Cardiogen
Cardiogen is a synthetic short-chain tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg). Supplied as a lyophilized powder in sealed vials. Each batch has its own certificate of analysis (COA), which opens when you scan the QR code on the label. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Cardiogen research profile
Cardiogen is the name used for the synthetic tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg (AEDR), developed by V. Kh. Khavinson's group. Published work includes rat cardiac and tumour models, isolated-heart preparations and cardiac tissue explants, much of it described in the developers' patent.
