Tesamorelin (TH9507, CAS# 218949-48-5) is a synthetic analogue of human growth hormone releasing hormone (hGHRH) comprising the full 44-amino-acid GHRH sequence with a trans-3-hexenoic acid group conjugated at the N-terminus. This N-terminal modification confers enhanced resistance to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) enzymatic cleavage while preserving full GHRHR binding activity, making Tesamorelin a distinct pharmacological research tool compared to shorter GHRH fragments such as Sermorelin (29 AA) or Mod GRF 1-29. Supplied by NexPept as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research use. This compound has not been authorized by Health Canada for any therapeutic, clinical, or human use.

In Vitro Research Context
Receptor pharmacology & N-terminal modification — laboratory use only
Receptor pharmacology & N-terminal modification — laboratory use only
A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates the effects of endogenous GHRH via cAMP/PKA signalling cascades in pituitary cell models. Tesamorelin binds GHRHR with full-agonist activity across the complete 44-AA GHRH sequence, enabling research applications that examine the contribution of the full peptide length — and each sequence segment — to receptor engagement kinetics and downstream signalling, which shorter GHRH fragments cannot fully replicate.
Tesamorelin’s trans-3-hexenoic acid group is conjugated to the N-terminus of the full 44-AA GHRH sequence. This modification sterically shields the Tyr¹-Ala² dipeptide from cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), the enzyme responsible for rapid inactivation of unmodified GHRH in biological systems. The modification is studied in the context of DPP-IV stability assays, N-terminal conjugation effects on GHRHR binding kinetics, and comparative stability profiling of GHRH analogues.
Tesamorelin is studied in preclinical in vitro settings as a DPP-IV-resistant, full-length GHRH analogue. Its research utility spans GHRHR pharmacology, comparative GHRH analogue structure–activity studies, and N-terminal modification effects on peptide stability and receptor binding. The table below positions Tesamorelin relative to the other GHRH-class compounds in the NexPept catalogue:
| Compound | Length | Key Structural Feature | Signalling Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sermorelin | 29 AA | Shortest active GHRH fragment | Short-duration pulsatile |
| CJC-1295 No DAC | 29 AA | 4-substitution stabilised GHRH analogue | Short-duration pulsatile |
| CJC-1295 With DAC | 29 AA | DAC maleimide — albumin conjugation | Prolonged (albumin-bound) |
| Tesamorelin | 44 AA | Full-length + trans-3-hexenoic acid (DPP-IV resistant) | Full-sequence GHRHR engagement |
Research context: Tesamorelin is an investigational synthetic GHRH analogue studied in scientific research involving GHRHR signalling, DPP-IV enzymatic stability, and full-length GHRH analogue pharmacology. It has not been authorized by Health Canada for human or veterinary use.
