- Epithalon
- Telomerase activation via pineal regulation
- Pineal gland, telomeres
- Cellular senescence, circadian studies
- 30 minutes
- Daily (10–20 day cycles)
- Best for aging research where systemic neuroendocrine signalling is intact. Ineffective in isolated cell systems
- BPC-157
- VEGF pathway activation, angiogenesis
- GI tract, connective tissue
- Wound healing, tissue repair
- 30 minutes (tissue persistence 4–6 hrs)
- Once or twice daily
- Gold standard for acute injury models. Effects observable within 7–10 days
- TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4)
- Actin sequestration, cell migration
- Muscle, cardiac tissue
- Muscle repair, inflammation
- 6–8 hours
- Once daily
- Preferred for skeletal/cardiac studies requiring cytoskeletal reorganisation
- GHRP-2
- Growth hormone secretagogue receptor agonist
- Pituitary gland
- GH release studies, body composition
- 20–30 minutes (GH pulse 2–3 hrs)
- 1–3 times daily
- Requires pulsatile dosing to mimic physiological GH secretion patterns
- MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
- Ghrelin mimetic, sustained GH elevation
- Pituitary, hypothalamus
- Long-term GH studies
- 4–6 hours
- Oral bioavailability allows sustained GH elevation without injections
- Selank
- Enkephalin modulation, anxiolytic
- CNS (limbic system)
- Anxiety, cognitive function
- 20–30 minutes
- Multiple daily doses or intranasal
- Anxiolytic without sedation. Mechanism distinct from GABAergic compounds
