Pinealon
Also known as EDR peptide, Glu-Asp-Arg, Pinealon tripeptide
Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg) is a synthetic tripeptide from the Russian bioregulator family, studied with a focus on neuronal and brain-tissue research. A research-use profile distinct from epitalon.
Pinealon comes from the same tradition as epitalon — the Russian 'peptide bioregulator' program of very short, defined synthetic sequences — but it is its own molecule with its own emphasis. It is a tripeptide, Glu-Asp-Arg, shorter than epitalon by a residue.
The distinction worth keeping is the tissue focus. Where epitalon is discussed against a pineal and telomere backdrop, pinealon is studied more often in the context of neuronal and brain-tissue research. This page describes what pinealon is and where it sits in the literature, and treats those contexts as research areas, not promised effects.
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Arg). It belongs to the same Russian 'short peptide bioregulator' program as epitalon, but where epitalon is a four-residue peptide associated with pineal preparations, pinealon is a three-residue sequence studied with a neural-tissue emphasis.
A tripeptide with a neural emphasis
Pinealon is three amino acids long: glutamate, aspartate, arginine. Like the rest of the bioregulator family, it was designed as a minimal defined sequence rather than a large protein, on the premise that short peptides could be studied as signaling motifs.
Its distinguishing feature within the family is emphasis: pinealon is examined most often in neuronal and central-nervous-system research contexts, which is what separates its write-up from that of epitalon or the cartilage-focused cartalax.
Where it sits among the bioregulators
It helps to see pinealon as one node in a small web of related short peptides. Epitalon (four residues) sits near it, as does cartalax; all share the same design philosophy and research lineage. What differs between them is the tissue system each is most associated with in the literature. Grouping them by lineage is accurate; assigning them effects is not.
Because of its neural emphasis, pinealon is also discussed alongside brain-research peptides such as semax and selank, though those come from a different design tradition.
These are research areas the compound is associated with in the literature — not medical claims or intended uses.
Handling & storage
Supplied lyophilized. Kept sealed and cold; in research settings it is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water only when a protocol requires it, then refrigerated. Handle per accepted laboratory practice.

They come from the same Russian bioregulator family but are different molecules: pinealon is a three-residue tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Arg) studied with a neural-tissue emphasis, while epitalon is a four-residue peptide associated with pineal and telomere research.
Three amino acids — glutamate, aspartate, arginine (Glu-Asp-Arg). It is one of the short, defined tripeptides in the bioregulator literature.
It is studied most often in neuronal and brain-tissue research contexts, which is the emphasis that distinguishes it from other peptides in the same family.
