DSIP — Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (Nonapeptide)

DSIP is a naturally occurring nonapeptide historically linked with sleep-architecture research. It’s used in laboratory settings to explore sleep regulation, stress-axis modulation, and neuroendocrine signaling in controlled models.

Identifiers
  • Aliases: Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide
  • CAS: 62568-57-4
  • Sequence (9 aa): Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu
  • Approx. MW: ~849.9 Da (salt/form dependent)
How It Works (Plain English)
  • DSIP has been studied as a modulator of sleep homeostasis and slow-wave (delta) activity in select models.
  • Evidence suggests cross-talk with GABAergic, glutamatergic (NMDA), and HPA-axis signaling, but the primary receptor target remains unresolved.
  • Research also explores interactions with neuroendocrine peptides and stress markers (e.g., CRH/ACTH contexts).
Why Laboratories Use It
  • To examine sleep architecture and EEG delta-power changes in animal and in-vitro systems.
  • To study stress-response modulation (HPA-axis markers, cortisol/ACTH paradigms).
  • To investigate pain/antinociception and autonomic tone in translational models.

Key Study Themes — What’s Typically Tested

Sleep & EEG endpoints
  • What’s tested: Changes in slow-wave sleep surrogates (delta power), sleep latency, and REM/NREM distribution after DSIP exposure.
  • What’s observed: Model-dependent modulation of delta activity; effects can vary with dose, route, and species.
  • Why it matters: Useful tool for dissecting sleep-homeostasis mechanisms and peptide-based neuromodulation.
Stress-axis & autonomic readouts
  • What’s tested: HPA-axis hormones (CRH, ACTH, cortisol/corticosterone), HRV and autonomic markers under challenge.
  • What’s observed: Context-dependent effects on stress markers; labs often pair with behavioral assays for interpretation.
  • Why it matters: Helps map peptide influence on stress resilience and neuroendocrine balance.

Potential Research Applications

Sleep & Circadian Biology

  • EEG/EMG sleep scoring, delta power, circadian phase markers
  • Interactions with melatonin/pineal, GABA/glutamate signaling

Stress & Neuroendocrine

  • HPA-axis reactivity, ACTH/cortisol profiling
  • Behavioral stress assays (e.g., EPM/open field) where appropriate

Pain & Autonomic Tone

  • Antinociception, HRV, baroreflex sensitivity under peptide challenge

Synergistic / Comparator Peptides

Epitalon

  • Why pair: Pineal/circadian context; compare or combine for sleep and ageing endpoints.

Selank / Semax

  • Why pair: Neuro-trophic/anti-anxiety context that can complement stress/sleep designs.

Oxytocin (comparator)

  • Why compare: Social/affiliative neuropeptide with sleep-adjacent effects in some paradigms.

Design Notes

  • Pre-register dosing time relative to lights-on/off—sleep outcomes are highly phase-sensitive.
  • Control for handling stress; include vehicle and time-of-day controls.

Known Concerns (Context)

  • Mechanism uncertainty: Primary receptor/target not definitively established; effects can be model- and dose-dependent.
  • Mixed literature: Positive and null findings exist; study design and species differences drive variability.
  • General: For laboratory research use only; not for human consumption or therapeutic use.

Specifications & Handling

  • Form: Lyophilized peptide powder (lot-coded)
  • Purity: ≥ 98–99% (HPLC/MS verified)
  • Storage: ≤ −20 °C; protect from light/moisture; minimize freeze–thaw
  • In solution: Reconstitute with sterile buffer; document vehicle, pH, and time-to-assay
  • Packaging: Tamper-evident; research-only labeling
