BPC-157

Research overview

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic 15-amino-acid fragment of a protein found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most widely cited peptides in preclinical repair research, with the bulk of the literature coming from rodent models of soft-tissue, bone and gastrointestinal injury.

Research interest centers on its interactions with the nitric-oxide system, VEGFR2-mediated angiogenesis and growth-factor expression in injured tissue. The lyophilized peptide is stable at room temperature for shipping and dissolves readily in bacteriostatic water.

Areas of published research

• Tendon, ligament and muscle healing in rodent transection models
• Gastric and intestinal mucosal injury and ulcer models
• Angiogenesis and VEGFR2 signaling
• Nitric-oxide system interactions

Storage and handling

• Lyophilized vials: store at −20 °C for long-term storage, or 2–8 °C for up to several weeks. Keep sealed and protected from light.
• Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening, so moisture does not condense on the cold powder.
• After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
• Add diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently; do not shake.
