Overview

Ipamorelin (INN; development code NNC 26-0161) is a synthetic pentapeptide and selective agonist of the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a). It was originally developed by Novo Nordisk in the late 1990s as part of a systematic chemistry programme aimed at identifying highly selective growth hormone-releasing compounds. Ipamorelin was derived from GHRP-1 through the elimination of the central Ala-Trp dipeptide motif, which produced a compound with refined receptor selectivity.

Its primary mechanism of action is stimulation of growth hormone (GH) release from pituitary somatotrophs via the ghrelin receptor pathway. What distinguishes ipamorelin within the GHRP class is its specificity: unlike GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, ipamorelin does not significantly elevate cortisol, ACTH, prolactin, FSH, LH, or TSH at doses many times the threshold required for GH stimulation. This selectivity profile has been the primary driver of its research interest.

Ipamorelin has been evaluated in Phase II clinical trials - specifically for the treatment of postoperative ileus (delayed return of gastrointestinal motility following surgery), which provides a basis of human pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data not available for many research peptides.

Origin: Developed by Novo Nordisk in the 1990s. Derived from GHRP-1 through targeted modification to improve GH release selectivity. The result was the first GHS-R agonist with a selectivity profile comparable to endogenous GHRH.

Research Context: One of the more studied GHRPs with both preclinical animal data and human Phase II trial data (postoperative ileus, NCT00672074). Evidence base spans GH pharmacokinetics, bone metabolism, and gastrointestinal motility.

Certificate of Analysis

Every batch of Ipamorelin supplied by Pure Grade Labs is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an independent third-party analytical laboratory. The COA confirms identity, purity by HPLC, and absence of contaminants. Batch-specific documentation is linked below.

Storage Requirements

Ipamorelin is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) solid. As a small pentapeptide (711.85 g/mol), it is generally more stable than larger peptide sequences but remains sensitive to moisture, heat, and repeated freeze-thaw cycling. Follow the specifications below to preserve compound integrity.

Temperature: -20°C Long-term storage. For short-term use (up to 4 weeks), 2-8°C is acceptable.

Light Sensitivity: Light-Sensitive. Store in original opaque vial. Avoid direct UV or prolonged exposure to light.

Shelf Life: 24 Months. Lyophilized, sealed, stored at -20°C. Batch expiry printed on vial label.

Preparation Notes

  1. Allow the sealed vial to reach room temperature before opening to minimise moisture introduction.
  2. Use bacteriostatic water (BAC water) as the reconstitution solvent. Add solvent slowly down the inside wall of the vial - do not inject directly onto the lyophilised cake.
  3. Gently swirl the vial until fully dissolved. Do not vortex or shake vigorously. Ipamorelin dissolves readily due to its small molecular weight.
  4. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C. Use within 28 days. Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
  5. Discard if solution appears cloudy, discoloured, or contains particulate matter
