Triptorelin
Summary
PE-22-28 is a synthetic analog of spadin derived from sortilin, designed to block TREK-1 potassium channels with rapid-onset antidepressant and neurogenic effects. It shows fast-acting depression relief (within 24 hours) and promotes hippocampal neurogenesis.
Triptorelin is a synthetic decapeptide analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) with 100x the potency of native GnRH. An FDA-approved drug (Trelstar) for prostate cancer and precocious puberty, it is also used in post-cycle therapy (PCT) to rapidly restart the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis after anabolic steroid suppression.
Half-Life
Relatively short; CNS effects may persist due to neurogenic mechanisms
Depot forms: weeks to months; aqueous: 6-8 hours

Key Benefits
  • Rapid-onset antidepressant effects (within 24 hours)
  • Promotes hippocampal neurogenesis
  • Improves cognitive performance and memory
  • Reduces anxiety and depressive behavior
  • Novel mechanism — does not act on serotonin/dopamine/GABA receptors directly
  • May help treatment-resistant depression
  • Neuroprotective effects
  • Rapid HPG axis restart after steroid use
  • Single-injection PCT protocol possible
  • Massively elevates LH and FSH via flare effect
  • Restores endogenous testosterone faster than traditional PCT
  • FDA-approved for established medical uses
Side Effects
  • Generally well tolerated in animal models
  • Limited human data available
  • Possible mild headache or transient mood changes at initiation
  • Injection site reactions (SC)
  • Initial testosterone flare (intended)
  • Injection site reactions
  • Hot flashes (with chronic use)
  • Decreased libido (chronic dosing)
