Cyclic Glycine-Proline and MK-677 Interaction

Monitor
Mechanism-based 47% confidence

Cyclic Glycine-Proline and MK-677 have an interaction requiring monitoring for interaction with 47% confidence. Both Cyclic Glycine-Proline and MK-677 affect insulin sensitivity or blood glucose. Monitor fasting glucose and HbA1c. Consider adding an insulin sensitizer (metformin/berberine). Both compounds affect the brain, so monitoring these systems is recommended.

Compound Profiles

Cyclic Glycine-Proline

IGF-1 Bioavailability Regulator & Neuroprotective Peptide

Competes with IGF-1 for IGFBP-3 binding, normalizing bioavailable IGF-1 levels. Acts as positive allosteric modulator of AMPA and GABA-A receptors.

Half-life: Extended stability (more stable than linear GPE precursor) Typical dose: 20-100 μg daily (or 300mg blackcurrant extract 2x daily) cognitive, longevity

MK-677

Ghrelin Receptor Agonist | Oral Growth Hormone Secretagogue

Selectively binds GHS-R1a receptors in hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering pulsatile growth hormone release while maintaining natural circadian patterns..

Half-life: ~24 hours Typical dose: Start 12.5mg daily, increase to 25mg based on tolerance growth hormone, weight loss, sleep
