Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ipamorelin, also known as NNC-26-0161, is a a ghrelin mimetic. Ipamorelin counteracts glucocorticoid-induced decrease in bone formation of adult rats. Ipamorelin may ameliorate the symptoms in patients with POI. Ipamorelin accelerates gastric emptying in a rodent model of postoperative ileus through the stimulation of gastric contractility by activating a ghrelin receptor-mediated mechanism involving cholinergic excitatory neurons.

Product Data
Biological target:
Ipamorelin, also known as NNC-26-0161, is a a ghrelin mimetic.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
As illustrated in Figure 3A, rats that received the highest dose of IPAM (ipamorelin) (1 mg/kg i.v.) had a significantly lower number of abdominal contractions at 40 mmHg (p<0.0001) and 60 mmHg (p<0.0001). Administration of the ghrelin antagonist H0900 prevented the anti-nociceptive effects of IPAM (1 mg/kg) as this study observed an effect of pressure (F(3, 48)=146.2, p<0.0001), but not treatment (F(1, 48)=0.3262, p=0.5706) (Figure 3B).
