Mechanism of Action (Educational)
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp sequence) derived from pineal gland peptide extracts. It is part of the Khavinson peptide bioregulator series.
Experimental literature suggests Pinealon may modulate pineal gland function, support melatonin synthesis, and exert antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. It has been studied for its potential role in circadian rhythm regulation and age-associated cognitive decline.
Indications (Literature / Off-Label)
- Sleep regulation
- Neuroprotection research
- Cognitive aging support
- Circadian rhythm modulation
Administration (Literature)
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Route | Subcutaneous |
| Frequency | Once daily |
| Injection Sites | Abdomen or thigh |
| Timing | Evening, 1–2 hours before bedtime |
Titration Schedule (Literature)
- 100–200 mcg daily (initiation)
- 200–500 mcg daily based on response
- No formal escalation required
Evening dosing is recommended due to melatonin-related effects.
Pharmacokinetics (Literature)
- Short systemic half-life (hours)
- Sleep-related effects observed within days
- Long-term neuroprotective effects remain investigational
Reconstitution & Concentration (Mathematical Illustration Only)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Diluent | Bacteriostatic water (example only) |
| Reconstitution Volume | 2 mL (example) |
| Resulting Concentration | 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL) |
| Stability | Up to 28 days refrigerated (varies by formulation) |
Reconstitution Math Example
- 10 mg ÷ 2 mL = 5 mg/mL
- 0.02 mL = 100 mcg
- 0.04 mL = 200 mcg
- 0.10 mL = 500 mcg
