CPC-1598 (CPC-1598 (GABAergic Sleep Peptide Analog))

Category: Sleep & Recovery. Status: Research compound.

An experimental peptide analog enhancing GABAergic sleep signaling without benzodiazepine-like tolerance and dependence. Selectively targets sleep-active VLPO neurons.

How it works

Selectively potentiates a3/a5-containing GABA-A subtypes in sleep-promoting VLPO neurons rather than broadly sedating. Promotes natural sleep onset without respiratory depression.

Key facts

  • Molecular weight: ~650 Da
  • Half-life: 3-5 hours
  • Bioavailability: Moderate (SubQ)
  • Storage: Lyophilized: -20°C.

Dosing overview

  • Typical dose: 200-500 mcg
  • Frequency: Once before bed
  • Duration: 2-4 weeks
  • Route: Subcutaneous

Reported benefits

  • Selective sleep neuron targeting
  • No benzo-like dependence
  • Natural sleep architecture
  • No respiratory depression
  • Minimal next-day impairment

Possible side effects

  • Limited safety data
  • Mild morning drowsiness
  • Potential dizziness

Research

  • Selective GABA-A modulation for sleep (2022): a3/a5-selective modulators induced sleep without tolerance over 28 days of nightly use.
  • Novel peptidergic approaches to insomnia (2023): Peptide GABAergic agents matched zolpidem efficacy without rebound insomnia or cognitive impairment.
