MOLECULE PROFILE

ACTH 1–39

Peptide or peptide-related

ACTH stimulates adrenal corticosteroid production through melanocortin receptors; not equivalent to every corticotropin preparation.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Catalog label is recorded; analytical identity and equivalence are not established.

Mechanism

ACTH stimulates adrenal corticosteroid production through melanocortin receptors; not equivalent to every corticotropin preparation.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Immune modulation and inflammation

Endocrine/immunologic contexts in authorized products; the catalog specifies a peptide length requiring confirmation.

Human evidence

Acthar Gel is repository corticotropin with its own product composition. Its label does not prove commercial synthetic ACTH 1–39 identity, units or regimen.

Preclinical evidence

Do not equate mechanism, cell culture or animal work with a clinical outcome. The specific level is detailed in the evidence assessment.

Critical reading and limitations

Acthar Gel is repository corticotropin with its own product composition. Its label does not prove commercial synthetic ACTH 1–39 identity, units or regimen.

Acthar Gel is repository corticotropin with its own product composition. Its label does not prove commercial synthetic ACTH 1–39 identity, units or regimen.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Human-study exposure

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Empirical handbook

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

US: Acthar Gel has indications for a repository corticotropin preparation. It does not verify authorization/equivalence of a synthetic product called ACTH 1–39.

Adverse effects and unknowns

Glucocorticoid exposure can involve infection, hyperglycemia, hypertension and axis suppression; assess exact labeling/concomitant therapies.

Contraindications

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.

Studies and trials

Selected studies

No selected studies are attributed in this record.

Trials attributed in the package

No trials are attributed in this record.

Trial registration does not establish efficacy or validate commercial material.
