Pinealon

What is Pinealon?

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide with the sequence Glu-Asp-Arg (EDR). It belongs to the family of short peptide bioregulators developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, where it has been studied for decades as a brain-targeted regulatory peptide.

Research Applications

• Neuroprotection: Pinealon has been studied for its ability to protect neuronal cells under oxidative stress and hypoxia, with published work reporting suppression of free-radical levels in cell cultures.
• Cognitive Function: Research in aging models has examined Pinealon's influence on memory, attention and learning-related behaviour.
• Cell Viability & Proliferation: Studies report increased viability and activation of proliferative processes in neuronal cell cultures exposed to the peptide.
• Developmental Models: Preclinical work has explored Pinealon's protective effects on offspring neurodevelopment under prenatal stress conditions.
