ACTH 1-14 acetate(25696-21-3 free base) (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Fragment 1-14 acetate) is a fragment of adrenocorticotrophin, which regulates cortisol and androgen production.Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. ACTH is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as a response to biological stress.

Tetracosactide (Tetracosactrin) (INN) is a synthetic peptide that is identical to the 24-amino acid segment (sequence: SYSMEHFRWGKPVGKKRRPVKVYP) at the N-terminal of adrenocorticotropic hormone.

Cosyntropin (acetate) stimulates the release of corticosteroids such as cortisol from the adrenal gland.

ACTH (1-13) is a 13-aa peptide with cytoprotective effects in a model of ethanol-induced gastric lesions in rats. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and plays a critical role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in response to biological stress.

Nonapeptide-1 (Melanostatine-5) acetate salt is a peptide hormone that functions as a selective and competitive antagonist of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) with a binding affinity (K i) of 40 nM. It effectively inhibits α-MSH-induced increases in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) and melanosome dispersion in melanocytes, with inhibitory concentrations (IC 50) of 2.5 nM and 11 nM, respectively. By inhibiting melanin synthesis, Nonapeptide-1 acetate salt is used in research related to skin pigmentation, adrenal gland steroid production regulation, and skin cancer [1] [2] [3].

Hydrin 1′, isolated from the neurohypophysis of Xenopus, exhibits significant steroid-releasing activity in the species' adrenal gland in vitro [1].

PACAP (6-27) (human, ovine, rat) is an antagonist for the PACAP receptor, inhibiting the catecholamine response of the canine adrenal gland to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), making it a valuable compound for research into cardiovascular and neurological disorders [1].

PACAP-related peptide (PRP) is an endogenous 29-amino acid peptide that belongs to the secretin/glucagon superfamily of peptides, which includes secretin , glucagon , glucagon-like peptide-1 , GLP-2 , and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide . It is expressed in normal human pancreas and adrenal gland tissue and in some tumors that produce vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). PRP (1-29) is secreted by CHO-K1 cells that express human recombinant preproPACAP.
