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. Chonluten inhibits TNF production in monocytes and has been studied as a potential geroprotective agent that may support lung function in conditions like COPD.

Mechanism of Action

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. The peptide inhibits TNF production in monocytes exposed to pro-inflammatory LPS, promoting attenuation of inflammatory action through TNF tolerance mechanisms.
