Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide composed of four amino-acid residues in the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. Its compact and chemically defined structure makes it suitable for controlled laboratory and analytical research involving peptide identification, structural characterization, molecular interactions, biochemical systems, and comparative analytical studies.

PubChem identifies Epitalon/Epithalon with molecular formula C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₉, molecular weight approximately 390.35 g/mol, and the sequence AEDG.

For accurate technical documentation, the exact chemical form, purity specification, counter-ion status, and lot-specific analytical profile should be confirmed using the applicable Certificate of Analysis.

Research Applications

Epithalon may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:

  • Peptide identity and characterization
  • Molecular interaction studies
  • Structure-function analysis
  • Biochemical pathway research
  • Analytical peptide comparison
  • Stability assessment
  • Non-clinical cellular and molecular models

Any experimental observations should remain specific to the applicable research system and should not be interpreted as evidence of therapeutic, anti-aging, longevity-related, or clinical effectiveness.

Structural Information

Epithalon consists of four amino-acid residues:

Its short linear peptide structure supports direct sequence-based analytical identification.

Analytical Identification

Relevant characterization may include:

  • Sequence confirmation
  • Molecular mass assessment
  • Chromatographic purity testing
  • Peptide identity verification
  • Structural analysis
  • Lot-specific quality testing

If the supplied material is present as an acetate or another salt/counter-ion form, molecular specifications should be matched to that exact preparation.

Specifications & Documentation

Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:

  • Compound identity
  • Amino-acid sequence
  • Molecular formula
  • Molecular weight
  • Purity specification
  • Salt or counter-ion form
  • Analytical testing
  • Lot or batch information
  • Certificate of Analysis
  • Storage requirements

Authenticated product-specific analytical records should take precedence over generalized reference values.

Storage & Handling

Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide integrity.

Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research materials.
