A synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric juice, studied for its regenerative and protective properties.
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic peptides are short-chain amino acids that regulate cellular functions and facilitate biochemical processes. In recent years, there has been significant growth in the global market for therapeutic peptides and thus its populari…
This review explores the therapeutic potential of the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 in addressing electrolyte imbalances, specifically hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypermagnesemia, and hyperlithiemia. In hyperkalemia, BPC 157 demonstrated a c…
Therapeutic peptides are emerging as promising adjuncts in the management of orthopaedic injuries, grounded in their ability to modulate molecular signaling networks central to cellular medicine. By acting on key pathways such as PI3K/Akt, mTOR, MAPK…
This 7-day rat tracheocutaneous fistula study considered the not-studied issues of tracheocutaneous fistula course, wound healing, and fistula in the NO-system relations. Therefore, we focused on fistulas' severe course, tracheocutaneous fistula → ai…
No Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy studies have directly evaluated adrenalectomy vessels, the technique's established ability to probe collagen/elastin-associated spectral features and lipid peroxidation-related signatures, and protein…
This review examines and hypothesizes cytoprotection as a conceptual therapeutic criterion for antiarrhythmic drugs, referring to the possibility of suppressing arrhythmias while avoiding adverse electrophysiological or systemic effects. Toward a the…
As a novel theoretical and practical advantage, preclinical to clinical evidence, this systematic review of PRP, growth factors, and stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 efficacy in complex musculoskeletal and junctional injuries emphasizes the cy…
This review presents an innovative and timely exploration of how cytoprotection can serve as a cohesive therapeutic approach by which to address the hemorrhage-thrombosis paradox. Presenting counteraction of both hemorrhage and thrombosis as phase-de…
Body Protective Compound-157 (BPC-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from gastric proteins that has demonstrated notable reparative and anti-inflammatory properties across diverse preclinical models. Experimental evidence reveals that BPC-1…
In this study, pharmacotherapies of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in animal studies were reviewed from the perspective of ACS/IAH as failed cytoprotection issues, as non-specific injuries, and from the po…
BACKGROUND: For years, the peptide Body Protection Compound 157 (BPC-157) has been used to treat partial muscle or tendon tears. Few studies on humans have been published, with none on the intravenous use of BPC-157 in humans. OBJECTIVE: This IRB-app…
BPC 157, known as the "Body Protection Compound", is a pentadecapeptide isolated from human gastric juice that demonstrated its pleiotropic beneficial effects in various preclinical models mimicking medical conditions, such as tissue injury, inflamma…
High-level athletes and bodybuilders are constantly seeking novel therapies to enhance recovery and expedite return from injury-injectable peptides are a new and trending therapy that may be the wave of the future in the realm of regenerative medicin…
Although approached through many concepts, the pleiotropic healing issue, specifically, maintaining/reestablishing tissue integrity, remains a central challenge in pharmacology, particularly when the process is misdirected or not properly controlled.…
: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury can affect multiple distant organs following I/R in the lower extremities. BPC-157's anti-inflammatory and free radical-neutralizing properties suggest its potential in mitigating ischemia-reperfusion damage. This…
To better address the challenge of corneal ulcer healing, with already available standard agents, and those recently introduced, such as stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157, we introduced a novel conceptual framework-the "triad" of corneal ulcer…
UNLABELLED: The article has been withdrawn at the author's request from the website of the journal Current Neuropharmacology. Bentham Science apologizes to the readers of the journal for any inconvenience this may have caused. The Bentham Editorial P…
The healing issue is a central, not completely understood, problem in pharmacology, approached by many concepts. One of the most well-known is Robert's and Szabo's concept of cytoprotection, which holds innate cell (epithelial (Robert), endothelial (…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This scoping review aims to evaluate the molecular mechanisms, therapeutic potential, and safety concerns of Body Protective Compound-157 (BPC-157) in the context of musculoskeletal healing. Given the compound’s increasing availabi…
BACKGROUND: This is a novel rat study using native peptide therapy, focused on reversing quadriceps muscle-to-bone detachment to reattachment and stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 per-oral therapy for shared muscle healing and function restorat…
