Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide growth-hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) developed at Novo Nordisk in the late 1990s. It is characterized in the literature as a selective GH secretagogue with limited ACTH, cortisol, and prolactin response reported in pre-clinical models.

Molecular structure

Sequence Aib-His-D-2Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH₂

What it has been studied for

Research interest centers on the ghrelin-receptor (GHS-R1a) axis and selective GH-pulse studies. The peptide has been investigated in models of growth-hormone insufficiency, post-operative recovery research, and metabolic studies.
