What Is Pinealon?
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide with the amino acid sequence Glu-Asp-Arg (EDR). It belongs to the Khavinson family of short peptide bioregulators developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology and is associated in the literature with neural-tissue research.
In experimental settings, Pinealon is studied as a neuroprotective probe. Reported cell-culture work suggests the tripeptide can penetrate the cell membrane and nuclear membrane to interact directly with DNA, positioning it as a model compound for peptide-DNA interaction studies in neural cells.
Present understanding derives largely from cell-culture and animal-model work reported by the originating research school; independent replication outside these groups remains limited. Findings should be interpreted within their experimental context and not treated as established outcomes. Puritide Research supplies Pinealon strictly for laboratory use; it is not approved here for human or veterinary application.
