aka KISS1 decapeptide, Metastin (45-54)

Kisspeptin-10 (Kp-10) is the active C-terminal decapeptide of KISS1 that binds GPR54/KISS1R to trigger hypothalamic GnRH pulses and downstream LH/FSH release.

aka Lysine-Proline-Valine, α-MSH C-terminal tripeptide

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH with oral bioavailability via PepT1 and potent NF-κB-mediated anti-inflammatory activity in gut and skin research models.

aka Cathelicidin, CAMP

LL-37 is the only human cathelicidin, combining direct antimicrobial membrane disruption with broad immunomodulatory and wound-healing signalling via FPR2/ALX.

aka MT-II, MT2

Melanotan II is a cyclic α-MSH analogue with broad melanocortin agonism across MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R, studied for pigmentation and sexual behaviour.

aka Mitochondrial-derived peptide, mtDNA-encoded MOTS-c

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that activates AMPK, mimics exercise-induced gene expression, and declines with age — linking metabolic fitness to mitochondrial output.

aka Glu-Asp-Arg, EDR

Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg) is a Khavinson tripeptide bioregulator studied for neuroprotection, pineal modulation, and age-related cognitive decline in animal models.

aka Bremelanotide, Vyleesi

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is an MC4R-selective melanocortin agonist FDA-approved as Vyleesi for premenopausal HSDD, acting centrally to modulate sexual arousal.

aka LY3437943

Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a once-weekly triple GIP/GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist in Phase III, showing ~24% mean weight loss in Phase II at 48 weeks.

aka TP-7, Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the immunopeptide tuftsin that produces anxiolytic and nootropic effects via GABAergic modulation without benzodiazepine-type dependence.

aka Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro, MEHFPGP

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH(4-10) that upregulates BDNF and NGF, enhancing cognition via intranasal delivery without corticotropic side effects.

aka Elamipretide, Bendavia

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a D-amino-acid tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilising the electron transport chain and reducing pathological ROS.
