Cardiogen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg) is a tetrapeptide bioregulator originally developed by the St Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It belongs to a class of short-chain peptide bioregulators known as cytomedins, which are thought to interact with DNA and regulate gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. Cardiogen demonstrates selective affinity for cardiac muscle tissue, making it a subject of considerable interest in cardiovascular and gerontological research.
In preclinical studies, Cardiogen has been investigated for its potential to modulate cardiomyocyte function, support myocardial cell homeostasis, and attenuate age-related deterioration of cardiac tissue. Researchers have explored its cytoprotective properties in models of cardiac stress, ischaemia, and cellular senescence. Its short amino acid sequence — just four residues — is thought to facilitate efficient cellular uptake and interaction with nuclear structures involved in transcriptional regulation.
