Chonluten (EDG): Research Overview
Khavinson bioregulator tripeptide studied in respiratory tissue research.
Also known as EDG · Glu-Asp-Gly
What is Chonluten?
Chonluten is a Khavinson bioregulator tripeptide (EDG) derived from respiratory lung tissue. Developed at Russia's St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, it targets the bronchopulmonary system with secondary activity in the GI tract. Research shows it regulates genes related to inflammation, antioxidant activity, and proliferation responses.
What is Chonluten researched for?
- Normalizes respiratory system function through gene expression regulation.
- Restores and maintains lung alveolar tissues and bronchial mucous membranes.
- May modulate mucosal function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Inhibits TNF production in monocytes, reducing inflammatory responses.
- Supports SOD and antioxidant gene expression.
- Researched as potential agent that may slow cell aging.
- Modulates c-Fos and proliferative gene activity.
How does Chonluten work?
Chonluten works through epigenetic regulation, penetrating cell and nuclear membranes to bind promoter or suppressor regions of DNA and modulate transcriptional control. It regulates genes including c-Fos, HSP70 (heat-shock protein), SOD (superoxide dismutase), COX-2, and TNF-alpha related to oxidative stress and proliferative regulation.

Common questions
What makes Chonluten different from other immune-supporting peptides?
Chonluten is specifically derived from bronchial lung tissue and targets the respiratory system primarily, unlike broad immune peptides. It regulates genes like c-Fos, HSP70, SOD, and TNF-alpha to reduce inflammatory responses and support lung tissue health, making it unique for respiratory-specific immune modulation.
