Product details
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide modeled after pineal-derived peptide sequences and used in cellular-aging research models. Pattern lists this material for controlled laboratory research.
Research Targets: Telomerase-associated pathways, gene-expression networks, pineal-hypothalamic signaling models.
Key Feature: Compact Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide format for bioregulation research.
Research Focus Areas: Cellular senescence models, telomere biology, aging biomarker studies, pineal signaling research.
Common Models: Fibroblast senescence assays, rodent tissue-aging studies, gene-expression experiments.
Mechanistic Interests: Telomere maintenance markers, epigenetic regulation, pineal peptide signaling, oxidative-stress response pathways.
Use Boundary: Research use only; not for human or veterinary use; no diagnostic, therapeutic, or consumption use is implied.

Research context
Peptide guide
Open full guide- Guide profile
- Telomerase Activator
- Composition
- Synthetic tetrapeptide (four-amino-acid sequence: Alanine-Glutamate-Asparagine-Glycine, or Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from epithalamin, a natural pineal gland extract
- Discovery
- Developed in Russia in the 1980s by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, derived from epithalamin (pineal peptide extract) as a synthetic analog for easier production and study
- Research scope
- Evidence is primarily from Russian preclinical and small clinical studies examining telomerase activation, circadian biology, and aging-related endpoints
- Regulatory status
- No FDA approval; limited rigorous human data from Western RCTs. Evidence primarily from Russian research, animal models, and off-label use
Safety context
- Active cancer or history of malignancy (theoretical telomerase/cancer concern—consult oncologist)
- Hypersensitivity to epitalon or components
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding (insufficient safety data)
Research-use notice: Epitalon is an investigational telomerase- and circadian-biology peptide with evidence concentrated in Russian research, cell studies, and animal models. It lacks FDA approval and large independent RCTs for therapeutic or longevity claims. Telomerase biology creates theoretical cancer-related caution, and long-term safety in diverse populations remains uncertain. Compounded quality varies.
