Profile Overview

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide (DSIP) is a 9-amino-acid endogenous neuropeptide first isolated in 1974 from the cerebral venous blood of sleeping rabbits by the Schoenenberger-Monnier group in Switzerland. Despite its name suggesting a clear mechanism, DSIP's sleep-promoting effects in humans have been contradictory across 40-plus years of research: some controlled trials showed modest sleep improvements, while the most rigorous study (Schneider-Helmert 1992, n=16, double-blind) concluded that short-term treatment of chronic insomnia was not likely to be of major therapeutic benefit. The compound's most compelling human clinical data are actually in addiction medicine: a 1984 uncontrolled study of n=107 inpatients (n=47 alcohol withdrawal, n=60 opiate withdrawal) reported benefits in 97% of opiate-dependent and 87% of alcohol-dependent patients with IV DSIP. In mouse lifespan studies, a DSIP-containing preparation (Deltaran) extended maximum lifespan by 24.1% and reduced spontaneous tumor incidence 2.6-fold. No receptor or precursor gene for DSIP has been identified in 50 years of research.
