Epitalon, also known as Epithalon or Epithalone, is a synthetic short-chain peptide composed of four amino acids in the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG).
Its compact and well-defined tetrapeptide structure has made Epitalon a subject of laboratory investigation involving peptide chemistry, molecular interactions, cellular systems, and related biochemical pathways. Research has included in vitro, animal, and limited human investigations, while important questions regarding its mechanisms and safety remain unresolved.
Epitalon is supplied as a research material for controlled laboratory, biochemical, and analytical applications.
