Cardiogen at a glance

Cardiogen, sometimes written as AEDR, consists of alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine. It is part of the short-peptide bioregulator series developed at Vladimir Khavinson's institute in St. Petersburg, in which each sequence is matched to an organ. Cardiogen is the heart-associated member, designed with reference to peptides isolated from cardiac tissue. A close relative, Cortagen, differs only in its final residue and is assigned to nervous tissue instead.

Lab testing

There is no public lab report for this listing yet. We can ask the brand for the batch COA before you order. Many buyers also split an independent HPLC test with others who bought the same batch.

Bought through escrow: the brand is only paid after you confirm delivery. If the parcel never arrives, or an independent test shows the wrong compound or a significant under-fill, open a claim before releasing payment.

What it is studied for

Its developers propose that Cardiogen acts on gene expression controlling cell division and programmed cell death, rather than through a membrane receptor. In cell culture they have reported improved survival of heart muscle cells under stress and effects on the growth of fibroblasts, the cells that produce connective tissue and scar. Some studies also describe changes in proteins associated with apoptosis. The molecular target remains undefined, and these mechanisms have not been worked out outside the originating group.

Research and regulatory status

The research base is preclinical: cardiac cell cultures and rodent experiments, published mostly in Russian-language sources by the developers and their collaborators. No registered human trials exist, and Cardiogen holds no approval as a medicine. Its findings are provisional, and anyone citing them should note how narrow the evidence base is. It is listed on the marketplace for laboratory research only.

Checking the lab data

A useful certificate for Cardiogen pairs HPLC purity with a mass spectrometry result matching Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg. Because Cortagen differs by a single residue, the mass check readily separates the two. The report should also state measured peptide content per vial, describe a white freeze-dried cake, and name the sequence explicitly rather than relying on the product name, with the testing lab and batch number shown.

No independent report is attached to this listing yet. You can compare brands that publish one on the marketplace or browse the lab reports directory.

Listing details

Compound: Cardiogen
Synonyms: AEDR peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg)
Class: Synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator
Format: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
Vial strength: 20mg
Vials per kit: 10
Total content: 200 mg
Price per mg: $0.55
Sold by: TFC Peptides
Ships from: Tianjin, China
Lab report: Not yet published

Storage and preparation

Keep unopened freeze-dried vials cold, sealed and out of the light; moisture is what degrades a lyophilized cake fastest. After reconstitution, refrigerate the solution and work within the stability window your protocol sets.

Concentration arithmetic: one 20 mg vial dissolved in 2 mL gives 10 mg/mL, or 20 mg/mL in 1 mL. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard handles any other volume.

Buyer questions

Why would heart research use a short peptide like this?

Within the bioregulator program, Cardiogen is a tool for testing whether a tissue-assigned peptide can influence cell survival and repair processes in cardiac cells. For most cardiology researchers it sits well outside mainstream tools, and its use is mainly within studies that explore the short-peptide gene-regulation hypothesis.

Is Cardiogen related to any approved heart medicine?

No. It is not derived from, or comparable to, any approved cardiovascular drug, and it has no regulatory approval of its own. The only evidence is preclinical. Listing it on the marketplace reflects demand from researchers, and each batch should be judged by its own independent lab report.

How much Cardiogen is in this listing?

10 vials of 20mg each — 200 mg in all. Where a lab report exists, the testing panel above shows what the brand's tested sample actually measured.

When does TFC Peptides get paid?

Only after you confirm delivery. Until then the payment is held in escrow, and you can open a claim if anything is wrong with the order.
