Pinealon

Compound Overview

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Arg) in the Khavinson bioregulatory peptide family. Controlled research evaluates its interactions with DNA promoter regions and studies possible effects on pineal gland function, melatonin synthesis regulation, and neuroprotective signaling pathways.

Research Background & Published Literature

Prof. Vladimir Khavinson developed Pinealon as part of a bioregulatory peptide research program focused on short peptides that may interact with gene expression patterns. Published work has appeared in Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine.

Storage, Handling & Stability Guidelines

For long-term stability, store lyophilized Pinealon material at -20°C. After reconstitution with sterile diluent, keep the preparation refrigerated at 2–8°C and minimize freeze-thaw exposure by aliquoting working volumes according to your laboratory's standard operating procedures.

• Keep ambient-temperature handling time as short as practical to support compound integrity.
• Reseal vials promptly after each withdrawal to limit moisture exposure.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow institutional chemical safety protocols at all times.
• For traceability, label all aliquots with compound name, concentration, reconstitution date, and operator initials.
