WHAT IS PINEALON?

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and arginine (Glu-Asp-Arg). It belongs to the class of short peptide bioregulators developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology and is investigated for its proposed interactions with DNA and neuronal gene expression in research models.
BioRhex supplies Pinealon as a research compound manufactured in a GMP-compliant US facility, tested to ≥ 99% purity via HPLC and mass spectrometry, and supplied strictly for controlled laboratory research — not for human or animal use.

Compound Overview

Pinealon is a tripeptide investigated for its interactions with neuronal signaling and gene-expression pathways. In vitro and preclinical models examine how Pinealon may influence:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in neuronal cell models
Sequence-specific peptide–DNA interactions and gene expression
Anti-apoptotic and cell-viability signaling
ERK 1/2 pathway modulation and cell-cycle dynamics
Neuroprotective response under hypoxic and oxidative conditions

HISTORY OF PINEALON

Pinealon was developed by Vladimir Khavinson and colleagues at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology as a synthetic tripeptide within the broader program of short peptide bioregulators. It shares the Khavinson design lineage with related peptides such as Epitalon.
In vitro and preclinical findings related to Pinealon’s interactions with reactive oxygen species and neuronal gene expression expanded its use as a research tool in neuroprotection and cellular-aging studies.
Pinealon continues to be investigated within neuroprotective and gene-regulatory pathway research in controlled laboratory environments.
