Pinealon
Synthetic tripeptide
Also known as Glu-Asp-Arg, EDR tripeptide
A tripeptide from the same Russian 'bioregulator' research programme as epithalon, studied in neuronal cell culture and rodent models of brain ageing and hypoxia.

How this compound is tested
Tripeptide: LC-MS identity and HPLC purity are straightforward; water content relevant to net content.
Research background
Pinealon is one of several short peptides developed at the St Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Published work examines neuronal cell survival in culture and behavioural endpoints in rodent models of cerebral ischaemia and ageing.
Mechanisms investigated in published research
These are the mechanisms examined in the cited literature. Describing them is not a claim that the compound produces any effect in humans.
- Proposed effects on neuronal gene expression and antioxidant defence in cell models.
- Reported protection of neurons against oxidative stress in culture.
Summary of evidence
Laboratory and animal findings are kept separate from human clinical evidence.
Preclinical findings
Cell-culture and rodent studies from the originating institute; independent replication is limited.
Human clinical evidence
No controlled human trials were identified.
Limitations and open questions
- Single-source literature.
- Sparse mechanistic characterisation.
- No CAS number is published on this profile until verified; do not rely on supplier catalogue numbers without checking.
