Search the scientific literature

Literature & Research Databases

These databases can be used to locate peer-reviewed publications, reviews and other scientific literature.

PubMed A biomedical and life sciences literature database maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Useful for: biomedical research, peptide studies, pharmacology, molecular biology, clinical literature. Europe PMC A life sciences literature resource providing access to publications, abstracts and other research information. Useful for: life sciences research, open-access literature, biomedical publications, citation exploration. Google Scholar A broad academic search engine covering scholarly literature across multiple disciplines. Useful for: discovering academic publications, citation tracking, finding related research.
Follow registered studies

Clinical Research Registries

Clinical study registries provide information about registered research involving human participants.

Inclusion in a registry does not itself demonstrate that an intervention is safe, effective or approved.

ClinicalTrials.gov A clinical studies database maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Useful for reviewing: study design, recruitment status, research phases, study endpoints, sponsors and collaborators. ISRCTN Registry A recognised clinical study registry containing information about research conducted internationally. WHO ICTRP The World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, providing access to registration information from participating registries internationally.

Consult authoritative regulatory information

Regulatory Authorities

Regulatory status can vary significantly between compounds, products and jurisdictions. For authoritative information, visitors should consult the relevant regulatory authority directly.

MHRA The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency — the United Kingdom regulator responsible for medicines, medical devices and blood components for transfusion. European Medicines Agency The European Union agency responsible for the scientific evaluation and monitoring of medicines within its remit. U.S. Food & Drug Administration The United States federal agency responsible for regulating medicines and other products within its jurisdiction.

Not all evidence is equal

Understanding Scientific Evidence

Scientific findings should be interpreted in the context of the methodology, study design, population and limitations of the underlying research.

When reviewing scientific literature, consider:

  1. Study Type

    Was the research conducted in vitro, in animals or in humans?

  2. Sample Size

    How many subjects or experimental samples were studied?

  3. Controls

    Was an appropriate control or comparison used?

  4. Publication Status

    Has the work undergone peer review?

  5. Replication

    Have similar findings been reproduced independently?

  6. Limitations

    What limitations were identified by the researchers?

  7. Conflicts of Interest

    Who funded the research and were relevant interests disclosed?

  8. Totality of Evidence

    Does the finding align with or contradict the broader scientific literature?

A single publication should rarely be interpreted in isolation.

  • From Research to Regulatory Approval

    Research does not equal approval

    The presence of a compound within published scientific literature or a clinical trial registry does not mean that the compound has been established as safe or effective, or approved by a regulatory authority.

    Preclinical investigation, clinical research and regulatory authorisation are distinct stages.

    Visitors should consult the appropriate regulatory authority when determining the regulatory status of a medicine or compound.

  • How Peptissima Uses Scientific Sources

    The Peptissima Research and Education sections may reference publicly available scientific literature and authoritative external resources to explain areas of scientific investigation.

    Where possible, scientific content links visitors back to the original publication, database or regulatory source.

    Peptissima does not conduct or independently validate the research merely by referencing it, and inclusion of a publication should not be interpreted as endorsement of its conclusions.
