FDA Approves Mimrylo (Rusfertide), a First-in-Class Hepcidin Mimetic, for Polycythemia Vera
Aug 28, 2026: FDA approved Mimrylo (rusfertide), the first hepcidin-mimetic drug for adults with polycythemia vera, after VERIFY showed fewer phlebotomies.
FDA Staff Propose Against 503A Listing for BPC-157, TB-500, MOTS-c, KPV, Semax, Epitalon & DSIP
At the July 23-24, 2026 PCAC meeting, FDA staff proposed that all seven peptides under review NOT be added to the 503A Bulks List. Here is what the briefing docs actually say, and what they do not.
The Peptide Industry's Accreditation Illusion: We Checked the Labs Behind Your COAs
Vendors lean on 'ISO 17025' and 'accredited lab' to sell trust. We went to the accreditation registries, A2LA, ANAB, PJLA, IAS, and CMS, and checked. No lab issuing peptide COAs has a publicly verifiable ISO 17025 scope covering peptide purity or identity. Here is the lab-by-lab record, and what actually signals a trustworthy COA.

Liraglutide is Novo Nordisk's once-daily acylated GLP-1 analog. Here is the C16 albumin chemistry, the SCALE obesity data, the LEADER cardiovascular readout, STEP 8 versus weekly semaglutide, and why a catalog vial is not Saxenda.
Ipamorelin vs MK-677: Same Ghrelin Receptor, Not the Same Molecule
MK-677 (ibutamoren) is Merck's oral small-molecule ghrelin mimetic. Ipamorelin is a five-residue peptide. Here is the chemistry, the Nass and Copinschi data, the hip-fracture CHF signal, and why neither is an FDA-approved GH drug.
FOXO4-DRI: The Senolytic Peptide From a 2017 Cell Paper, Not a Longevity Drug
FOXO4-DRI is a D-retro-inverso peptide built to break FOXO4 and p53 binding in senescent cells. Here is the IMR90 biology, the mouse chemotoxicity and kidney data, the 2025 NMR follow-up, and why a catalog vial is not an approved senolytic.
ARA-290 (Cibinetide): The EPO Helix B Peptide That Skips Red Cells
ARA-290 is an 11-amino-acid peptide modeled on erythropoietin helix B. Here is the EPOR and CD131 biology, the 2012 sarcoidosis pilot, the 2017 corneal-nerve phase 2b, and why a catalog vial is not an FDA-approved EPO drug.
Collagen Peptides vs Research Peptides: Same Word, Not the Same Molecule
Collagen peptides in a tub are hydrolyzed protein fragments. BPC-157 is a 15-residue sequence from gastric juice. Here is the Gly-X-Y biology, the oral absorption data, and why a scoop is not a research vial.
Vosoritide (Voxzogo): The CNP Analog for Achondroplasia, Not a GH Peptide
Vosoritide is a 39-amino-acid analog of C-type natriuretic peptide, sold as Voxzogo for achondroplasia with open growth plates. Here is the FGFR3 and NPR-B biology, the Lancet phase 3 growth-velocity data, and why a catalog CNP vial is not that product.
