Identification of CJC-1295, a growth-hormone-releasing peptide, in an unknown pharmaceutical preparation
Henninge J, Pepaj M, Hullstein I, et al. Drug Testing and Analysis 2010;2:647-650.
What it found
The Norwegian doping control laboratory analysed an unknown product seized in 2009 and found a 29-amino-acid peptide with an amidated end, matching a peptide marketed as CJC-1295. The authors note it is prohibited in sport and likely used in bodybuilding.
Limitations
A single product. The peptide found was 29 amino acids long, which matches the short-acting version without DAC rather than the original albumin-binding compound tested in human studies.
