P21 (P021) 5mg

P021, the CNTF-derived DGGL-adamantane peptidomimetic, 5 mg freeze-dried

P21 (P021) is a CNTF-derived peptidomimetic: the acetylated tetrapeptide Asp-Gly-Gly-Leu with a 3-aminoadamantane-1-carboxamide group on its C-terminus, theoretical mass 578.7 Da. This is the 5 mg vial of freeze-dried powder, half the 10 mg main fill, with its own lot and the certificate shown on this page. Studies of P021 have measured neurogenesis, BDNF and tau in aged rats and Alzheimer’s model mice.

Other fills

This is the 5 mg fill. The P21 (P021) 10mg page is the main listing for this compound, with the full research summary and every fill side by side. Other fills: 10 mg.

What the research covers

In aged Fisher rats, P021 reduced the age-related decline in learning and memory, raised BDNF and offset the drop in neurogenesis1. In 3xTg-AD mice it lowered tau hyperphosphorylation and soluble amyloid-beta over a 12-month study2. All of this work comes from one research group, and there are no human data. The P21 (P021) 10 mg page has the full research summary.

The P21 Peptide (P021) guide covers the literature in more depth.

How each lot is tested

Every lot is tested in PrymaLab’s own laboratory in Ashland, Kentucky before release: RP-HPLC for purity, LC-MS for identity, Karl Fischer titration for water, LAL for endotoxin and USP <71> for sterility. The results for the lot now shipping are in the certificate panel on this page, and the certificate number, key and QR code can be checked on the verify page. These are in-house results from PrymaLab Analytical, not an independent test, and the lab is not accredited to ISO 17025. The third-party testing guarantee on this page still applies: if any independent laboratory finds the wrong compound, or less than the stated purity or amount, the order is refunded and the cost of the test is reimbursed.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 5 mg vial the same compound as the 10 mg?

Yes. Both hold Ac-DGGL amidated with 3-aminoadamantane-1-carboxamide, C27H42N6O8, 578.7 Da. This fill holds about 8.6 µmol, and its lot is certified separately; the panel on this page shows the lot now shipping.

How should the vial be stored?

Sealed at −20 °C, desiccated and protected from light. Let it reach room temperature before opening so moisture does not condense on the powder, and keep any reconstituted solution at 2 to 8 °C, away from light.

Peptides Studied for Brain and Cognition: A Research Overview

Several research peptides are studied for how they affect the brain’s plasticity machinery in animal and cell models. This research-use-only overview compares four of the most-studied (Semax, Dihexa, PE-22-28, and P21), explains their different mechanisms, links to each full reference, and states what the models do and do not prove.
