What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a stable synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) with the sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val. It is derived from a region of the naturally occurring body protection compound (BPC) found in human gastric juice, first isolated and characterized in the early 1990s.
Unlike many peptides, BPC-157 demonstrates remarkable stability in human gastric juice — it does not degrade in the acidic environment of the stomach. This unusual stability has made it a subject of particular interest in gastrointestinal research and has led to the development of both injectable and oral research formulations.
BPC-157 has been extensively studied in animal models for its effects on wound healing, tendon and ligament repair, gastrointestinal mucosal protection, and angiogenesis. Peptx offers research-grade BPC-157 from 2mg to 20mg vials, sourced from suppliers vetted across independent lab testing (Janoshik, Uzorak) and community feedback.
Mechanism of Action
BPC-157's mechanisms are multifaceted and continue to be actively researched. Current evidence suggests several interconnected pathways.
Angiogenesis
BPC-157 has been shown to promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) through upregulation of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and its receptor VEGFR2 in preclinical models.
Nitric Oxide System
Research indicates BPC-157 interacts with the nitric oxide (NO) system, modulating NO synthase activity and influencing vascular tone, blood flow, and inflammatory responses.
Growth Factor Modulation
Studies suggest BPC-157 influences multiple growth factor pathways including EGF, FGF, and TGF-β, which collectively contribute to tissue repair and regeneration processes.
Research Applications
- Gastrointestinal Research: Investigating mucosal protection, ulcer healing, and gastrointestinal cytoprotection mechanisms in various gastric injury models.
- Tendon and Ligament Repair: Studying the effects on tendon-to-bone healing, collagen organisation, and mechanical strength recovery in tissue repair models.
- Wound Healing: Examining angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, and wound closure rates in cutaneous and deep tissue injury models.
- Neuroprotection: Investigating potential neuroprotective effects and peripheral nerve regeneration following injury in preclinical neuroscience research.
- Inflammatory Modulation: Studying the effects on inflammatory mediators, cytokine profiles, and resolution of inflammatory processes in various tissue types.
Storage, Handling, and Reconstitution
Long-Term Storage
Store unreconstituted lyophilized BPC-157 at -20°C. The peptide remains stable for 24+ months at this temperature when protected from light and moisture.
Short-Term Storage
Unreconstituted vials can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 90 days during active research use.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water or sterile water. BPC-157 is highly soluble in aqueous solution. Add solvent gently and swirl to dissolve.
Post-Reconstitution
Store at 2-8°C and use within 28 days. BPC-157 demonstrates good stability in solution but should still be aliquoted for extended storage.
