Therapeutic peptides in gerontology: mechanisms and applications for healthy aging

Background: Peptide therapeutics represent an emerging frontier in gerontological medicine, targeting fundamental hallmarks of aging including metabolic dysfunction, telomere attrition, tissue repair impairment, and hormonal decline. Objective: To comprehensively review the mechanisms, clinical applications, evidence base, and safety profiles of therapeutic peptides with demonstrated or potential applications in healthy aging and age-related conditions. Methods: A comprehensive narrative review was conducted through systematic searches of PubMed, Scopus, and regulatory databases (FDA, WADA) from inception through January 2026. Search terms included "peptide therapeutics," "aging," "gerontology," "healthspan," combined with specific peptide names (tirzepatide, epitalon, GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB-500, Semax, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, bremelanotide). Peer-reviewed articles, clinical trials, regulatory documents, and preclinical studies were evaluated. A total of 20 primary sources were selected based on relevance, methodological quality, and contribution to understanding peptide mechanisms and clinical outcomes in aging populations. Results: Nine peptides were identified spanning diverse aging interventions: metabolic restoration (tirzepatide), telomere biology (epitalon), dermal regeneration (GHK-Cu), tissue repair (BPC-157, TB-500), neuroprotection (Semax), growth hormone modulation (CJC-1295, ipamorelin), and sexual function (bremelanotide). FDA-approved agents demonstrated robust safety profiles from large-scale trials. Non-approved peptides showed promising preclinical and limited clinical evidence but lack long-term safety data and systematic validation. Significant knowledge gaps include optimal dosing regimens, combination therapy effects, and biomarkers for monitoring efficacy. Conclusion: Therapeutic peptides offer mechanistically diverse approaches to multiple aging hallmarks. While FDA-approved agents demonstrate clinical potential, investigational peptides require rigorous validation through well-designed clinical trials to establish safety and efficacy for healthspan extension.
