Reading time: ~2 min · Part of the free certification in peptide science

06

TB-500 (Thymosin β4)

Tissue repair
  • Class: synthetic fragment of the active domain of thymosin β4.
  • Target / mechanism: G-actin binding and regulation of the cytoskeleton → cell migration, angiogenesis and repair (including cardiac models).
  • Key pharmacology: good tissue diffusion; often studied in combination with BPC-157.
  • Context: preclinical research on recovery and regeneration.
07

GHK-Cu

Dermal · repair
  • Class: tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) complexed with copper(II).
  • Target / mechanism: extracellular matrix remodeling (collagen, elastin, metalloproteinases) and broad modulation of gene expression toward a regenerative profile.
  • Key pharmacology: high affinity for copper; studied by topical and systemic routes.
  • Context: wound healing, dermal health and aesthetics.
08

Ipamorelin

Somatotropic · GHRP
  • Class: GH secretagogue, ghrelin mimetic (GHS-R).
  • Target / mechanism: selective stimulation of GH release with minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin.
  • Key pharmacology: "clean" profile because of its selectivity; short-acting.
  • Context: frequently combined with CJC-1295 for GHRH+GHRP synergy.
09

CJC-1295

Somatotropic · GHRH
  • Class: long-acting GHRH analog.
  • Target / mechanism: GHRH receptor in the pituitary; stimulation of the GH pulse.
  • Key pharmacology: form without DAC (resistant to DPP-4, medium action) and with DAC (albumin binding, prolonged action).
  • Context: canonical combination with ipamorelin.
10

Tesamorelin

Somatotropic · GHRH
  • Class: stabilized GHRH analog.
  • Target / mechanism: GHRH receptor; stimulation of the GH/IGF-1 axis with a characteristic impact on fat distribution (visceral fat).
  • Key pharmacology: the GHRH analog with the most established formal clinical development.
  • Context: the clinical reference among GHRH analogs.
