Small-molecule NNMT inhibitor
5-Amino-1MQ
5-Amino-1MQ inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme implicated in adipocyte metabolism. The literature is mouse work plus enzyme kinetics; there is no published human study.
Soluble activin receptor type IIB fused to an IgG1 Fc domain (myostatin trap)
ACE-031 · Ramatercept, ActRIIB-Fc
ACE-031 is a decoy receptor that binds myostatin and related ligands before they reach muscle. It reached phase 2 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy before the programme was halted over vascular safety signals — nosebleeds and telangiectasia — giving it an unusually well documented human record for a compound of this type.
Dilute acid diluent for poorly water-soluble peptides
Acetic Acid (dilute, for reconstitution)
Some peptides — IGF-1 analogues most notably — do not dissolve or remain stable in neutral water. Published handling protocols use dilute acetic acid to bring them into solution before further dilution.
Cyclic Semax analogue (cyclo-prolylglycine related)
Adamax
Adamax is sold as a modified, more stable Semax analogue. There is effectively no indexed peer-reviewed literature under this name, and that absence is the single most important thing to know about it.

The New Wave of Peptides Everyone Will Be Talking About
Amycretin, eloralintide, pemvidutide and more: the next-generation peptides posting some of the biggest trial results ever seen — and why they matter.
If you thought the first GLP-1 compounds were the whole story, buckle up. A new generation of peptides is coming through clinical trials right now, and some of the numbers are genuinely jaw-dropping. None of these are on our protocol pages yet — so here's your first look at the names you'll be hearing everywhere soon.

Sourcing research material?
We check supplier documentation — certificates of analysis, third-party testing, manufacturing standards — before anyone is listed. Start with the ones that passed.
The science is international; the rules are not. These guides explain who regulates research materials in each market, where the research is done, and how local terminology differs.

What Is BPC-157? Mechanisms, Evidence and Research Gaps
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15–amino-acid peptide derived from a sequence identified in human gastric juice. It is investigated for tissue repair, angiogenesis and gut barrier function. Almost all published evidence comes from rodent models; controlled human data is very limited, and long-term safety has not been characterised.
What Is TB-500? Thymosin Beta-4 Research Explained
TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4, a naturally occurring actin-sequestering protein involved in cell migration and wound repair. Research has focused on wound healing, corneal injury and cardiac repair. Thymosin beta-4 itself reached early human trials; the TB-500 fragment sold for laboratory use has not.
How GHK-Cu Works: Copper Peptide Research Explained
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) found in human plasma, saliva and urine. Plasma levels fall with age, which prompted research into skin remodelling, wound repair and gene expression. It has the strongest human evidence base of the classic repair peptides, largely from dermatology.
KPV Peptide Research: Anti-Inflammatory Tripeptide Explained
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment (lysine–proline–valine) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It retains much of the parent hormone's anti-inflammatory signalling without its pigmentary effects. Research is concentrated in experimental colitis and dermatitis models; human trials are minimal.
MOTS-c Research: Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide Explained
MOTS-c is a 16–amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene — one of the first recognised mitochondrial-derived peptides. Research links it to AMPK activation, metabolic flexibility and exercise adaptation. Nearly all functional data comes from cell and rodent work; human research is observational.
SS-31 (Elamipretide): Cardiolipin-Targeted Peptide Research
SS-31, developed clinically as elamipretide, is a cell-permeable tetrapeptide that concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane and binds cardiolipin. It is one of the few research peptides with a substantial registered clinical trial programme, most notably in primary mitochondrial myopathy and Barth syndrome, with mixed results.
How these articles are written
- Laboratory, animal and human evidence are reported separately, and the article says plainly where the evidence stops.
- Every claim links to the published source — PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov or the journal itself.
- Educational only. Nothing here is medical advice, a protocol or a dosing recommendation.
