Epithalon
Also known as: Epithalamin, AEDG
Epithalon is a synthetic peptide known as a telomerase activator. Research focuses on its potential to slow biological aging and improve cellular maintenance.
Molecular Properties
Molecular Formula
C14H22N4O9
Molecular Weight
390.3
CAS Number
307297-39-8
Research History
Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson in Russia, Epithalon is a derivative of the pineal peptide epithalamin. It has been extensively studied for its impact on telomere length and lifespan.
Studied Mechanisms
Epithalon increases the expression of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for lengthening telomeres, which helps maintain chromosomal stability and cell viability across multiple generations.
