Ipamorelin (INN ) (developmental code name NNC 26-0161 ) is a peptide selective agonist of the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS) and a growth hormone secretagogue .[ 2] [ 3] It is a pentapeptide with the amino acid sequence Aib-His-D -2-Nal-D -Phe-Lys-NH2 that was derived from GHRP-1 .[ 4]
Ipamorelin significantly increases plasma growth hormone (GH) levels in both animals and humans.[ 1] [ 3] [ 5] In addition, ipamorelin stimulates body weight gain in animals.[ 5] Like pralmorelin and GHRP -6, ipamorelin does not affect prolactin , follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), or thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.[ 3] However, unlike pralmorelin (GHRP-2) and GHRP-6 , but similarly to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), ipamorelin does not stimulate the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), or cortisol , and is highly selective for inducing the secretion only of GH.[ 3]
Ipamorelin was originally developed by Novo Nordisk , and was investigated in phase II clinical trials by Helsinn Therapeutics for the treatment of postoperative ileus , but was discontinued due to lack of efficacy.[ 6] [ 7]
Ipamorelin has been used by athletes as a performance enhancing drug .[ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
