What is Pinealon?

From the PeptideWhiz library entry. "As described" sections summarize claims made in the sources; they are not PeptideWhiz endorsements.

What it is

Pinealon is described as a synthetic tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Arg) developed as part of Professor Vladimir Khavinson’s peptide research program. It is studied for its ability to protect neurons from oxidative stress and to modulate gene expression in brain tissue.

EDR/Pinealon has been studied in cell and model systems for possible effects on gene expression and protein synthesis related to neurodegeneration; this is described as mechanistic evidence that does not establish a clinical schedule.

Research context (as described)

• Research is described as indicating it reduces reactive oxygen species accumulation and necrotic cell death in neurons. Established pineal physiology links melatonin secretion to the light-dark cycle, which is described as the measurable endpoint for evaluating pineal-function claims.
