ANP (1-28)

Natriuretic Peptide / Cardiac Hormone

Also known as: Atrial Natriuretic Peptide · Atriopeptin · Carperitide

The endogenous 28-amino-acid cardiac peptide that promotes natriuresis, vasodilation, & inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Used clinically in Japan for acute heart failure.

Typical Dose

0.025–0.2 mcg/kg/min IV infusion (Japan: acute heart failure)

Route

Intravenous infusion

Cycle

Acute (24–72 hours)

Half-life

~2–3 minutes

Storage

2–8°C.

Overview

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) is a 28-amino-acid cyclic peptide released by atrial cardiomyocytes in response to increased wall stretch from volume or pressure overload. It promotes renal sodium & water excretion (natriuresis/diuresis), vasodilation via cGMP, & inhibits renin, aldosterone, & vasopressin. Carperitide (synthetic ANP) is approved in Japan for acute heart failure.
