About Pinealon

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide, Glu-Asp-Arg, also written EDR after the one-letter codes of its three amino acids. It comes from the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, where Vladimir Khavinson's group studies very short peptides as regulators of gene activity [1]. Almost everything published on it comes from Russian laboratories, much of it from that group.

The research centres on neuroprotection under oxidative stress. In cultured cerebellar granule cells, neutrophils and PC12 cells, pinealon limited the build-up of reactive oxygen species and reduced necrotic cell death, alongside a delayed time course of ERK1/2 activation and changes in the cell cycle [1]. In a rat model of prenatal hyperhomocysteinaemia, treating pregnant dams was reported to improve their offspring's spatial learning and the resistance of their cerebellar neurons to oxidative stress [2]. In mouse hippocampal neurons exposed to amyloid, a cell model of Alzheimer's disease, the EDR peptide restored the number of mushroom-type dendritic spines [4].

The proposed mechanism is unusual for a peptide. Fluorescence-labelled pinealon has been seen inside the cell nucleus of HeLa cells, and in vitro it interacts with DNA in a sequence-dependent way [5]. The group's review proposes that it acts on the expression of genes such as caspase-3, SOD2 and the PPARs, and on MAPK/ERK signalling [3].

The evidence is early and narrow. It rests on cell work, rodent models and a few small human studies published in Russian, such as a 32-person study of biological-age markers in adults aged 41 to 83 [6]. There are no large controlled trials.

Questions about Pinealon

What purity is Pinealon?

Pinealon is synthesised to a ≥99% purity specification and supplied as lyophilized powder in a sealed glass vial. The specification is the standard the compound is made to, and it is listed with the rest of its specifications on this page.

How should Pinealon be stored?

Store at -20°C. Keep away from light. Lyophilized vials keep best at -20°C, protected from light and moisture; short-term storage at 4°C is acceptable, and the powder is stable at room temperature for the time it spends in the post.

What comes with Pinealon?

Each unit is one sealed glass vial of lyophilized powder. Nothing to reconstitute it with is included: bacteriostatic water and the rest of the bench consumables are sold separately under Lab Essentials.

How fast is UK delivery?

Orders placed and paid before 2pm on a business day (Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays) are dispatched the same day via Royal Mail Tracked 24 in discreet, protective packaging, and arrive usually the next working day after dispatch. Standard shipping is £4.99, free on orders over £80, and orders over £120 arrive with a free research vial. The minimum order is £15, before delivery. We ship within the United Kingdom only.

Can I change my mind and return an order?

If you are buying as a consumer, yes: you have 14 days from delivery to cancel, without giving a reason, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Tell us within 14 days, send the sealed vials back within 14 days, and we refund the goods plus the original delivery charge within 14 days. Return postage is at your cost unless the item was faulty or wrong. Opened vials are the one exception: our vials are sealed sterile, and regulation 28(3)(b) puts sealed goods that cannot be resold once unsealed, for health and hygiene reasons, outside the cancellation right.

Is Pinealon for human use?

No. Pinealon is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research by qualified professionals. It is not a drug, food, cosmetic or supplement, it is not intended for human or veterinary use, and we do not provide dosage or administration guidance of any kind.
