Compound Profile
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) consisting of the full 44-amino acid GHRH(1-44) sequence with a trans-3-hexenoic acid modification at the N-terminus. It has a molecular weight of 5136 g/mol and CAS number 218949-48-5. The modification enhances peptide stability and bioavailability while maintaining full GHRH receptor agonist activity.
Research demonstrates tesamorelin binds to and activates the GHRH receptor (GHRHR) on anterior pituitary somatotroph cells, stimulating synthesis and pulsatile release of endogenous growth hormone. Unlike exogenous GH administration, tesamorelin preserves the physiological feedback mechanisms of the GH-IGF-1 axis, maintaining pulsatile secretion patterns and hypothalamic-pituitary regulatory loops.
Clinical research has documented tesamorelin’s effects on visceral adipose tissue, with studies demonstrating significant reductions in trunk fat measured by CT scan. Research also shows improvements in lipid profiles including triglycerides and cholesterol ratios, as well as reductions in markers of cardiovascular risk. Studies in lipodystrophy models demonstrate selective reduction of visceral fat without significant effects on subcutaneous adipose tissue.
Emerging research explores tesamorelin’s cognitive effects, with studies showing improvements in executive function and verbal memory associated with increased IGF-1 levels, particularly in populations with reduced endogenous GH secretion.
Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized tesamorelin at greater than 99% purity, verified by independent HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis.
