Overview

Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), modified at the N-terminus with a trans-3-hexenoic acid group to confer resistance to enzymatic degradation. The compound is supplied as a research-grade lyophilized peptide, intended for in-vitro GHRH receptor research, growth hormone axis pathway studies, and analytical method development. SPK Pharma India supplies Tesamorelin as a documented, lot-traceable research compound for distributors, contract manufacturers, and academic laboratories. The compound is supplied for research and analytical applications only.

Research context

Tesamorelin is a well-characterised research tool in the growth hormone axis. The GHRH receptor (GHRHR) is a Class B G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in the anterior pituitary, and the trans-3-hexenoic acid N-terminal modification of Tesamorelin confers resistance to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) cleavage, which extends the in-vitro half-life of the analogue relative to native GHRH 1-44. In-vitro receptor-binding assays, cAMP signalling studies, and downstream pathway analysis in GHRHR-expressing cell lines are the typical research applications.

The compound is also used as a research comparator to native GHRH 1-44 and to shorter GHRH analogues such as CJC-1295 without DAC, to characterise the contribution of the N-terminal modification to receptor engagement and downstream signalling. SPK Pharma India does not make therapeutic, clinical, diagnostic, or dosing claims for this product. The compound is supplied strictly for in-vitro research, analytical method development, and reference-standard work.

For researchers new to the compound, the standard analytical reference points are CAS 218949-48-5, the 44-amino-acid backbone, the trans-3-hexenoic acid N-terminal modification, the approximate molecular weight of 5,135.78 g/mol, the lyophilized powder form, and the documented purity threshold (≥99% HPLC). The full amino acid sequence is disclosed on the lot-matched COA and on the product specification sheet.

Packaging and supply

  • 5 mg research vial — for method development, receptor-binding assays, and reference-standard qualification. Standard MOQ: 5 vials.
  • 10 mg research vial — for ongoing research programmes with higher per-assay demand. Standard MOQ: 2 vials.
  • 20 mg research vial — for higher-mass research programmes. Standard MOQ: 2 vials.
  • Bulk pack — on application, for annual supply contracts and recurring orders.

Distributor pricing is available on application. Annual supply contracts with scheduled recurring dispatch are available for repeat buyers. Lead time for in-stock SKUs is typically 5 business days from purchase order confirmation; lead time for scheduled production is typically 4 to 6 weeks.

Quality and documentation

Every lot of Tesamorelin ships with a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis documenting identity (mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis), purity (HPLC), appearance, lot number, and synthesis batch reference. A representative sample of every lot is independently verified by a third-party analytical laboratory before release. MSDS is supplied with every shipment. The COA template, the lot-traceability workflow, and the third-party verification scope are documented on the Quality page.

Storage and handling

  • Store at -20°C in the original sealed container.
  • Protect from light and moisture.
  • Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening, to avoid condensation.
  • Reconstitute in sterile, low-endotoxin research-grade water or in a mild buffer at the working concentration required by the assay.
  • Do not refreeze once reconstituted; aliquot and store at working concentration.
  • Avoid vigorous vortexing; allow gentle dissolution to minimise aggregation.

Shipping

Tesamorelin is shipped lyophilized in sealed vials within temperature-validated packaging. International lanes are routed through dedicated life-science logistics partners with cold-chain handling.
