Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC-157 (also known as PL 14736, Body Protection Compound 157, or Bepecin) is a chain of fifteen amino acids oligopeptide derived from human gastric juice.[1] The amino acid sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val.[2]

BPC-157 is stable at room temperature and is resistant to hydrolysis, enzyme digestion, and gastric juice.[3]

Research

[edit]

There are some tentative pre-clinical studies on animals and in vitro suggesting possible benefit in wound healing and bowel disorders although all of these studies come from a single research group.[4][5]

Preclinical studies and limited clinical trials have indicated that BPC-157 may have cytoprotective, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects, and may accelerate tissue healing.[6][7][8][9]

Ban and Marketing

[edit]

BPC 157 is marketed in functional medicine, although, FDA approval is not issued yet for it to be used in standard medicine.[10]

As of 2022, the peptide is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency under the S0 category of non-exempt substances.[11]
