      No FDA-approved product

      • No approved drug product exists in Drugs@FDA.
      • Listed as “Cathelicidin LL-37” on FDA's table of bulk substances nominated for compounding and withdrawn. FDA's published concerns include immunogenicity risk for certain routes, peptide-related impurities and API characterisation, and insufficient safety information.
      • FDA's entry also notes nonclinical findings suggesting detrimental effects on male reproduction and that the substance can be protumorigenic in some tissues.
      • Not named on the WADA 2026 Prohibited List.
