Growth-hormone secretagogue
Also known as: Ipamorelin acetate, NNC 26-0161
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide growth-hormone secretagogue that activates the ghrelin receptor (GHSR1a). It was designed to stimulate pulsatile growth-hormone release with less ACTH or cortisol stimulation than some earlier secretagogues.

What we know
The project separates represented evidence from qualification, contradiction, uncertainty, and what the evidence does not establish.
Reconciled domain conclusions
Ipamorelin no longer relies on the legacy “no public claim” state. Each research domain publishes a bounded conclusion, confidence level, evidence synthesis, limitations, geographic applicability, regulatory interpretation, and research gaps.

25 of 63 screening records carry a machine-proposed evidence-strength grade; the remainder are unassigned pending further review.
Tier classifies source design and evidentiary role. Confidence reflects risk of bias, sample size, comparator quality, outcome relevance, follow-up, missing data, directness, replication, reporting quality, and whether conclusions stay within the measured results.
Funding and conflicts are disclosed and considered, but sponsorship never automatically changes a tier. Corrections, retractions, and expressions of concern override the original rating.

Regenerative peptides (e.g., body protection compound-157 and thymosin derivatives) and growth hormone axis secretagogues (e.g., CJC-1295, ipamorelin, and tesamorelin) remain investigational, with uncertain safety profiles, product quality concerns, and widespread antidopi …

The agents most commonly encountered in clinical practice and online self-administration protocols include growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogues (e.g., sermorelin, tesamorelin, CJC-1295 with Drug Affinity Complex [DAC], CJC-1295 without DAC), growth hormone secretagog …

The goal of this study was to investigate whether ipamorelin, a synthetic peptidomimetic that acts on the ghrelin receptor, accelerates gastric emptying in a rodent model of gastroparesis induced by abdominal surgery and intestinal manipulation. ...Following abdominal surg …

Additionally, three analogues of GHRPs were identified as Gly-GHRP-6, Gly-GHRP-2 and Gly-Ipamorelin, representing the corresponding GHRP extended by a N-terminal glycine residue. The structure of these peptides was characterised by means of high resolution (tandem) mass sp …
