Research other
Other research peptides without a clear family assignment.
Substances studied in the literature without falling into one of the common application families. Often early-phase, heterogeneous data.
This overview is editorial. It describes the evidence base, not a usage recommendation.

Human RCT5 studies · 3 observations
Bremelanotide is a cyclic peptide that binds non-selectively to melanocortin receptors (MC1R through MC5R) — with highest affinity at MC4R in the central nervou…
DSIP
Human trial4 studies · 3 observations
DSIP was described in 1977 by the Schoenenberger-Monnier group in Basel as a blood-borne substance reported to induce EEG changes similar to delta sleep in anim…
Epitalon
Human trial4 studies · 4 observations
Postulated mechanisms include modulation of gene expression in pinealocytes, telomerase activation (observed in cell culture studies) and influence on melatonin…
FOXO4-DRI
Animal model3 studies · 3 observations
FOXO4-DRI is the D-retro-inverso variant of a peptide fragment of the FOXO4 transcription factor. In senescent cells, FOXO4 is bound to p53, which suppresses p5…
Melanotan II
Human trial5 studies · 4 observations
Melanotan II binds non-selectively to all five melanocortin-receptor subtypes (MC1R-MC5R). Via MC1R in melanocytes, eumelanin synthesis is stimulated (pigmentin…
Octreotide
Human RCT5 studies · 3 observations
Octreotide is a cyclic octapeptide that selectively binds somatostatin-receptor subtypes SSTR2 and SSTR5. Via G-protein-coupled signalling, adenylyl cyclase is …
Selank
Human trial4 studies · 3 observations
Selank is a glyproline-tuftsin analog. Proposed mechanisms include modulation of the GABAergic system, effects on serotonin bioavailability, and influence on en…
Semax
Human trial4 studies · 3 observations
Semax is a tetracosactide fragment analog without hormonal activity at MC2R. Proposed mechanisms include elevation of BDNF and NGF in hippocampus and striatum (…
Triptorelin
Human RCT4 studies · 3 observations
Triptorelin binds with high affinity to the GnRH receptor in the pituitary. After initial stimulation of LH and FSH secretion (flare phase, about 1-2 weeks), re…
