Researchers interested in studying the benefits of epithalon may see it sold under a variety of other names including epitalon, epithalone, and AEDG peptide, the latter a reference to its amino acid sequence
The systematic description reflects both: an N-acetylated norleucine followed by a cyclized Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys sequence with a C-terminal amide
Based on a receptor-interaction model, structural modifications of the benzene and pyridine rings led to the identification of compound 26 (Figure 5), which includes a 2,4-dichlorophenyl group at two positions, as a potent (IC 50 = 0.13 M), selective (DPP-8/DPP-4 = 215, DPP-9/DPP-4 = 192), and in vivo efficacious DPP-4 inhibitor
