Research Compounds

Melanocortin receptor agonist studied for its role in libido and sexual health in both men and women.

Mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds directly to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing membrane structure and reducing oxidative stress at the site of energy production.

Synthetic pan-agonist of the estrogen-related receptor family (ERRα/β/γ) developed at Saint Louis University, studied for activating exercise-associated transcriptional programs — mitochondrial biogenesis, fatty-acid oxidation, and oxidative metabolism — without physical exertion.

Synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied for its role in telomerase activation, cellular longevity, and regulation of the pineal gland's melatonin output.

Mitochondrial-derived peptide that regulates metabolic homeostasis, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports cellular energy production. Active in clinical trials for metabolic disease.

Naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) studied for skin regeneration, wound healing, hair follicle stimulation, and collagen synthesis. Declines naturally with age.

Coenzyme central to mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, and cellular longevity. Levels decline with age; supplementation is studied for metabolic health, cognitive function, and healthspan.

Nonapeptide first isolated from rabbit cerebral venous blood in the 1970s, studied for slow-wave sleep promotion, stress-axis modulation, and opioid-withdrawal research — despite decades of study, its receptor and precursor gene remain unidentified.

The body's master antioxidant — a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine that neutralizes reactive oxygen species, recycles vitamins C and E, and drives phase-II liver detoxification. Studied for oxidative-stress modulation, hepatic function, and as a research reference for cellular redox balance.
