BPC-157 5 mg — reference profile

What this compound is

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide — fifteen amino acids — whose sequence derives from a protein found in gastric juice. It is stable in gastric conditions, which is unusual for a peptide of that size and is one reason it has been studied as much as it has.

Molecular profile

Composition: Pentadecapeptide, 15 amino acids. Molecular weight ≈ 1419 Da.

Molecular weight is the figure used to confirm identity by mass spectrometry: the measured mass is compared against the value calculated from the sequence, and agreement within instrument tolerance is what establishes that the material is the intended molecule rather than merely a pure one.

What published research has examined

Preclinical work has examined angiogenesis, gastrointestinal tissue models, and interactions with nitric oxide and growth-factor signalling. The great majority of the literature is in animal models.

This is a description of what has been studied, not a claim about outcomes and not a suggestion that anyone should use it. Research findings in cell culture or animal models do not transfer directly to any other setting.

Format and handling

Single vial of lyophilized material.

Supplied as a white lyophilized powder. Stable dry; solutions are handled cold.

Storage conditions and the expiry date on the label describe material kept as specified. A vial left at ambient temperature has not been stored as specified, whatever the date says.

Documentation and verification

Each batch carries a Certificate of Analysis stating purity, identity and the methods used. The outer box carries a printed RVL code which resolves against production records and returns the item, strength, batch number and dates.

The batch number should read the same on the vial, on the box and on the certificate. Where it does not, treat the material as undocumented until the discrepancy is explained.
