Epithalon CAS 307297-39-8

Epithalon is a peptide used to regulate the cell cycle through up-regulation of telomerase activity. The sequence of amino acids in the peptide is Alanine-Glutamate-Asparagine-Glycine. Animal studies have been done on the effects of Epithalon on suppression of spontaneous mammary tumors and spontaneous carcinogenesis.

Main research on efficacy

Extending the lifespan of experimental animals: In models such as mice, rats, and fruit flies, this substance has demonstrated significant lifespan-extending effects. For example, for mice prone to heart disease and cancer, its lifespan can be increased by 27%; for healthy fruit flies and rats, it can reduce the mortality rate by 52%, mainly through genomic stability and antioxidant effects.

Inhibiting tumors and protecting the cardiovascular system: Animal experiments show that it can inhibit the growth of spontaneous tumors such as breast tumors, and it is speculated that this is achieved by regulating telomerase activity and the expression of oncogenes; another long-term trial for the elderly found that its related pineal gland preparation can improve heart health and reduce the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases by half.

Improving immunity and regulating physiological rhythms: By regulating the expression of immune-related genes, it can improve the immune system function of experimental animals; at the same time, it can restore the disordered secretion rhythm of melatonin in aged experimental animals, and has certain auxiliary effects on the stability of sleep rhythms and hormone balance.
