains 2,920.3 nmol versus 3,632.4 nmol for Vilon.

How many mg of Vilon are equimolar to 1 mg of KPV?

1 mg of KPV (MW 342.43) is 2,920.3 nmol. The same number of moles of Vilon (MW 275.3) weighs 0.804 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.

Compare the molecular formulas of KPV and Vilon

PubChem lists KPV as C16H30N4O4 (342.43 g/mol) and Vilon as C11H21N3O5 (275.3 g/mol). KPV is a peptide; Vilon is a dipeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.

A 2 mg vial of KPV equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?

2 mg of KPV (MW 342.43) is 5.841 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 1.608 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 5 mg vial of KPV equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?

5 mg of KPV (MW 342.43) is 14.602 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 4.02 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 10 mg vial of KPV equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?

10 mg of KPV (MW 342.43) is 29.203 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 8.04 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 20 mg vial of KPV equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?

20 mg of KPV (MW 342.43) is 58.406 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 16.079 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 10 mg vial of Vilon equals how many mg of KPV in moles?

10 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 36.324 µmol. The same amount of KPV (MW 342.43) would weigh 12.438 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 20 mg vial of Vilon equals how many mg of KPV in moles?

20 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 72.648 µmol. The same amount of KPV (MW 342.43) would weigh 24.877 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
