Ships from the United States with tracking · free shipping over $200
Certificates of analysis
Each certificate covers one production run, and reports on that batch alone. Open any of them to read the laboratory report exactly as the third-party lab issued it.
Authenticity
Scan the code on the label to pull up every published certificate for that compound — the same reports the third-party laboratory issued, batch by batch. Traceable from the laboratory that tested it to your bench.
Verify a batch →Independently tested
Purity is quantified by reverse-phase HPLC and identity confirmed by mass spectrometry, by an outside laboratory rather than in-house.
A certificate for your lot
The report that ships with your order describes the batch you received — not the product line, and not a representative sample.
COA-backed replacement
If material does not match the certificate issued for its lot, we replace it or refund it. Send us the lot number and we will trace it.
Tracked dispatch
Tracking is issued when the label is created, so the shipment is traceable from the moment it leaves us.
About this compound
C14H22N4O9
Epithalon is a four-residue peptide derived from epithalamin, a pineal extract studied extensively in Soviet-era research. It is most often examined in the context of telomerase activity and cellular senescence, and much of the primary literature originates from that original research programme rather than from independent replication.
Full specification
How it works
The pathways Epithalon acts on, and what each one does. Signalling described from preclinical models.
Telomerase Activation & Telomere Biology
Cultured human somatic cell work reports induction of hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, with telomere length measured as the downstream endpoint. Most of that record traces to a single research programme rather than to independent replication.
Pineal Peptide Signaling
Modeled on the pineal extract epithalamin, the peptide has been studied for its influence on melatonin rhythm and circadian regulation — the endpoints its origin would predict.
Chromatin & Antioxidant Regulation
Preclinical work describes direct interaction with DNA and altered expression of senescence-associated and antioxidant genes, positioning the peptide as a transcriptional modulator rather than a receptor ligand.
Uses & applications
The main areas under study, and the study-reported figures behind them.
Telomerase induction and telomere length are the measured endpoints, mostly in cultured human somatic cells.
Khavinson et al. 2003
Melatonin rhythm is studied on the basis of the peptide's origin in pineal extract rather than from a receptor mechanism.
Anisimov et al. 2003
Antioxidant gene expression is reported to shift, consistent with the transcriptional rather than receptor-mediated framing.
Khavinson 2002
Long-duration rodent studies dominate here, and much of the record traces to one research programme rather than independent replication.

FAQ
Epithalon is a four-residue peptide derived from epithalamin, a pineal extract studied extensively in Soviet-era research. It is most often examined in the context of telomerase activity and cellular senescence, and much of the primary literature originates from that original research programme rather than from independent replication.
Published research on Epithalon concentrates on Cellular Senescence, Circadian & Pineal, Antioxidant Defense and Age-Model Research. Each of those areas is summarised further up this page with the citation it comes from, and the full reference list — 4 indexed publications — sits at the bottom. Study designs and concentrations vary considerably between publications, so the primary sources are worth reading directly.
The literature describes Epithalon acting across Telomerase Activation & Telomere Biology, Pineal Peptide Signaling and Chromatin & Antioxidant Regulation, reported respectively as Telomerase, Pineal / Circadian and Gene Expression. Those pathways are drawn from preclinical models rather than clinical work, and they describe what has been observed rather than a settled mechanism — the individual pathway cards above cite what each one is based on.
Epithalon has a molecular formula of C14H22N4O9 and an average mass of 390.35 g/mol. It is indexed under CAS 307297-39-8. It ships as lyophilized powder. Those are nominal reference values for the parent compound. The identity of the specific material you receive is confirmed by mass spectrometry and reported on that lot's certificate.
Store the sealed vial at -20°C, protected from light and moisture, and let it reach room temperature before opening so condensation does not form on cold powder. Keep reconstituted solution refrigerated and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles — solutions are far less stable than lyophilized powder.
No. Epithalon is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and development. It is not a drug, food, supplement or cosmetic, it has not been evaluated by the FDA, and it is not intended for human or animal consumption, ingestion, injection or any in-vivo use. Ordering confirms you are a qualified researcher or institution purchasing on that basis.
