What is the difference between Selank and Vilon?
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of tuftsin extended with Pro-Gly-Pro, developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Russia and studied in neuropeptide research (peptide, MW about 751.9 g/mol).
Which is heavier, Selank or Vilon?
Selank has a molecular weight of about 751.9 g/mol and Vilon about 275.3 g/mol (PubChem), so Selank is heavier by 476.6 g/mol, a ratio of 2.73. This means 1 mg of Selank contains 1,330 nmol versus 3,632.4 nmol for Vilon.
How many mg of Vilon are equimolar to 1 mg of Selank?
1 mg of Selank (MW 751.9) is 1,330 nmol. The same number of moles of Vilon (MW 275.3) weighs 0.3661 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Selank and Vilon
PubChem lists Selank as C33H57N11O9 (751.9 g/mol) and Vilon as C11H21N3O5 (275.3 g/mol). Selank is a peptide; Vilon is a dipeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
A 5 mg vial of Selank equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?
5 mg of Selank (MW 751.9) is 6.65 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 1.831 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 10 mg vial of Selank equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?
10 mg of Selank (MW 751.9) is 13.3 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 3.661 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 Selank in moles?
10 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 36.324 µmol. The same amount of Selank (MW 751.9) would weigh 27.312 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 Selank in moles?
20 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 72.648 µmol. The same amount of Selank (MW 751.9) would weigh 54.624 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
