Ipamorelin (NNC 26-0161, CAS# 170851-70-4) is a synthetic pentapeptide classified as a selective growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) agonist. Comprising five amino acids, it is among the most selective GHSR agonists studied in preclinical research, with a defined binding profile at GHSR-1a that is studied for its selectivity relative to other secretagogue peptides. Supplied by NexPept as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research use. This compound has not been authorized by Health Canada for any therapeutic, clinical, or human use.

In Vitro Research Context
Receptor pharmacology — laboratory use only
Receptor pharmacology — laboratory use only
A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in endocrine signalling regulation. Ipamorelin is studied for its selective agonist activity at GHSR-1a in receptor binding assays, selectivity profiling studies, and endocrine signalling pathway models. Its selectivity relative to other GHSR-targeting peptides makes it a useful comparator compound in structure–function research.
Ipamorelin is studied in preclinical in vitro settings as a selective pharmacological tool for investigating GHSR-1a receptor binding and downstream signalling. Its defined selectivity profile — distinct from broader-acting secretagogue peptides — makes it particularly relevant for comparative receptor pharmacology studies and for isolating GHSR-1a-specific signalling cascades in controlled laboratory models.
Research context: Ipamorelin is an investigational synthetic pentapeptide studied in scientific research involving GHSR-1a signalling and endocrine pathway models. It has not been authorized by Health Canada for human or veterinary use.
