BAM-15 Capsules 50mg

BAM-15 capsules give you pre-measured capsules, each with 50mg BAM-15, so there’s no powder to reconstitute and nothing to weigh.

BAM-15 capsules contents

• BAM-15: 50mg per capsule, 3,000mg per bottle

The bottle holds 60 capsules. Multiply the per-capsule amount by 60 and you have the total for the bottle, which helps when you’re working out how many bottles a study needs.

What is BAM-15?

BAM-15 is a small molecule that makes the inner mitochondrial membrane leak protons. That uncouples fuel burning from ATP production, so cells burn more fuel to make the same energy.

It was described in 2014 as a cleaner uncoupler than the old compounds like DNP and FCCP, because it doesn’t depolarize the outer cell membrane. It isn’t approved for any use.

Normally, protons pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix flow back through ATP synthase, which uses that flow to make ATP. BAM-15 carries protons back across the membrane directly, bypassing ATP synthase.

The cell answers by burning more fat and glucose to keep the proton gradient up. That’s why it’s used in extracellular flux assays and obesity models as a reference uncoupler.

Oral research with BAM-15

BAM-15 is a small molecule, and the mouse studies that made its name, including the 2020 Nature Communications paper from Santos and colleagues, mixed it into the animals’ food. A capsule matches that oral route.

Capsules suit studies built around oral delivery. If your protocol was written for injected material, compare like with like, because absorption by mouth can be very different.

What the research says

Kenwood and colleagues introduced BAM-15 in Molecular Metabolism in 2014, showing it raised oxygen use in cells over a wide concentration range without the cell toxicity seen with FCCP.

In 2020, Axelrod and colleagues reported in Nature Communications that mice fed BAM-15 resisted diet-induced weight gain and had better insulin sensitivity, without eating less.

How many bottles of BAM-15 capsules?

Add up how many capsules every arm of the study uses, from first time point to last, and divide by 60 to get the number of bottles. It’s worth keeping one spare for a repeat.

Try to run a whole study from one batch. Write the batch number from the label in your notes so results can be traced back to the paperwork.

BAM-15 capsules vs a powder vial

The big advantage of capsules is that the measuring is already done. Every capsule carries the same amount, so there’s no reconstitution math, no syringe and no mixed solution with a use-by date.

Capsules also travel and store more easily than vials. A sealed bottle keeps at room temperature, so there’s no freezer space to find and no cold chain to manage between deliveries.

BAM-15 capsules quality and handling

Peptira labels each BAM-15 capsules bottle with the compound and the amount. Labs that file batch documentation should ask our support team about the current batch before ordering.

If you verify incoming material yourself, the standard methods are HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity. HPLC splits the sample and reports the main peak as a percentage, while mass spec confirms that peak has the right molecular weight.

Keep a record of which bottle went into which experiment. Matching results to material is the simplest way to rule it out when an experiment doesn’t behave.

Storing BAM-15 capsules

Store BAM-15 capsules sealed, in a cool, dry place out of direct light. A fridge is fine if you keep the lid tight so no condensation gets in. Put the lid back on straight after you take capsules out.
