What is the difference between Tesamorelin and Vilon?

Tesamorelin is a stabilised analogue of the full 44-residue GHRH with an N-terminal trans-3-hexenoyl group, used in GHRH receptor research (peptide, MW about 5136 g/mol).

Which is heavier, Tesamorelin or Vilon?

Tesamorelin has a molecular weight of about 5136 g/mol and Vilon about 275.3 g/mol (PubChem), so Tesamorelin is heavier by 4,860.7 g/mol, a ratio of 18.66. This means 1 mg of Tesamorelin contains 194.7 nmol versus 3,632.4 nmol for Vilon.

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

1 mg of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) is 194.7 nmol. The same number of moles of Vilon (MW 275.3) weighs 0.0536 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.

Compare the molecular formulas of Tesamorelin and Vilon

PubChem lists Tesamorelin as C221H366N72O67S (5136 g/mol) and Vilon as C11H21N3O5 (275.3 g/mol). Tesamorelin is a peptide; Vilon is a dipeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.

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

2 mg of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) is 0.3894 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 0.1072 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

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

10 mg of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) is 1.947 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 0.536 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

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

5 mg of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) is 0.9735 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 0.268 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

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

20 mg of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) is 3.894 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 1.072 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 Tesamorelin in moles?

10 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 36.324 µmol. The same amount of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) would weigh 186.6 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 Tesamorelin in moles?

20 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 72.648 µmol. The same amount of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) would weigh 373.1 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
