Which vendors sell ARA-290 with independent COA testing?

20 vendors in the Merit Verified directory have independent COA evidence on file for ARA-290 — 56 COAs total. COA coverage and test dates are listed on the ARA-290 page at https://meritverified.org/peptides/ara-290.

How do I verify the quality of ARA-290 from a vendor?

To verify ARA-290 quality, look for an independent certificate of analysis (COA) from a third-party lab — not a lab the vendor owns or pays directly. The COA should state the tested compound, lot number, purity percentage (identity and concentration), and the lab's name. Cross-reference the lot number against the vendor's current stock. Merit Verified indexes COAs for ARA-290 at https://meritverified.org/peptides/ara-290 so you can compare evidence across vendors before buying.

What is the regulatory status of ARA-290?

ARA-290 is tracked in the Merit Verified registry. Regulatory status for research peptides in the US has been evolving — the FDA has reclassified a number of peptides out of the 503A compounding ingredient list since 2025. Merit Verified does not provide legal or regulatory advice; check official FDA sources or consult a licensed professional for the current status of ARA-290 in your jurisdiction.

Healing & Recovery

ARA-290

Also known as: Cibinetide

ARA-290 (Cibinetide) is a synthetic 11-amino-acid peptide derived from the helix-B surface of erythropoietin (EPO), developed by Araim Pharmaceuticals. It selectively activates the innate repair receptor (IRR) for anti-inflammatory, tissue-protective, and neuroprotective signaling without stimulating erythropoiesis. ARA-290 is not FDA-approved; it has received FDA Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations for sarcoidosis-associated small fiber neuropathy and remains in clinical development as of April 2026.
