Pulse Research // 035  ·  Immune and neuropeptide signalling

VIP is a peptide messenger found in the gut, blood vessels and nervous system. Its research history asks how one signal can carry different meanings in different tissues.

VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) is a 28-amino-acid signalling peptide first isolated from intestinal tissue. It is one of the messengers the gut, blood vessels, immune cells and the brain's daily clock have in common, and it is studied to understand how one signal is reused across those systems. Evidence includes mouse and cell studies of the gut lining and circadian rhythm, and human trials of the synthetic form, aviptadil, in pulmonary hypertension and COVID-19 respiratory failure.

Status and limitations

No Australian registration for VIP or aviptadil as a medicine was identified, and the Australian scheduling position for this specific product has not been confirmed. Overseas, aviptadil with phentolamine (Invicorp) is licensed in the United Kingdom for erectile dysfunction by intracavernosal injection.
