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

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.
