  Vilon peptide was developed in the 1990s by researchers at the Institute of Immunology in Moscow, Russia. The development of Vilon was part of a broader research program aimed at developing novel immunomodulatory peptides. The researchers were particularly interested in peptides that could regulate the activity of T-cells, a type of white blood cell...

  Liraglutide peptide is a synthetic analog of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and it was developed to activate the GLP-1 receptor, increasing insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon secretion, and slowing gastric emptying.  Liraglutide has the following sequence: H-His-Ala-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Val-Ser-Ser-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Ala-Ala-Lys(γ-Glu-palmitoyl)Glu-Phe-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-Lys-Gly-Arg-Gly-OH. The modification in Liraglutide peptide is the addition of a fatty acid chain (palmitic acid) to the amino acid...

  Modified GRF (1-29) is a peptide hormone that is also known as CJC-1295 without DAC (Drug Affinity Complex). It is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and is designed to enhance the body's natural production of growth hormone. Similarly to other GHRH analogs, it appears to work by binding to the growth...

  ARA-290 peptide is a promising molecule that has recently gained attention. This small, synthetic peptide is a derivative of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells. However, unlike EPO, ARA-290 does not appear to affect erythropoiesis and has been suggested to have potent tissue-protective effects. In this article, we...

  Sermorelin Acetate, a synthetic peptide, was developed to function as an analog of a naturally occurring hormone called growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). While GHRH has 44 amino acids, Sermorelin peptide is truncated down to 29 amino acids. Sermorelin peptide is also known as the Growth Hormone Releasing Factor (1-29) or GRF (1-29). Sermorelin is...

  Peptides consist of chains of amino acids that play a crucial role in many biological processes. One such peptide, MOTS-c (mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c), has recently emerged as a potential key player in maintaining good health. MOTS-c is naturally produced in the human body, is found in mitochondria, and is considered...

  Tirzepatide is a novel peptide that is a modified version of the human incretins called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), formerly known as gastric inhibitory peptide and GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1). The human duodenum and small intestines normally produce incretins after a meal, and an incretin’s function is to stimulate insulin production. This may help the...

  Ipamorelin, also known as NNC 26-0161, is a pentapeptide with the amino acid sequence Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. Researchers suggest it may induce a peak in growth hormone (GH) synthesis by the pituitary gland via activating the growth hormone secretagogue receptors (GHS-Rs). In this respect, Ipamorelin is classified as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). It appears mimic...

  BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide made of 15 amino acids and bears the sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val, and a molecular formula of C62H98N16O22. This is a fully synthetic peptide with a sequence not known to occur in nature. However, it is often termed a “gut peptide,” as it is suggested to have similar structure and properties to...
