Research Overview
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) derived from a partial sequence of a cytoprotective protein found in human gastric juice. It was first described in research literature in the 1990s and has since become one of the most extensively studied structural peptides in preclinical models.
Research involving BPC-157 has been conducted across a broad range of tissue types, including gastric mucosa, tendons, ligaments, muscles, bone, and peripheral nerve tissue. In vitro studies have examined its effects on fibroblast migration and proliferation, cytokine modulation, and growth factor expression. Animal model studies have investigated its influence on tendon-to-bone healing, intestinal anastomosis, and angiogenesis.
BPC-157 is resistant to enzymatic degradation in gastric juice, which has made it a useful probe in stability and bioavailability research. It does not appear on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list as a specific compound, though researchers should verify current regulatory status for their jurisdiction.
