Description

Molecular Details of Ipamorelin

• Molecular Formula:
  C38H49N9O5

• Molecular Weight (Monoisotopic):
  711.86 g/mol

• Peptide Type:
  Synthetic pentapeptide
  Classified as a Growth Hormone Secretagogue (GHS) and Ghrelin receptor agonist

• Amino Acid Sequence:
  Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH₂
  (Aib = aminoisobutyric acid, D-2-Nal = D-2-naphthylalanine)

🧬 Mechanism of Action (Research Use Only):

• Selectively binds to the Ghrelin/GHSR receptor

• Stimulates Growth Hormone (GH) release from the pituitary

• Minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin, unlike older GHRPs (e.g., GHRP-2, GHRP-6)

• Short-acting, pulse-like GH stimulation pattern

• Does not desensitize receptors quickly, allowing for repeated research dosing

🧪 Research Applications:

• Growth hormone secretion studies

• Muscle growth and repair models

• Bone density and collagen synthesis research

• Anti-aging and regenerative biology

• Comparative studies vs. GHRP-2, GHRP-6, and Hexarelin
