Description
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide bioregulator consisting of the sequence Glu-Asp-Arg (EDR), developed by the Khavinson group at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology in Russia. Belonging to the same “Khavinson cytomedin” class as Epithalon, Cortagen, and Chonluten, Pinealon is one of the more extensively published short-peptide bioregulators in the Russian academic literature. The compound is investigated in preclinical research (Khavinson, Anisimov, Kolchina, and colleagues; Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine; Neuroendocrinology Letters) for effects on neuronal cell biology, oxidative stress markers, gene expression in CNS tissue, and neuroplasticity pathway endpoints. Pinealon has been particularly studied in rodent models of prenatal stress exposure and age-associated cognitive research, where it is examined for effects on dendritic spine biology, apoptotic markers in neuronal cell populations, and offspring neurobehavioral endpoints. Like other Khavinson short-peptide bioregulators, Pinealon is studied primarily as a research tool for tissue-specific peptide pharmacology rather than as a defined receptor agonist.
