ACVR2B-Fc
A fusion protein combining the activin IIB receptor with antibody Fc domain. Phase II trials in Duchenne MD showed significant muscle mass increase but were halted due to nosebleeds and gum bleeding.
Tymlos
A PTHrP analog that stimulates bone formation with potentially fewer side effects than teriparatide. Represents a newer anabolic option for osteoporosis management.
Angiomax
A synthetic direct thrombin inhibitor derived from hirudin used as an anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention procedures.
Miacalcin
A thyroid hormone that inhibits bone resorption. Salmon calcitonin demonstrates 40-50x greater potency than human forms.
Cortrosyn
A synthetic fragment of ACTH used to diagnose adrenal insufficiency. The standard test for evaluating adrenal function. Contains the first 24 amino acids of ACTH.
DDAVP
Synthetic vasopressin analog that selectively activates V2 receptors in kidneys, promoting water reabsorption.
Integrilin
A cyclic peptide that inhibits platelet aggregation. Used during coronary interventions to prevent clot formation. Derived from a protein in pygmy rattlesnake venom.
FST
A naturally occurring protein that inhibits myostatin. Studied for muscle growth and dystrophy conditions.
GlucaGen
Life-saving treatment for severe hypoglycemia since the 1960s. Newer formulations include nasal spray (Baqsimi) and stable liquid (Gvoke).
GnRH
A synthetic version of gonadotropin-releasing hormone used diagnostically and therapeutically for reproductive conditions.
Regular Insulin
The essential peptide hormone for glucose metabolism. Multiple formulations from rapid to long-acting available for diabetes management.
Kisspeptin-10
A neuropeptide that plays a critical role in initiating puberty and regulating the reproductive hormone axis.
Somatuline
A somatostatin analog that binds preferentially to SST2 and SST5 receptors for treatment of acromegaly and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Lupron
A GnRH agonist suppressing testosterone and estrogen production, approved for prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and precocious puberty.
Linzess
A peptide activator of guanylate cyclase-C for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and chronic idiopathic constipation, with localized gut action and minimal systemic uptake.
Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c
A mitochondria-derived peptide that regulates metabolic homeostasis, discovered in 2015 and studied for insulin sensitivity, exercise capacity, and aging effects.
Macrilen
An oral ghrelin mimetic for diagnosing adult growth hormone deficiency. The first FDA-approved oral GH stimulation test. 92% concordance with insulin tolerance testing.
MT-II
A synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Known for inducing skin tanning and having effects on libido and sexual function.
Sandostatin
A somatostatin analog that binds to SST2 and SST5 receptors, suppressing GH, glucagon, insulin, and gastrointestinal hormones.
Pitocin
A naturally occurring peptide hormone essential for social bonding, childbirth, and lactation. Under investigation for autism, anxiety, and social disorders.
Bremelanotide
An FDA-approved melanocortin receptor agonist for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women.
Signifor
A somatostatin analog with broader receptor binding than octreotide, particularly effective for Cushing's disease due to SST5 receptor activity.
Somavert
A GH receptor antagonist that blocks growth hormone action. Used for acromegaly when surgery and somatostatin analogs fail to normalize IGF-1. ~90% achieve normal IGF-1.
Trulance
A uroguanylin analog for chronic constipation and IBS-C, engineered to mimic a naturally occurring peptide. pH-sensitive activation may provide more targeted action in the small intestine.
