BPC-157 10 mg

BPC-157 for research: identity and specifications

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide, a chain of 15 amino acids derived from a partial sequence described in human gastric juice. Supplied as a 10 mg vial of lyophilized powder made by solid-phase peptide synthesis, with no fillers, carriers or excipients, at ≥98% purity by HPLC, with the lot-specific value reported on the certificate of analysis.

Scientific background

BPC-157 belongs to the group of gastric-derived peptides studied in experimental models of cell signaling related to angiogenesis and tissue repair. In preclinical studies in rodents and in in vitro cell culture assays, the compound has been investigated for its role in nitric oxide (NO) pathways, in the recruitment of fibroblasts and endothelial cells, and in the integrity of the gastric mucosal epithelial barrier.

These findings are described in the literature as observations in experimental models, always under controlled bench conditions and without inferring any effect in humans or animals.

• Angiogenic signaling in endothelial culture models
• Nitric oxide (NO) pathways in vascular tissue preparations
• Fibroblast and endothelial cell recruitment in rodent tendon and ligament repair models
• Epithelial barrier integrity in gastric mucosa models

Technical specifications

Analytical quality and chain of custody

Every lot of BPC-157 is synthesized in registered facilities, with independent analytical verification by third-party laboratories and full chain-of-custody documentation. The certificate of analysis (COA) for each lot can be reviewed before purchase, recording HPLC purity and the other quality-control parameters used to release the material.

Reconstitution and laboratory handling

As a bench procedure, the lyophilized vial is reconstituted with a known volume of a suitable solvent, added along the inner wall of the vial, followed by gentle swirling until fully dissolved, without vigorous shaking. The reconstituted solution should be kept refrigerated and protected from light, and used in controlled assays within the stability period validated by the laboratory. Handling must be performed only by qualified personnel, in a bench environment suitable for in vitro experimentation, with lot number and storage conditions documented according to good laboratory practice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purity of the BPC-157 supplied?

≥98% by HPLC, with the lot-specific value reported on the certificate of analysis (COA).

Are BPC-157 and Body Protection Compound-157 the same compound?

Yes, they are names for the same pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids), identified by PubChem CID 9941957 and CAS number 137525-51-0. It is a distinct sequence from other peptides studied in tissue repair research, such as TB-500, which is derived from thymosin beta-4.

How should the compound be stored?

At -20 °C, protected from light and moisture, as a lyophilized powder until reconstitution.

Does the certificate of analysis come with the lot?

Yes, every lot has a matching COA that can be verified before purchase using the button on this page.
