Epithalon

Epithalon 50mg

Epithalon (Epitalon, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic short-chain tetrapeptide composed of four amino acids — alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and glycine. Developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology by the Khavinson research group, Epithalon represents one of the foundational compounds in the broader category of short-chain regulatory peptides and has been the subject of extensive cellular biology and biochemical research literature.

Each vial contains 50mg of lyophilized Epithalon in a sealed 10mL glass vial, verified through Mile High Compounds’ three-tier quality protocol: 7x independent third-party analytical testing, 4-vial batch conformity verification, and comprehensive heavy metal screening.

Research Background

Epithalon has been investigated in research literature across several scientific contexts:

• Telomere biology research — investigations into cellular telomerase activity and telomere maintenance in cell culture research models
• Pineal gland cellular biology — studies examining cellular signaling pathways in pineal cellular research contexts
• Cellular gene expression research — research literature on short-chain peptide effects on gene expression patterns in cellular research models
• Cellular regulatory peptide research — analytical studies on tetrapeptide structure-activity relationships and cellular regulatory mechanisms
• Comparative short-chain peptide research — comparative cellular research positioning Epithalon alongside other Khavinson-group short-chain regulatory peptides (including Cartalax) in cellular research contexts
• Cellular aging research — studies examining cellular regulatory peptide effects across cellular aging research models

Epithalon was developed through cellular biology research by the Khavinson research group at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, where the compound was characterized as part of the broader Russian short-chain regulatory peptide research tradition. Epithalon represents a foundational example of short-chain peptide research and has been extensively studied in peer-reviewed cellular biology research literature. Foundational research is available through PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and the National Institutes of Health’s PMC database (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), where researchers can access peer-reviewed studies on Epithalon and short-chain regulatory peptide research.

Analytical Verification

Every batch undergoes Mile High Compounds’ comprehensive analytical protocol:

• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for purity quantification
• Mass Spectrometry (MS) for molecular weight and identity confirmation
• 14-day sterility testing
• Endotoxin analysis
• 4-vial batch conformity verification — statistically robust consistency testing across each production batch, exceeding the industry-standard single-vial sampling approach
• Heavy metal screening for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and additional trace metals
• Container and seal integrity verification

Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COAs) accompany every order, documenting full testing results across all verification protocols.

Reconstitution and Storage

• Lyophilized storage: Cool, dry location away from direct light; -20°C for long-term stability
• Post-reconstitution: Refrigerate at 2-8°C, protect from light
• Reconstituted use window: 30 days for optimal research integrity
• Avoid: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve compound stability and structural integrity
