N-Acetyl Epithalon — 20mg | Stabilized AEDG Analog

N-Acetyl Epithalon Amidate is a structurally modified analog of Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly / AEDG), the Khavinson-derived tetrapeptide bioregulator originally synthesized from pineal gland epithalamin extract. This modified analog incorporates two stabilizing chemical modifications relative to the parent peptide: N-terminal acetylation on the alanine residue (which protects against N-terminal aminopeptidase cleavage) and C-terminal amidation on the glycine residue (which protects against carboxypeptidase cleavage). Together, these modifications are reported to confer enhanced enzymatic stability and extended plasma half-life compared to unmodified Epithalon. The compound is investigated in preclinical research as a structurally optimized version of the parent AEDG peptide for telomerase pathway research, circadian gene expression studies, and comparative pharmacokinetics versus standard Epithalon. As a less commonly characterized analog with limited Western research literature, N-Acetyl Epithalon Amidate is primarily of interest to researchers conducting structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of modified Khavinson short-peptide bioregulators.

Benefits (Research Focus)

• Enhanced peptide stability — studied for resistance to aminopeptidase and carboxypeptidase enzymatic degradation

• Telomerase pathway research — investigated for hTERT gene expression in cell culture models (analogous to parent Epithalon)

• Circadian gene expression — explored for BMAL1, CLOCK, PER, CRY pathway endpoints in chronobiology research

• SIRT1 / FOXO pathway research — examined for downstream sirtuin and forkhead transcription factor signaling

• SAR comparator — researched alongside standard Epithalon and other Khavinson analogs for structure-activity studies
