Biological Activity

[Description]:

BPC 157 is a stable gastric pentadecapeptide and a partial sequence of the human gastric juice protein BPC. BPC 157 is an anti-ulcer peptidergic agent with no reported toxicity. BPC 157 links inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis[1][2].

[In Vivo]

BPC 157 successfully heals the intestinal anastomosis, gastrocutaneous, duodenocutaneous and colocutaneous fistulas in rats, as well as interacting with the NO-system[1]. BPC 157 (10 μg/kg, 10 ng/kg) is applied either intraperitoneally once time daily (first application immediately after surgery, last at 24 hours before sacrifice) or per-orally in drinking water (0.16 μg/ml/12 ml/day till the sacrifice). A multiple sclerosis suited toxic rat model, cuprizone (compared with standard, a several times higher regimen, 2.5% of diet regimen + 1 g/kg intragastrically/day) was combined with BPC 157 (in drinking water 0.16 μg or 0.16 ng/ml/12 ml/day/rat + 10 μg or 10 ng/kg intragastrically/day) till the sacrifice at day 4. In general, the controls could not heal cysteamine colitis and colon-colon anastomosis. BPC 157 induced an efficient healing of both at the same time[2].
