GH-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are synthetic peptides that like GHRH act directly on pituitary somatotrophs to stimulate GH release. GHRP-2, an investigational drug, is one of the most potent members of the GHRP family. It has been shown to be effective in adults via the oral and intranasal as well as the iv route of administration.
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 6 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 817.9 Dalton and a Molecular formula of C45H55N9O6.
Pralmorelin, also known as Growth hormone-releasing peptide 2 or GHRP-2, is an orally-active, synthetic peptide analogue of met-enkephalin that acts as a ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) agonist to selectively stimulate the ghrelin receptor and cause growth hormone release. Pralmorelin (GHRP-2) has been used clinically for the assessment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD), It has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity.
