Epitalon (Research Grade)

Epitalon (epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide — Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly — derived from the pineal bioregulator epithalamin. It is the reference compound in telomerase-activation and circadian bioregulator research.

Epitalon specifications

Reference data researchers look up before ordering epitalon. Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.

  • Class: pineal bioregulator tetrapeptide
  • Sequence: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
  • Also spelled: epithalon, epithalamin
  • Storage: -20°C lyophilized

Epitalon purity testing and certificate of analysis

Each epitalon lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.

  • ≥99% HPLC purity specification
  • LC-MS mass confirmation on every batch
  • Endotoxin and sterility panel documentation
  • Lot-matched epitalon COA published on the certifications page

Epitalon reconstitution and BAC water ratios

Epitalon ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.

  • 10mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 5mg per mL (10 units = 500mcg)
  • 50mg vial + 5mL BAC water = 10mg per mL (5 units = 500mcg)
  • Short chain, highly soluble — dissolves almost instantly
  • Refrigerate after reconstitution

Where to buy epitalon

PX1 Research synthesizes and fills epitalon in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

Is it spelled epitalon or epithalon?

Both spellings refer to the same Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide; epithalon is the transliteration used in most Russian-language literature.

What is N-acetyl epitalon amidate?

A modified analog with an acetylated N-terminus and amidated C-terminus, studied for greater enzymatic stability than base epitalon.

Is a certificate of analysis provided with epitalon?

Yes. Every epitalon lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.

How should epitalon be stored?

Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
