Pentadeca Arginate
Also known as · PDA · BPC-157 arginate salt · PDA-157
Overview
An arginate-salt form of the BPC-157 sequence, prepared for improved stability in solution. Increasingly used in place of the acetate salt in tissue-repair research.
Research profile · for clinicians
Based on research: the repair pharmacology is inherited from the BPC-157 literature; what differs is formulation chemistry. No head-to-head trial has compared arginate against acetate in humans.
Mechanism of action
Same pentadecapeptide sequence as BPC-157 — angiogenic VEGFR2 signalling, nitric-oxide modulation, and fibroblast outgrowth — with the arginate counter-ion intended to reduce degradation in solution.
Research record
- [01]Rests on the ~25-year BPC-157 preclinical body of work.
- [02]No published comparative pharmacokinetic study of the arginate versus acetate form.
