Peptides for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation
Comprehensive guide to 2 peptides researched for chronic idiopathic constipation, ranked by evidence strength from FDA-approved to early preclinical. Each compound is evaluated on mechanism, clinical status, and safety profile.
Overview
2 research peptides are currently studied for chronic idiopathic constipation. This guide ranks them by evidence strength and covers their mechanisms, safety profiles, and current clinical status.
Plecanatide — FDA Approved
Evidence Rating: A
Category: Gastrointestinal / GC-C Agonist
Plecanatide is a 16-amino-acid synthetic peptide (MW ~1681.9 g/mol) that is a structural analog of uroguanylin, an endogenous intestinal peptide. Plecanatide acts locally in the intestinal lumen with minimal systemic absorption, functioning as a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist to increase intestinal fluid secretion.
Key claims: Increases complete spontaneous bowel movements in chronic constipation; Reduces abdominal pain in IBS-C.
Linaclotide — FDA Approved
Evidence Rating: A
Category: Gastrointestinal / GC-C Agonist
Linaclotide is a 14-amino-acid synthetic peptide (MW ~1526.8 g/mol) structurally related to the endogenous guanylin and uroguanylin peptides, containing three intramolecular disulfide bonds. Linaclotide is a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist that acts locally in the intestinal lumen with minimal systemic absorption, increasing intestinal fluid secretion and reducing visceral pain signaling.
Key claims: Improves bowel function and reduces abdominal pain in IBS-C; Increases complete spontaneous bowel movements in CIC.
