Product Overview
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide consisting of five amino acid residues. The sequence incorporates α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), Histidine, D-2-naphthylalanine (D-2Nal), D-phenylalanine, and Lysine, with a C-terminal amidation. The presence of a non-canonical amino acid (Aib) and two D-configuration amino acids provides a distinctive structural profile for analytical investigation.

Structural Context
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide featuring a combination of non-canonical and chiral amino acids. The N-terminal Aib residue provides conformational constraint to the backbone, while the inclusion of D-configuration residues (D-2-naphthylalanine and D-phenylalanine) creates a distinct stereochemical environment. The presence of bulky aromatic side chains (naphthyl and phenyl groups) alongside basic residues (Histidine and Lysine) offers a unique molecular architecture for analytical method development, chromatographic reference studies, and structural characterization in controlled laboratory settings.
Handling and Storage
The peptide is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form. For optimal stability, storage at or below -20°C is recommended. Protect from repeated freeze-thaw cycles and prolonged exposure to light and moisture.
Research Applications
This product is manufactured and supplied as a chemical reference standard for in-vitro laboratory research applications including analytical method development, chromatographic reference studies, stability assessments, and structural characterization in controlled laboratory environments.
