01Mechanism of Action

Parameter
DSIP
PTD-DBM
Primary target
Multiple — modulates HPA axis + thalamic delta-wave generation (proposed)Schneider 1986
CXXC5–Dishevelled protein-protein interaction
Pathway
Reduced cortisol/ACTH + enhanced delta-wave EEG activity → improved sleep onset + depthSchneider 1986
Inhibit CXXC5 binding to Dishevelled → Release Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitionLee 2015Ryu 2023
Downstream effect
Faster sleep onset, increased delta sleep, reduced stress response, possible anxiolytic effectSchneider 1986
Activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling promotes hair follicle regeneration, dermal stem cell activation, reduced myofibroblast differentiation
Feedback intact?
Not applicable — pathway derepression rather than receptor agonism
Origin
Endogenous peptide first isolated from rabbit blood during delta sleep; synthesised exogenouslySchneider 1986
Engineered fusion: cell-penetrating PTD sequence + Dvl-binding motif targeting CXXC5
Antibody development

PTD-DBM
  • ·Active malignancy (Wnt pathway involvement in tumorigenesis)
  • ·Pregnancy / lactation (no safety data)
Relative Contraindications
DSIP
  • ·Severe sleep apnoea (untreated)

05Administration Protocol

Parameter
DSIP
PTD-DBM
1. Reconstitution
Add 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water to vial.
Pyrogallol-functionalized hyaluronic acid (HA-PG) hydrogel patch loaded with PTD-DBM peptide, applied directly to wound bed. Adhesive hydrogel provides sustained release over multiple days.Lee 2023
2. Injection site
SQ — abdomen. Rotate sites.
Topical application to scalp or wound site. Precise formulation not disclosed; studies used Cxxc5 knockout or direct peptide application in wound-induced hair neogenesis models.Ryu 2023
3. Timing
30–60 min pre-sleep.
PTD-DBM + valproic acid (GSK-3β inhibitor) in HA-PG patch showed synergistic effect on scar reduction and regenerative wound healing. VPA enhances Wnt pathway activation downstream.Lee 2023
4. Storage
Lyophilised: room temp. Reconstituted: refrigerate ≤30 days.
Not disclosed in available literature. Peptide stability and storage conditions not published.
5. Needle
29–31G insulin syringe.
