Overview
Epithalon is a four-amino-acid synthetic peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) designed as the active analog of epithalamin, a polypeptide preparation isolated from the pineal gland. It emerged from decades of gerontology research at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology.
Published preclinical work has studied epithalon in the context of telomerase activity in cultured cells, circadian regulation of melatonin production, and lifespan studies in animal models — making it a recurring subject in peptide-bioregulator and aging-biology literature. These are preclinical observations that do not establish clinical efficacy.
BioTech Pharma supplies epithalon as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only. Lot-specific analytical documentation may be available and should be confirmed for the applicable material; availability and commercial terms, including bulk quantities, are confirmed per enquiry.
Research Applications
- Telomerase activity studies in cell culture
- Pineal function and melatonin-rhythm research
- Peptide-bioregulator research programs
- Aging and lifespan model studies

Analytical Data
Lot-specific documentation may be available for the applicable material and must be confirmed per enquiry. Where available, it may include:
- HPLC purity result
- LC-MS identity confirmation
- Appearance
- Net content
Request the records you need with your quote and we will confirm availability for your batch.
Procurement Details
Availability, lead time, salt / content basis, and cold-chain requirements depend on the specific lot and quantity, so we confirm them per enquiry rather than publishing fixed figures. Request confirmation for your requirements with your quote and our team will respond with details for the applicable batch.
Storage & Handling
Lyophilized: store at −20 °C, protected from light. Reconstituted: keep at 2–8 °C and determine working-solution stability empirically per lot, as reconstituted stability varies with diluent, concentration, and handling.
