Compound Reference Log
A factual, in-depth reference for every research compound — what it is, what its name means, its structure, where it came from, why it was created, and how it is made. Sourced, no hype, negatives included. Every page can be read aloud.

Neuro & Cognitive (6)
SemaxA synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide based on a short fragment of the hormone ACTH, studied mainly within Russian neuroscience research.Read the full reference →SelankA synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide based on the natural immunopeptide tuftsin, studied mainly for anxiety-related behaviour in Russian research.Read the full reference →DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide)A naturally occurring nine-amino-acid peptide first isolated from the blood of sleeping rabbits and named for an EEG effect, with a still-uncertain physiological role.Read the full reference →Epithalon (Epitalon)A synthetic four-amino-acid peptide modelled on a pineal-gland extract, associated with a single research group’s longevity and telomerase claims.Read the full reference →PinealonA synthetic three-amino-acid peptide from the Russian “short peptide bioregulator” programme, studied preclinically as a proposed neuroprotectant.Read the full reference →AdamaxA name circulated in the research-peptide community for which no canonical structure or peer-reviewed characterisation could be verified.Read the full reference →

Growth-Hormone Axis (6)
CJC-1295 (DAC)A long-acting analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone that carries an added chemical group designed to bind serum albumin and slow its clearance.Read the full reference →CJC-1295 (no-DAC)The stabilized GHRH(1-29) peptide known as Modified GRF 1-29 — the same backbone as CJC-1295 but without the albumin-binding complex, so it is short-acting.Read the full reference →IpamorelinA synthetic pentapeptide that activates the ghrelin receptor, designed to prompt growth-hormone release with relatively little effect on other hormones.Read the full reference →SermorelinThe 1-29 amino-acid fragment of human growth-hormone-releasing hormone — the shortest portion that keeps the hormone’s full activity.Read the full reference →GHRH AnalogA general class of peptides engineered from growth-hormone-releasing hormone to alter its stability, potency, or duration of action.Read the full reference →IGF-1 LR3An 83-amino-acid recombinant analog of insulin-like growth factor 1, engineered with an arginine substitution and an N-terminal extension to reduce binding-protein affinity.Read the full reference →
◆
Metabolic & Energy (7)
Bio R/3An engineered incretin-class peptide designed to engage three metabolic receptors — GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon — studied as a research tool for glucose and energy-balance signaling.Read the full reference →Bio S/1A single-target engineered incretin peptide built to selectively engage the GLP-1 receptor, used as a research reference for glucose-dependent insulin signaling.Read the full reference →Bio T/2A dual-receptor engineered incretin peptide designed to engage both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, used as a research reference for combined incretin signaling.Read the full reference →Amylin AnalogA long-acting engineered analog of the pancreatic hormone amylin, used as a research reference for amylin-receptor signaling in satiety and glucose regulation.Read the full reference →AOD-9604A short synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone, studied historically as a research tool for fat-metabolism signaling.Read the full reference →MOTS-cA short mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, studied as a research signal in cellular metabolism and stress response.Read the full reference →5-Amino-1MQA small synthetic organic molecule studied in research as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).Read the full reference →

Hormones & Signaling (8)
Kisspeptin-10Kisspeptin-10 is the ten-residue C-terminal fragment of the KISS1 gene product that retains the ability to activate the kisspeptin receptor.Read the full reference →HCGHCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a two-subunit glycoprotein hormone of placental origin, not a chemically synthesized peptide.Read the full reference →OxytocinOxytocin is a nine-amino-acid cyclic peptide hormone and the first peptide hormone to have its structure confirmed by chemical synthesis.Read the full reference →Melanotan IIMelanotan II is a synthetic cyclic seven-residue analog of alpha-MSH designed as a broad melanocortin-receptor agonist.Read the full reference →MC3R/MC4RMC3R and MC4R are two melanocortin receptors — cell-surface targets, not peptides — central to how melanocortin signaling influences energy balance.Read the full reference →NAD+NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a small-molecule coenzyme central to cellular metabolism — it is not a peptide.Read the full reference →GlutathioneGlutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide antioxidant with an unusual gamma-linkage — made biologically, not by stepwise peptide synthesis.Read the full reference →Lipo-CLipo-C is a compounded lipotropic blend of several ingredients, not a single molecule or a defined peptide.Read the full reference →
