PepBank has 21 GB-115 studies with results. All of them gave GB-115, with 91 results, grouped by what the studies measured. In each group, results from studies in people come first. Data as of 2026-10-30.

Identifiers, parent molecule, targets and development stage, from curated data.
GB-115 is N-(6-phenylhexanoyl)-glycyl-L-tryptophanamide, a synthetic retrodipeptide analog of cholecystokinin-4. Recent clinical reports describe CCK1 antagonism, while older animal studies describe CCK2 antagonism. These sources do not resolve receptor subtype selectivity. Valenta markets the product in Russia as Ranquilon.

No sequence is listed for the parent, so no alignment is shown.The primary synthesis study describes GB-115 as a CCK-4 dipeptide analog. This mimetic relationship does not establish a contiguous parent sequence range.
Some values cannot be calculated. A modification changes this value and is not modeled here (for example a lipid, metal or linker).
