Prostamax is a Khavinson bioregulator tetrapeptide (KEDP) with primary repair effects on prostate tissue. Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, it alters chromatin structure in cells from elderly individuals, promoting deheterochromatinization and potentially reactivating genes repressed during aging. Research in rat models shows reduced prostate inflammation, decreased swelling, and decelerated pathological remodeling associated with prostatitis.

Mechanism of Action

Prostamax works through epigenetic regulation by altering chromatin structure. It increases the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges and Ag-positive nucleolar organizer regions (NORs), while reducing large segments of pericentromeric heterochromatin. These changes promote chromatin decondensation and deheterochromatinization, potentially reactivating genes repressed during aging. The peptide influences heterochromatin arrangements in human lymphocytes and normalizes age-related changes in cellular function.
