Description
N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate is a modified version of Epitalon (Epithalon), a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from epithalamin. The N-acetyl and amidate modifications are designed to enhance peptide stability and bioavailability by protecting against enzymatic degradation. This peptide is researched for its potential effects on telomerase activity and cellular aging processes.
Usage
Research protocols typically involve subcutaneous injection at doses ranging from 5-10mg per day, often administered in cycles of 10-20 consecutive days followed by rest periods. Some protocols suggest twice-daily dosing for enhanced effect. Cycles are commonly repeated 2-4 times per year in research settings.
Mechanism of Action
N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate is theorized to work through activation of telomerase enzyme, which may help maintain telomere length in cells. The N-acetylation at the N-terminus and amidation at the C-terminus protect the peptide from rapid degradation by aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases, potentially extending its active duration in biological systems. The parent compound Epitalon has been studied for effects on pineal gland function and melatonin regulation.
