SCIENTIFIC OVERVIEW
Scientific background and research classification for this laboratory reference material.
Tesamorelin (TH9507; CAS 218949-48-5) is a 44-residue GHRH analogue bearing an N-terminal trans-3-hexenoyl group, supplied as a laboratory reference material. Research use only.
Molecular interaction profile describing how this research material engages receptor systems and influences downstream biological signaling pathways.
Tesamorelin acts as a GHRH-receptor agonist: non-clinical pharmacology characterized TH9507 as a stabilized GHRH analogue that stimulates growth hormone secretion through the GHRH receptor pathway, with downstream elevation of IGF-1 observed in the referenced literature (Ferdinandi et al., 2007). Mechanistic attribution in this dossier is limited to the receptor-agonist pharmacology characterized in these studies.
