Peptide Therapeutics

Meaning

Peptide therapeutics are a class of pharmacological agents composed of short chains of amino acids that mimic or modulate the activity of naturally occurring regulatory peptides within the body. These therapies are designed to leverage the high specificity and low toxicity profiles of endogenous peptides to treat a wide range of conditions, including metabolic disorders, inflammation, and age-related decline. Their clinical application is rapidly expanding, offering targeted intervention for complex physiological pathways.
