What it is

DSIP is a peptide of nine amino-acid residues — tryptophan, alanine, glycine, glycine, aspartate, alanine, serine, glycine, glutamate — abbreviated from delta sleep-inducing peptide.

It was isolated in 1977 by the Schoenenberger and Monnier group in Basel from the cerebral venous blood of rabbits, and characterised in the same work. The listed material is produced by chemical synthesis.

Regulatory status

DSIP is not an approved drug in any jurisdiction.
