Lyophilisate in a glass vialAbout Bioregulators
Bioregulators are very short peptides of two to four amino acids, studied mainly in Russian research. Their names refer to the tissue they were originally derived from. In the lab, interest centres on their interactions at cell level.
The sequences are short and easy to follow: epithalon is Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, pinealon Glu-Asp-Arg, vesugen Lys-Glu-Asp, livagen Lys-Glu-Asp-Ala and cortagen Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro. Cardiogen, pancragen, prostamax and testagen are further tetrapeptides of this group. Because the molecules are so small, the molecular mass is usually below 600 g/mol. Even small modifications such as an acetyl group therefore make a noticeable difference to the mass.
Most bioregulators are charged and dissolve well in water. Epithalon, N-acetyl epithalon and cortagen also come as a spray bottle, and epithalon in a mix with GHK-Cu.

Common questions
Where do the bioregulator names come from?
They refer to the tissue the peptides were originally derived from, such as cardiogen to the heart or livagen to the liver. The names say nothing about an effect.
What is the difference between epithalon and N-acetyl epithalon?
The N-acetylated form carries an acetyl group at the N-terminus and is 42 g/mol heavier as a result. The data comparison shows both side by side.
How do I dissolve such short peptides?
Water is usually enough. Because the amounts are small, it is often more accurate to dissolve the whole vial in a known volume than to weigh out portions.
