Seractide/ACTH (1-39)peptide · headlineLeadFDA-approved
Evidence · PubMed
Strong

Synthetic ACTH directly stimulates adrenal cortisol output and is the standard dynamic test of adrenal reserve; a subnormal cortisol rise confirms adrenal insufficiency.

Argipressinpeptide · headlineFDA-approved
Evidence · PubMed
Emerging

Vasopressin acts on pituitary corticotroph V1b receptors to potentiate CRH and drive ACTH/cortisol; excessive V1b activation underlies HPA hyperactivity that V1b blockade can normalize.

Oxytocinpeptide · headlineFDA-approved
Evidence · PubMed
Emerging

In humans, higher oxytocin levels accompany a more moderated HPA (ACTH/cortisol) response to acute psychosocial stress, consistent with an inhibitory role on adrenal-axis output.

PACAPpeptide · headlineResearch use only
Evidence · PubMed
Preclinical

PACAP controls HPA-axis activation, driving CRH expression in the paraventricular nucleus and adrenocortical steroidogenic gene expression to sustain corticosterone secretion during stress.

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide)peptide · headlineResearch use only
Evidence · PubMed
Anecdotal

Plasma DSIP-like immunoreactivity correlates with pre-dexamethasone cortisol and is altered by dexamethasone suppression, indicating DSIP is involved in glucocorticoid/HPA-axis regulation.

Spironolactoneon-label Rx · comparatorFDA-approved
Evidence · PubMed
Strong

Spironolactone is the preferred mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonist for medical management of primary aldosteronism, controlling aldosterone-driven hypertension and hypokalemia better than eplerenone.
