Chrysalin (TP508)

Overview

Chrysalin, also known as TP508, is a 23-amino acid synthetic peptide derived from the receptor-binding domain of human thrombin. It is designed to activate non-proteolytic thrombin receptors on endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and osteoblasts, thereby promoting angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, and bone repair. The peptide retains thrombin's tissue repair signaling properties without procoagulant activity.

Key Research Findings

Phase II trials in diabetic foot ulcers and fracture healing showed some evidence of accelerated wound closure and callus formation. However, subsequent phase III trials did not demonstrate statistically significant improvements in primary endpoints, and commercial development has been limited.

Route of Administration

Topical, Subcutaneous injection

BPC-157

Research Phase

A synthetic gastric pentadecapeptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis and the expression of growth factors including VEGF, EGF, and NO-mediated pathways. It has demonstrated cytoprotective and wound-healing properties across multiple tissue types in preclinical models, including tendon, muscle, ligament, and gastrointestinal mucosa.

TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4)

In Clinical Trials

Thymosin Beta-4 is a 43-amino acid actin-sequestering protein involved in cell migration, differentiation, and tissue repair. It promotes wound healing by upregulating cell-building proteins such as actin and laminin, facilitating cell migration to sites of injury. TB-500 also has anti-inflammatory properties mediated through NF-kB pathway modulation.

GHK-Cu

Research Phase

A naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. GHK-Cu activates tissue remodeling by stimulating collagen synthesis, glycosaminoglycan production, and angiogenesis while suppressing fibrinogen synthesis. It modulates the activity of matrix metalloproteinases and influences over 4,000 genes related to tissue repair.

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide)

Research Phase

A naturally occurring nonapeptide (Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu) originally isolated from cerebral venous blood of rabbits during induced sleep. DSIP modulates sleep architecture by promoting delta wave (slow-wave) sleep through interactions with the GABAergic system and hypothalamic sleep centers. It also exhibits stress-protective, analgesic, and neuromodulatory properties.
