Epithalon (Epitalon): Research Guide & Technical Data

What Is Epithalon (Epitalon)?

Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide — Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG) — based on the natural pineal peptide epithalamin. It is a prominent tool compound in longevity and telomere research. This guide summarizes its structure, research background, and laboratory handling, provided strictly for research use only (RUO).

Research Background

In published preclinical and in-vitro research, Epithalon has been studied in the context of telomerase activity, telomere biology, pineal/circadian signaling, and cellular-aging models. It is not a drug or supplement and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
