Pinealon (EDR) Research Tripeptide
Pinealon, also called EDR peptide, is the synthetic tripeptide Glu-Asp-Arg. It is supplied for laboratory investigation of short-peptide interactions, cellular stress models and gene-expression hypotheses.
The evidence base is limited and predominantly preclinical, with much of the published work originating from a small number of research groups. Claims about broad neuroprotective or anti-ageing outcomes should therefore be treated as hypotheses rather than established human effects.

Independent Batch Testing
Every current ZENTRA batch is independently tested and records an HPLC purity result above 99%. Use the batch number printed on the product label to locate the corresponding third-party report in our Batch Verification and COA Centre. Researchers should consult the individual report for the exact analytical methods, result and testing date for their supplied batch.
Research Context
Published studies have examined EDR in cell systems, peptide-DNA interaction models and animal models of oxidative or developmental stress. These experiments explore mechanisms such as gene-expression changes and reactive-oxygen-species accumulation.
They do not establish clinical efficacy, an approved indication or a validated human-use protocol. ZENTRA supplies only as an analytical research compound.
Storage and Handling
Keep unopened lyophilised material at approximately -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C for short-term laboratory storage. Protect from light, moisture and repeated temperature changes.
Pinealon Research FAQs
What is Pinealon?
Pinealon is the synthetic tripeptide Glu-Asp-Arg, commonly abbreviated EDR.
What is the correct molecular weight?
The neutral EDR tripeptide has a molecular weight of approximately 418.4 g/mol.
Is Pinealon the same as Epithalon?
No. Pinealon is EDR, a three-residue peptide. Epithalon/Epitalon is AEDG, a four-residue peptide.
What type of research has examined it?
The literature is mainly cell-based and animal research involving cellular stress, gene expression and peptide-DNA interaction hypotheses.
How is purity verified?
The current batch is independently HPLC tested above 99%, with its report linked to the label batch number.
Is it intended for human use?
No. It is supplied only for laboratory research and analytical work.
