About
PepDex exists to make peptide research literature readable. It is free, has no accounts, sells nothing and recommends nothing.
PepDex is an educational database covering 17 research peptides, a library of 6 explanatory articles and five calculators for the arithmetic that recurs throughout the literature. It is written for researchers, students and anyone trying to make sense of primary sources without a background in pharmacology.
Entries describe what has been observed in published studies. Where evidence is preclinical or limited to animal models, the entry says so rather than implying human relevance.
Every peptide page follows an identical ten-section layout, so a reader comparing two compounds finds the same information in the same place.
Reported adverse effects appear on every entry alongside the areas being studied. A reference that only reports positive findings is not a reference.
Each entry closes with a reference list linking to primary literature and review articles so claims can be checked at source.
Each entry begins with the primary literature indexed on PubMed and, where available, published trial reports and regulatory documentation. Findings are summarised in plain language with the study type preserved — a cell-culture result and a phase-three trial are never described in the same terms. Entries are revised as new publications appear.
