BPC-157

Also known as Body Protection Compound 157

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide, a chain of 15 amino acids. Its sequence is a partial fragment of a larger protein first described in human gastric juice, which is where the name "Body Protection Compound" comes from.

Structure and form

Sequence	GEPPPGKPADDAGLV
Molecular formula	C62H98N16O22
Molecular weight	1419.5 g/mol
Form	Lyophilised powder
Storage	−20 °C, protect from light

Research background

Most published work on BPC-157 comes from laboratory and animal studies, much of it from one research group in Zagreb, Croatia.

Studies have used tissue models including tendon, ligament, muscle and the gastrointestinal tract, and have looked at interactions with growth-factor and nitric-oxide signalling pathways.

Human data is very limited. BPC-157 is not an approved medicine in the UK or elsewhere, and it appears on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list as a non-approved substance.

Storage and handling

Supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed 4 ml vial. Keep it sealed until use. Storage: −20 °C, protect from light. Once reconstituted, solutions are usually kept refrigerated at 2–8 °C and used promptly. Follow your laboratory's own protocols and safety data.
