Neuropeptides
Neuropeptides act as signalling molecules within the central nervous system, typically at concentrations far below those of classical neurotransmitters and often with slower, more sustained receptor engagement. Several of the best-studied synthetic examples are short analogs of endogenous fragments, stabilised against enzymatic degradation by an added terminal sequence such as Pro-Gly-Pro.
They are grouped by where they act, not by structure.

CompareChoosing between these
What separates each of these from the others in the class.
- PT-141 10 mg
The active metabolite of melanotan II, with activity concentrated at MC3R and MC4R rather than MC1R. That narrower subtype coverage is exactly why the two are usually studied as a pair.
Certificate of analysis → - Selank 5 mg
A heptapeptide analog of the endogenous tetrapeptide tuftsin. Associated with GABAergic and monoamine signalling.
Certificate of analysis → - Semax 10 mg
A heptapeptide analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, associated with BDNF-pathway work. Structurally parallel to Selank — both carry the same Pro-Gly-Pro stabilising tail — which is why the two are so often compared directly.
Certificate of analysis → - DSIP 15 mg
Endogenous rather than a synthetic analog, and nine residues rather than seven. The outlier of the three, associated with delta-wave EEG and neuroendocrine signalling.
Certificate of analysis → - Epithalon 50 mg
Four residues, the shortest sequence here. Associated with telomerase-expression work and the pineal peptide literature.
