Overview
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide growth-hormone secretagogue that agonizes the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). Among the secretagogue class it is noted for exceptional selectivity: in published characterizations it stimulates GH release without meaningfully affecting cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH — receptors where earlier-generation secretagogues showed off-target activity.
That selectivity makes ipamorelin a preferred tool compound when researchers need to isolate GHS-R1a-mediated effects from confounding hormonal noise in endocrine models. These are preclinical observations that do not establish clinical efficacy.
BioTech Pharma supplies ipamorelin as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only. Lot-specific analytical documentation may be available and should be confirmed for the applicable material.
Research Applications
- GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor) selectivity studies
- Growth-hormone pulsatility research
- Secretagogue comparative pharmacology
- Appetite-signaling pathway studies
- Receptor off-target screening baselines

Analytical Data
Lot-specific documentation may be available for the applicable material and must be confirmed per enquiry. Where available, it may include:
- HPLC purity result
- LC-MS identity confirmation
- Appearance
- Net content
Request the records you need with your quote and we will confirm availability for your batch.
Procurement Details
Availability, lead time, salt / content basis, and cold-chain requirements depend on the specific lot and quantity, so we confirm them per enquiry rather than publishing fixed figures. Request confirmation for your requirements with your quote and our team will respond with details for the applicable batch.
Storage & Handling
Lyophilized: store at −20 °C, protected from light. Reconstituted: keep at 2–8 °C and determine working-solution stability empirically per lot, as reconstituted stability varies with diluent, concentration, and handling.
