Prostamax

Prostamax, aka KEDP, is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro) classified among the Khavinson peptides, which researchers have suggested may exhibit primary repair potential on various tissues, notably in prostate cell cultures. It appears to influence the structural dynamics of chromatin, potentially activating previously repressed genes and altering chromosomal dynamics.

This may include increasing in the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges and Ag-positive nucleolus organizer regions, indicating enhanced chromosomal exchange activities and changes in ribosomal RNA gene activity as well as reducing the frequency of large segments of C-pericentromeric heterochromatin, suggesting a decondensation action on the chromatin. In prostatic gland tissue cultures, Pros-tamax may have a role in stimulating reparation processes, reducing inflammation and preventing sclerotic and atrophic processes.
