Mechanism of action

Cartalax is described as the short peptide AED (Ala-Glu-Asp), one of the bioregulator peptides studied by Khavinson and colleagues for effects on gene expression in ageing cells.

Observed research endpoints

In ageing human mesenchymal stem cell cultures, AED, KED and KE at nanomolar concentrations modulated expression of ageing-related genes, including NFκB.
A peptide mixture including AED promoted markers of neuronal differentiation in human periodontal ligament stem cells.

Regulatory & safety context

Not approved by the FDA or EMA for any indication; research-grade material is not a medicine.
Evidence is from cell culture studies, mostly from one research group; no controlled human trials are cited.
