Scientific overview

Research summary: Short bioregulator peptide referenced in neuronal oxidative-stress models.

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide bioregulator from the same Russian research programme that produced Epitalon, developed as a short peptide with reported affinity for neuronal chromatin.

Mechanism of action

Described in the literature as penetrating the nuclear compartment of neuronal cells and interacting with regulatory DNA sequences, modulating expression of antioxidant and anti-apoptotic genes under hypoxic stress in culture models.

Areas of scientific investigation

  • Neuronal culture stress-response models
  • Peptide-DNA interaction studies
  • Hypoxia and oxidative-stress protection assays
  • Short-peptide bioregulator research

Listed fields describe where this sequence appears in published in vitro and preclinical literature. They are not indications, applications, or claims of effect.

Laboratory handling

Reconstitution

Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation on the lyophilized cake. Add sterile or bacteriostatic water slowly down the inner wall of the vial, then let the powder dissolve without agitation; swirl gently if needed. Do not shake or vortex — shear forces denature peptide secondary structure and cause foaming that traps material on the stopper.

Stability

As a sealed lyophilized powder the material is stable for extended periods at -20 °C when kept desiccated and protected from light. Once in solution, stability shortens considerably: aqueous stocks are normally held at 2-8 °C for short term work or aliquoted and frozen for longer storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycling is the most common cause of measurable potency loss.

Packaging

Single sequence per vial, sealed under inert gas in USP Type I borosilicate glass with a butyl rubber stopper and crimped aluminium overseal. Each vial carries a printed PrimeGen label with product name, strength, lot number, manufacture and retest dates, storage temperature and a QR code linking to the lot record. Vials ship in a rigid foam insert inside a protective mailer at ambient temperature.

Research use only

For laboratory research purposes only. Not intended for human or veterinary use. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Purchasers are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

Short regulatory peptides and experimental design

Pinealon is a tripeptide — glutamate, aspartate, arginine — from the same family of short regulatory sequences as epitalon, and it is studied largely in neuronal culture models examining oxidative stress and cell survival. Three residues is close to the practical floor for a peptide, and everything about its behaviour follows from that: high aqueous solubility, rapid proteolysis in serum, and a molecular weight low enough that mass-spectrometric identification is trivially clean.

The design consequence is exposure. With a short half-life in complete medium, single-addition experiments produce a declining concentration profile rather than a steady one, so published protocols frequently re-dose or use reduced-serum conditions during the exposure window. Reporting which of these was used is essential when comparing results between laboratories, because the effective exposure differs by more than the nominal concentration suggests.

Both fill weights of this compound are released against the same specification and documented per lot.

The 10 mg Pinealon presentation

This page documents one specific presentation: a sealed vial filled to a nominal 10 mg of lyophilized Pinealon, released at 99.2% chromatographic purity by reverse-phase HPLC and confirmed for identity by an independent laboratory. Each fill weight is catalogued separately because each has its own lot history and its own certificate of analysis — the analytical summary shown here belongs to this presentation rather than to the compound in general.

At $34.00 per vial the 10 mg presentation works out at roughly $3.40 per nominal milligram of peptide before any volume discount. That figure is the only fair basis for comparing this listing with another supplier's, since vial price alone says nothing about how much material is inside. Note that it is calculated on nominal fill weight; net peptide content on the lot certificate is lower, because lyophilized peptide also carries counter-ion and residual moisture.

Pinealon is also catalogued as 15 mg. Choosing between them is a planning decision rather than a pricing one: the controlling factor is how much material a study can consume once a vial is opened and reconstituted, because a sealed dry vial is stable for a long period while a working solution is not. Buying a larger fill to lower the unit cost and then discarding half of it after repeated freeze-thaw cycling introduces exactly the variability the experiment is trying to avoid.

  • Nominal fill: 10 mg of lyophilized powder in a sealed USP Type I borosilicate vial.
  • Released purity: 99.2% by RP-HPLC, with identity confirmed by third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry.
  • Published average molecular weight: 418.4 g/mol.
  • Supplied without diluent — the receiving laboratory selects diluent, concentration and aliquoting strategy.
  • Certificates are issued digitally against the lot code and are not enclosed in the shipment.

Pinealon 10 mg — laboratory research dossier

This dossier collects everything a laboratory typically needs before requisitioning Pinealon at the 10 mg presentation: how the sequence is characterised in published literature, how the material is assayed and released, how it should be stored and reconstituted, and where it sits inside the wider longevity & cellular research catalogue. Every unit is supplied as a sealed lyophilized powder at 99.2% and is sold exclusively for laboratory research use. It is not a drug, dietary supplement or cosmetic, and it is not intended for human or veterinary use.

Scientific background

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide bioregulator from the same Russian research programme that produced Epitalon, developed as a short peptide with reported affinity for neuronal chromatin.

Short bioregulator peptide referenced in neuronal oxidative-stress models. Investigators most often encounter this sequence in neuronal culture stress-response models and in peptide-dna interaction studies, which is why the 10 mg vial is the format we release most frequently — it gives enough material for a full dose-response series at typical assay concentrations without leaving a large reconstituted surplus to store. This compound is catalogued at 2 strengths (10 mg, 15 mg), so a study can be scaled without changing lot chemistry.

Mechanism of action in published work

Described in the literature as penetrating the nuclear compartment of neuronal cells and interacting with regulatory DNA sequences, modulating expression of antioxidant and anti-apoptotic genes under hypoxic stress in culture models.

Descriptions above summarise observations reported in peer reviewed in vitro and animal literature. They describe what has been measured in model systems and are not claims of effect, indications, or guidance for use in humans or animals. Laboratories designing new work should return to the primary literature for concentration ranges, vehicle selection and control design, because reported effects in this class are strongly assay dependent.

Research applications

Published work involving Pinealon clusters into a small number of recurring experimental settings:

  • Neuronal culture stress-response models
  • Peptide-DNA interaction studies
  • Hypoxia and oxidative-stress protection assays
  • Short-peptide bioregulator research

Because these are in vitro and preclinical contexts, the practical requirement on the material itself is consistency: a known mass of a single sequence, a stated purity, and a lot record that can be cited in a methods section. That is what the 10 mg vial and its accompanying certificate of analysis are designed to provide.

Purity, quality control and the certificate of analysis

Each Pinealon lot is assayed in house by reverse-phase HPLC and then re-tested by an independent analytical laboratory using HPLC alongside mass spectrometry for identity confirmation. The HPLC trace establishes the chromatographic purity figure printed on the label — 99.2% for the current release — while the mass spectrometry step confirms that the observed molecular ion matches the expected mass for the sequence rather than a truncated or deletion analogue.

Certificates are issued digitally rather than enclosed in the shipment, which keeps the document versioned and retrievable long after the vial is consumed. You can view or request the current report from the certificates library, and the underlying chromatograms and spectra can be requested through laboratory support. Our full release criteria are documented on the quality control and laboratory standards pages.

Storage, reconstitution and stability

Storage. Sealed 10 mg vials are held desiccated and protected from light. Short holding periods at 2-8 °C are routine; for longer storage the lyophilized cake is kept at -20 °C. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before breaking the seal so that atmospheric moisture does not condense onto the powder.

Reconstitution. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation on the lyophilized cake. Add sterile or bacteriostatic water slowly down the inner wall of the vial, then let the powder dissolve without agitation; swirl gently if needed. Do not shake or vortex — shear forces denature peptide secondary structure and cause foaming that traps material on the stopper.

Stability. As a sealed lyophilized powder the material is stable for extended periods at -20 °C when kept desiccated and protected from light. Once in solution, stability shortens considerably: aqueous stocks are normally held at 2-8 °C for short term work or aliquoted and frozen for longer storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycling is the most common cause of measurable potency loss.

Handling. Work with the reconstituted solution under standard laboratory containment, record the reconstitution volume and date against the lot, and label aliquots with the resulting concentration. Volumes and concentrations are set by your own protocol; nothing on this page is a dosing instruction.

Experimental design considerations

The most common source of irreproducibility with lyophilized peptides is not the sequence itself but the arithmetic around it. A 10 mg vial contains a nominal peptide mass; the actual peptide content of any lyophilized cake also reflects counter-ion and residual moisture content, so laboratories reporting exact molar concentrations should either use the net peptide content figure from the lot certificate or determine content independently by amino acid analysis or quantitative UV. Using the published average mass of 418.4 g/mol, a full 10 mg vial reconstituted in 1 mL of diluent gives a convenient round stock concentration for serial dilution.

Three practical points recur in method sections for this class of material:

  • Vehicle matters. Record the diluent, its preservative content and its pH alongside the concentration. Bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable in every assay, and benzyl alcohol can interfere with sensitive cell based readouts.
  • Adsorption is real. At low working concentrations, peptides adsorb to polypropylene and glass. Low-bind labware or a carrier protein in the dilution buffer keeps the delivered concentration close to the nominal one.
  • Cite the lot. Because purity, counter-ion and net content vary between syntheses, methods sections should name the supplier lot for Pinealon so a later replication can be matched to the same analytical record.

Where a study spans several weeks, aliquoting the reconstituted stock immediately and freezing single-use volumes avoids the freeze-thaw cycling that accounts for most of the potency drift observed in longitudinal work.

Choosing the right presentation

Pinealon is released at 10 mg, 15 mg. Larger presentations lower the cost per milligram but commit a laboratory to using or storing more reconstituted material; smaller vials suit pilot work, method development and screening plates where a single stock is consumed quickly. The 10 mg vial listed on this page is priced at $34.00. Whatever presentation you select, the underlying material comes from the same synthesis and release programme, so switching strength does not change the analytical profile.

Orders ship from our facility in Chase City, Virginia, within the United States only, and every shipment carries the research use restriction on the outer documentation. Vials travel at ambient temperature in a rigid insert; lyophilized peptide is stable for the transit window, and the material should be moved to its long term storage temperature on arrival. Research materials are non returnable once dispatched.

Related research compounds and documentation

Laboratories sourcing Pinealon frequently reference MOTS-c 5 mg, Epitalon 10 mg, NAD+ 500 mg and SS-31 10 mg alongside it, either as comparators in the same assay or as adjacent sequences in the same pathway literature.

Quality programme and laboratory support

Every Pinealon release passes through the same programme: synthesis against a defined sequence, in-house RP-HPLC purity assay, independent third party HPLC and mass spectrometry confirmation, visual inspection of the lyophilized cake, and a documented fill and seal step under inert gas in USP Type I borosilicate glass. Material that fails any stage is not released, and the certificate published for a lot is the certificate generated for that specific synthesis — never a representative or historical document carried over from an earlier batch.

Laboratories evaluating Pinealon for the first time frequently ask for the raw analytical files rather than the summary certificate. Chromatograms, mass spectra and, where applicable, net peptide content data can be requested for any lot; our support team answers analytical questions directly rather than through a ticket queue. Institutional purchasing, repeat supply for multi-month studies and quotations for multiple strengths are handled the same way.

Terminology used on this page

Lyophilized
Freeze dried under vacuum. Removing water as vapour rather than liquid leaves a porous cake that dissolves quickly and is far more stable in storage than a peptide held in solution, which is why Pinealon is supplied this way rather than pre-reconstituted.
RP-HPLC purity
Reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography separates the target sequence from synthesis-related impurities by hydrophobicity. The reported figure — 99.2% for this material — is the target peak area as a percentage of total integrated peak area.
Mass spectrometry confirmation
An orthogonal identity check. Purity alone cannot distinguish the correct sequence from a co-eluting analogue of similar hydrophobicity; measuring the molecular ion against the expected 418.4 g/mol confirms that the peak being integrated is the intended molecule.
Net peptide content
The fraction of the vial mass that is peptide rather than counter-ion or residual water. It is the figure to use when converting a 10 mg fill into an exact molar stock concentration.
Research use only
The material is sold for in vitro and laboratory investigation by qualified personnel. It is not a medicine, supplement, food or cosmetic, carries no approval for human or veterinary administration, and must be handled under the purchasing institution’s own safety procedures.

Frequently asked questions

What is included with each Pinealon vial?

Each unit contains 10 mg of lyophilized Pinealon in a sealed vial. The lot matched certificate of analysis is available digitally on the Certificates page and is not physically enclosed in the shipment.

How is purity verified?

Every lot is assayed in house by RP-HPLC and then re-tested by an independent laboratory using HPLC and mass spectrometry. This lot reports 99.2%.

How should the vial be reconstituted?

Reconstitution parameters depend on your protocol. Use bacteriostatic or sterile diluent, add slowly against the vial wall, and swirl rather than shake to avoid shearing the peptide.

Can I request the raw analytical data?

Yes. Chromatograms and MS spectra for any lot can be requested through the certificates page or by contacting the laboratory support team.

Is Pinealon intended for human use?

No. Pinealon is supplied strictly as a laboratory research chemical. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic, it is not approved for human or veterinary use, and it must not be administered to humans or animals.

How should Pinealon be stored before and after reconstitution?

Sealed 10 mg vials are held desiccated, protected from light, and away from repeated temperature swings; 2-8 °C suits short holding periods while -20 °C is used for longer storage of the lyophilized cake. Once reconstituted, the solution is normally kept at 2-8 °C for near-term work or aliquoted into single-use volumes and frozen, since repeated freeze-thaw cycling is the most common cause of measurable potency loss.

How much material is in one Pinealon vial?

Each vial is filled to a nominal 10 mg of lyophilized peptide, with a published average molecular weight of 418.4 g/mol. Because lyophilized peptide also carries counter-ion and residual moisture, laboratories reporting exact molar concentrations should use the net peptide content on the lot certificate or determine content independently.

What analytical methods are used to release a Pinealon lot?

Every lot is assayed in house by reverse-phase HPLC for chromatographic purity, then re-tested by an independent laboratory using HPLC alongside mass spectrometry to confirm that the observed mass matches the expected sequence rather than a truncated or deletion analogue. The release specification is ≥ 98% by RP-HPLC; this lot reports 99.2%.

Does Pinealon ship internationally?

No. Orders ship within the United States only, dispatched directly from our facility in Chase City, Virginia. Vials travel at ambient temperature in a rigid protective insert, and the lyophilized powder is stable across the transit window; move the material to its long-term storage temperature on arrival.

Can Pinealon be returned or exchanged?

No. Research materials are non-returnable once dispatched, because chain-of-custody and storage conditions cannot be verified after a vial leaves the facility. If a shipment arrives damaged or a lot does not match its certificate of analysis, contact laboratory support and we will resolve it directly.
