## Mechanism
A synthetic tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Arg) in the Khavinson short-peptide bioregulator family. Research from Russian gerontology groups proposes gene-expression modulation linked to neuronal survival and cognitive performance.

## Research areas
- Cognitive aging in rodent models
- Neuronal apoptosis under oxidative stress
- Circadian and neuroendocrine regulation

## Common research protocols
- Cyclic research dosing: Short subcutaneous cycles in Russian gerontology protocols.

## Study summaries
- "Pinealon protects neurons from oxidative stress" — Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine (2012): Reduced apoptosis markers in cultured neurons under H2O2 challenge.

## Considerations
- Most evidence from Russian literature; independent replication is limited.
- Not FDA-approved.
