Compound Overview

Prostamax is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator developed by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is designed to target prostate tissue and support normal prostate gland function. It belongs to the Khavinson peptide bioregulator class, which theorizes that short peptides can restore tissue-specific gene expression patterns that deteriorate with age.

Reported Mechanism (Preclinical)

Prostamax is proposed to interact with DNA in prostate epithelial cells, modulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tissue homeostasis. Research suggests it may normalize the balance between cell growth and programmed cell death in prostate tissue, support healthy androgen receptor signaling, and promote antioxidant defenses within the prostate gland.

Mechanisms described above are reported in preclinical (animal and in vitro) literature and have not been established for human use.

Key Research Highlights

  • Normalized prostate gland histological structure in aged rat models (Khavinson et al., 2009)
  • Modulated expression of proliferation markers (Ki-67) in prostate tissue cultures
  • Improved urodynamic parameters in aged animal models of benign prostatic changes
  • Demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in prostate tissue explants
  • Showed gene-regulatory activity when applied to prostate cell nuclear extracts in vitro
