| Half-life | ~few minutes (short tetrapeptide) |
| Mechanism (summary) | Epithalon (Epitalon, AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide developed as a defined analog related to epithalamin, a pineal polypeptide preparation. The compound is best known in the Khavinson gerontology literature; modern independent human trial evidence is sparse, and the strongest data remain cellular. |
| Dosing notes | A modern reproducible human dosing standard was not retrievable from accessible primary sources. Historical Russian-language cyclic regimens are mentioned in reviews but accessible sources do not provide a standardized contemporary human regimen with validated safety margins. |
| Storage | Supplier datasheets recommend frozen storage. One technical sheet specifies -20 °C before reconstitution, protected from light, and 4 °C after reconstitution. Another supplier lists powder at -20 °C up to 3 years and solution at -80 °C for 1 year. Practical research-handling notes only, not peer-reviewed stability studies. |
