Abaloparatide
Also known as: BA058
An analogue of parathyroid-hormone-related protein, approved for osteoporosis, with receptor-conformation selectivity distinguishing it from teriparatide.
Development status: Approved as a medicine in one or more jurisdictions

Identifiers are published only with a source and a check date. Fields marked “not verified” have not yet been confirmed against a primary source — we show the gap rather than an unchecked figure. Always confirm against the certificate of analysis for the specific lot you hold.
Biological targets
- PTH1 receptor
Mechanism of action
Reported to favour a particular PTH1 receptor conformation, with a different balance of formation and resorption signalling relative to teriparatide.
Research evidence and its limits
Phase 3 fracture-endpoint trial and regulatory review.
Safety considerations
Where this compound is an approved medicine, the authoritative safety source is the product labelling issued by the relevant regulator — not this page. Research-grade material is not pharmaceutical product and carries none of those assurances. Supplied and discussed here strictly as a laboratory research material. Not a medicine, not for human or veterinary administration, and nothing on this page should be read as a dosing, treatment or safety recommendation.
Analytical identification and quality testing
Identity by high-resolution mass spectrometry against the expected mass, purity by RP-HPLC with UV detection. Tandem MS sequencing or peptide mapping gives stronger identity evidence than mass alone.
Regulatory status
Approved in the United States and elsewhere.
