Ipamorelin Sequence, Molecular Weight & Chemical Identity
3 min read•Published 2025-07-16•Quality Peptide USA Research
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and one of the most selective ghrelin-receptor (GHS-R1a) agonists available for research. Unlike earlier GH secretagogues, it shows minimal cross-reactivity at receptors involved in cortisol or prolactin signaling in in-vitro models. This guide covers sequence & structure for Ipamorelin — written for laboratory researchers sourcing US-synthesized peptides from Quality Peptide USA.
Primary Sequence
The primary sequence of Ipamorelin is recorded as: Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. Sequence integrity is verified during release testing using analytical reverse-phase HPLC compared against a reference standard, with mass spectrometry confirming the expected molecular ion.
Molecular Formula and Weight
Ipamorelin carries the molecular formula C38H49N9O5 and a calculated monoisotopic weight of approximately ≈ 711.85 g/mol. These values are essential for accurate molar-concentration calculations during reconstitution and for normalizing dose curves across studies.
Identifiers and Synonyms
CAS Registry: 170851-70-4. Ipamorelin is also referenced in the literature under its full chemical name and developmental designations. When searching publications, querying both the common and chemical names typically surfaces the broadest body of work.
Structural Notes for Researchers
Ipamorelin is supplied as a lyophilized solid with a white to off-white appearance. Researchers should reconstitute in sterile bacteriostatic water unless their assay calls for a specific buffer (e.g., 0.1% acetic acid for hydrophobic peptides). Quality Peptide USA publishes the full chemical-identity card on every product page so that incoming-QC checks can be performed against a known reference.
