Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide consisting of four amino acids; Ala Glu Asp Gly developed by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology in Russia, where it has been studied extensively over several decades as part of a broader research programme into peptide bioregulators and their role in ageing and longevity. F40 Biotech’s formulation delivers 100mg in a 3mL prefilled pen system. The highest concentration peptide pen presentation in CSD’s range providing a ready to use multi dose delivery format suited to extended research protocols where consistent dose measurement and elimination of reconstitution variables are priority considerations.

Epithalon’s primary research mechanism centers on its documented ability to stimulate telomerase enzyme activity, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length at the ends of chromosomes during cell division. Telomere shortening is one of the most well established molecular markers of cellular ageing, with progressive telomere attrition across successive cell divisions associated with cellular senescence, reduced replicative capacity, and age related tissue dysfunction. Epithalon’s stimulation of telomerase activity has positioned it as one of the most studied compounds in telomere biology and geroscience research, with a documented research history spanning over two decades of Russian and international investigation into peptide mediated telomere maintenance.

Beyond telomerase activity, Epithalon has accumulated research literature across several additional biological pathways. Its origin as a pineal gland peptide bioregulator has generated investigation into its role in melatonin regulation and circadian rhythm modulation. The pineal gland’s central role in photoperiodic signaling makes pineal derived peptides a subject of ongoing research interest in chronobiology and age related circadian disruption studies. Additional documented research areas include antioxidant activity, immune function modulation, and oncostatic properties in preclinical models, a diverse research profile that has sustained investigator interest across multiple biological disciplines over the decades of study since its original development.
