N-Acetyl Epithalon Amidate — EU research guide.
N-Acetyl Epithalon Amidate is a modified version of Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) with an acetyl group and amide cap added to its two ends — changes intended to improve stability, in the same way N-Acetyl variants of Selank and Semax modify their parent peptides.
What is N-Acetyl Epithalon Amidate?
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide studied for telomerase activation and pineal-gland/melatonin regulation. Adding an N-terminal acetyl group and C-terminal amide is a common peptide-engineering technique meant to resist enzymatic degradation from both ends of the chain, potentially extending activity duration compared with the unmodified peptide.
Research context
No published research on the acetylated/amidated variant specifically could be found, unlike for standard Epitalon itself, whose telomerase and pineal-function studies form the bulk of the evidence base referenced for this compound class.

Potency retained over time
Each line is one storage condition: it starts at 100% and falls as potency is lost. Above the dashed 80% line the material is considered reliable — hover for exact values.
