  • CEI-MN-036Neuroactive peptidesApproved2 assessed outcomesversion 1.0

    Semax is reported to increase expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and its receptor TrkB in rodent hippocampus, and to modulate monoaminergic transmission. Its approved Russian indications are ischaemic stroke and…

  • CEI-MN-022Growth-hormone axisDiscontinued2 assessed outcomesversion 3.3

    Sermorelin stimulates pituitary growth-hormone release through the GHRH receptor. Its very short half-life confines the pharmacodynamic effect to a single secretory pulse, which is why its established clinical use was diagnostic…

    Low15 Jun 2026
  • CEI-MN-044Mitochondrial and metabolic cofactorsDiscontinued3 assessed outcomesversion 4.2

    Elamipretide binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilising cristae curvature and the assembly of electron-transport-chain supercomplexes, and reducing cytochrome-c peroxidase activity. The result in…

  • CEI-MN-013Incretin receptor agonistsPhase 33 assessed outcomesversion 3.1

    Glucagon receptor agonism increases hepatic fatty-acid oxidation, resting energy expenditure and hepatic lipid clearance; GLP-1 receptor agonism supplies appetite suppression and offsets the glycaemic consequences of glucagon…

  • CEI-MN-031Repair and regenerationUnapproved, research supply3 assessed outcomesversion 4.1

    Thymosin beta-4 is an abundant intracellular actin-sequestering protein with reported extracellular activity in angiogenesis, cell migration and wound repair. TB-500 comprises the actin-binding motif and is supplied on the…

  • CEI-MN-020Incretin receptor agonistsApproved1 assessed outcomeversion 4.1

    GLP-2 receptor agonism promotes intestinal mucosal growth, increases villus height and crypt depth, slows gastric emptying and reduces intestinal secretion. The therapeutic consequence in short-bowel syndrome is improved fluid…

  • CEI-MN-021Growth-hormone axisApproved3 assessed outcomesversion 4.2

    Tesamorelin stimulates the pituitary to release endogenous growth hormone in a pulsatile pattern, preserving the physiological feedback architecture that exogenous growth hormone bypasses. Downstream IGF-1 elevation drives…

  • CEI-MN-041Immune modulatorsApproved2 assessed outcomesversion 4.1

    Thymalin is a fractionated calf-thymus extract registered in the Russian Federation as an immunomodulator. Because its composition is not defined, no mechanism can be stated at molecular level, and batch-to-batch consistency is…

  • CEI-MN-040Immune modulatorsApproved2 assessed outcomesversion 4.2

    Thymosin alpha-1 promotes T-lymphocyte differentiation and maturation, increases interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma production, and enhances dendritic-cell function. Its clinical applications exploit immune reconstitution rather…

  • CEI-MN-032Repair and regenerationUnapproved, research supply2 assessed outcomesversion 2.0

    Thymosin beta-4 sequesters monomeric actin and thereby regulates cytoskeletal dynamics, cell migration and wound repair. Extracellular administration in preclinical models promotes angiogenesis, keratinocyte and endothelial…

  • CEI-MN-003Incretin receptor agonistsApproved9 assessed outcomesversion 4.2

    Tirzepatide engages both incretin receptors from a single molecule. GLP-1 receptor agonism reproduces the insulinotropic, glucagonostatic, gastric and central appetite effects of the selective class. Concurrent GIP receptor…
