Pinealon 10mg
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide with the sequence Glu-Asp-Arg, one of the Khavinson short peptide bioregulators. Supplied as 10mg lyophilized powder in a sealed vial for in-vitro laboratory research.
About Pinealon
Pinealon consists of just three amino acids — glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine, abbreviated EDR. Its small size is the point: the short peptide bioregulator hypothesis holds that tripeptides of this scale can enter the nucleus and interact directly with DNA, influencing transcription rather than acting at a cell-surface receptor.
It belongs to the same family as Epitalon, developed within Vladimir Khavinson's programme at the St Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Research in that literature focuses on neuroprotection and on gene-expression modulation in neuronal tissue.
A practical warning for anyone cross-checking identity: at least two incorrect CAS numbers for Pinealon circulate on competitor listings. Verify against both the registry number and the EDR sequence rather than the number alone.

Research applications
Pinealon is used in laboratory settings for work including:
- DNA-binding and transcriptional modulation studies
- Neuroprotection assays in cultured neuronal cells
- Short peptide bioregulator mechanism research
- Comparative work against other Khavinson peptides
Handling and storage
Lyophilized Pinealon should be stored at -20°C for long-term stability and protected from light and moisture. The sealed vial tolerates ambient temperature for the duration of transit without meaningful degradation.
For reconstitution, bacteriostatic water is typically used. Add the solvent slowly against the inner wall of the vial rather than directly onto the powder, and allow the peptide to dissolve without shaking. Vortexing introduces shear forces that can damage peptide structure. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C.
Purity verification
Every batch Athenex Labs supplies is verified at 99%+ purity by high-performance liquid chromatography, with molecular identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. We source directly from ISO-certified manufacturers rather than through reseller chains, and we test independently rather than relying solely on supplier documentation. A batch-specific certificate of analysis is available on request.
Frequently asked questions
What is the correct CAS number for Pinealon?
175175-23-2, corresponding to the Glu-Asp-Arg tripeptide, formula C15H26N6O8. Two incorrect numbers appear on competitor pages — 175135-33-8 and 61477-96-1 — and neither has a formula matching an EDR tripeptide. Verify by CAS and sequence together.
How is Pinealon related to Epitalon?
Both are Khavinson short peptide bioregulators from the same research programme. Epitalon is a tetrapeptide (AEDG) associated with pineal research; Pinealon is a tripeptide (EDR) studied mainly for neuroprotective effects.
What is the molecular weight?
Approximately 418.4 for the free peptide.
How should Pinealon be stored?
Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20 degrees C, protected from light and moisture. Reconstituted solution should be refrigerated at 2-8 degrees C.
