Published research record
Counts of database records matching the compound's names, as of Oct 7, 2026. They describe how much has been published and in what kind of study, not what any study found.
| Record type | Count | Source |
|---|---|---|
| PubMed records (any study type) | 140 | PubMed search ↗ |
| …indexed as animal studies, with no human tag | 85 | PubMed search ↗ |
| …indexed as clinical trials (in people) | 1 | PubMed search ↗ |

PubMed query: epitalon[tiab] OR epithalon[tiab] OR "Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly"[tiab]. ClinicalTrials.gov query: epitalon OR epithalon. PubMed's study-type tags are added by indexers and lag new records, and keyword matches can include records that only mention the compound, so read these as rough counts.
Regulatory status
- FDA (compounding): FDA placed it in Category 2 of its bulk-drug-substances list (substances that may present significant safety risks in compounding). The nomination was later withdrawn, and it now appears on FDA's "nominated but withdrawn" list. FDA source ↗
- Research peptides from both vendors are sold for laboratory research use only, not for human or veterinary consumption. This summary isn't legal or regulatory advice.
