Pinealon
Pinealon is the tripeptide Glu-Asp-Arg (EDR), a brain and pineal peptide bioregulator from the Khavinson series at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It belongs to the shorter Glu-Asp (ED) group alongside Ovagen (EDL), Chonluten (EDG), and Crystagen (EDP), which differ only in their third residue.
Pinealon is often confused with Epitalon because both originate from pineal research, but they are structurally and functionally distinct: Epitalon is a four-residue AEDG peptide studied for telomerase and telomere biology, whereas Pinealon is a three-residue EDR peptide studied for neuronal endpoints. In vitro and animal work reported by the originating group examines neuroprotective signaling in oxidative-stress models, antioxidant enzyme activity, and apoptosis-related pathways in neuronal cultures. Within the neurological bioregulators it is the pineal-derived counterpart to the cortex-derived Cortagen.
