| Combination / components | Proposed research use | Basis & limitations | Source trail |
|---|---|---|---|
| RecoveryThymalin + Dalargin: historical clinical leadThymalin thymus extract + Dalargin opioid peptide; concurrent administration unresolved | Immune measurements in duodenal-ulcer patients and a separate repair/immune mechanism hypothesis. | 1998 human report: 120 ulcer patients and 30 healthy-reference donors; 1995 comparative rat study. Reported results: T-cell indices reportedly moved toward reference values, while one subset index was unchanged. No numerical clinical healing effect or verified combined-treatment arm was supplied. The 1995 experiment compared preparations, and the 1998 abstract does not resolve simultaneous use. Separate wound/cell studies are not combination replications. No formal synergy or validated human protocol. | The lymphocyte subpopulation in patients with duodenal ulcer and the immunocorrective activity of thymalin and dalargin ↗The effect of thymalin, dalargin and "Mucosalin" on the course of an experimental duodenal ulcer ↗Detailed combination evidence ↗ |
| RecoveryThymogen + Dalargin: a separate experimental pairThymogen defined dipeptide + Dalargin; distinct from Thymalin extract | Neutrophil function in a rat fracture experiment. | 2021 original fracture paper; eight rats per assay group, day 10, local intraosseous exposure. Reported results: Phagocytic index 54.6±5.1% versus 30.8±3.1% in fracture controls; activation index 1.8±0.1 versus 0.4±0.03. Table marks p<0.05 versus fracture controls; no formal interaction test. Thymogen is not Thymalin. Table symbols compare with fracture and uninjured controls, not pair versus each peptide alone. Surrogate assays do not establish human bone healing or clinical synergy. | GHK, Dalargin and Thymogen in experimental bone fracture: 2021 rat study ↗Detailed combination evidence ↗ |
| Physical workloadBrain peptide fractions A + B2–5 kDa limbic fraction + 0.5–0.9 kDa midbrain fraction | Applicant-reported cycle and swim tests. | Two overlapping Russian patent disclosures with six athletes per arm per sport. Reported results: Day 21 cycling duration 8.4±0.2 vs 4.6±0.5 min (A + B vs saline). The earlier filing largely repeats the B and saline series. No verified randomization or formal synergy test. Distinct from PPK-V; doses and preparations differ. | RU2503459C2: paired brain peptide fractions in cycling and swimming — RU2503459C2 ↗RU2496504C1: midbrain peptide fraction in cycling and swimming — RU2496504C1 ↗Detailed combination evidence ↗ |
| Environmental stressSemax + TRH + FMRFamideSemax + thyrotropin-releasing hormone + FMRFamide | Animal hypoxia and acute hemorrhage models. | Krushinskaya dissertation and related journal record. Reported results: Rat hemorrhage mortality 23% with pretreatment versus 79% in control (p<0.025 reported). Preclinical pretreatment. Separate hemorrhage and hypoxia dosing; no evidence of human rescue efficacy. | Semax, TRH and FMRFamide in rat hemorrhage and hypobaric hypoxia ↗Cooperative regulatory peptide effects in rat hypoxic shock ↗Detailed combination evidence ↗ |
| RecoveryLadasten + FabomotizoleBromantane (Ladasten) + fabomotizole | Motor behavior in a paraquat-induced parkinsonian mouse model. | 2025 primary animal report. Animal findings only. No single-component arms in the abstract; neither synergy nor human Parkinson disease benefit is established. | Ladasten plus fabomotizole in a paraquat-induced parkinsonian mouse model ↗ |
| RecoveryBemitil + PyrazidolBemitil + Pyrazidol (pirlindole) | Post-traumatic asthenic symptoms in a clinical report, and separate rat brain-injury experiments. | 2005 clinical report and 2004 animal study. Clinical sample size and allocation require full text. Animal additive effects cannot establish human synergy or attribute the clinical result to Bemitil alone. | [Efficacy of bemithyl and pyrazidol in patients with cerebroasthenia due to brain injury]. ↗Cerebroprotective effect of combined treatment with pyrazidol and bemitil in craniocerebral trauma. ↗ |
| RecoveryMetaprot + PolyoxidoniumBemitil (Metaprot) + Polyoxidonium | Experimental bronchopulmonary inflammation and antioxidant endpoints. | 2014 macrophage assays and 2015 rat inflammation experiments. Experimental evidence only. Concentration-dependent biochemical effects do not establish clinical respiratory benefit or a safe human combination. | Metaprot, Trekrezan and Polyoxidonium in rat macrophage assays ↗Antioxidant Effect of Polyoxidonium and Metaprot during Bronchopulmonary Inflammation in Rats. ↗ |
| Physical workloadLadasten + SydnocarbBromantane (Ladasten) + Sydnocarb (mesocarb) | Animal experiments examining swimming performance and heat exposure. | Separate 2006 animal studies; findings depend on the experimental setting. In the swimming comparison, individual drugs performed better and longer than the combination. A separate heat experiment reported a favorable combination effect. Neither establishes universal synergy, a safe human ratio or heat protection in people. | [Comparative study of the effect of Ladasten, Sydnocarb and their combination on physical work ability of laboratory animals]. ↗[Thermoprotector properties of a combination of sydnocarb with ladasten]. ↗ |
| Environmental stressDSIP + PiracetamDSIP + Piracetam | Experimental stress adaptation during restricted movement and hyperbaric oxygen exposure in rats. | Rostov research papers, 1995 and 1999; neurotransmitter and membrane endpoints. Animal evidence only. Hyperoxia is not hypoxia; formal synergy and human benefit are not established.

Bromantane and Bemitil: evidence comparison
| Compound / formulation | Context | Source type | Interpretation limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ladasten + Sydnocarb | Animal swimming performance and heat exposure | Separate experimental reports, 2006Source record ↗ | Single drugs outperformed the combination in swimming; a separate heat study was favorable. Effects are model-specific, not evidence of universal synergy. |
| Bromantane / Ladasten | Patient asthenia versus rested or fatigued volunteers | Randomized patient trial, uncontrolled multicenter report and small laboratory comparisonsSource record ↗ | Clinical symptoms and performance measures answer different questions. Duplicate multicenter reports are grouped. |
| Bemitil / Metaprot | Asthenia, neuromuscular and occupational research | Human reports, patent-reported hearing comparison, animal and metabolism studiesSource record ↗ | Full methods and independent replication remain uneven. Biomarker changes are not proven clinical recovery. |
| Bemitil + Bromantane | Combined heat/gas exposure | 1993 volunteer comparison plus 1996 guidanceSource record ↗ | The abstract has a monoxide/dioxide translation inconsistency. Historical findings are not exposure-safety guidance. |
| Metaprot + Ladasten | Short-term high-altitude adaptation | 2014 volunteer comparison with hypoxen and placeboSource record ↗ | No isolated-component arms described; neither synergy nor altitude-illness prevention established. |
| Bromitil | Combined-tablet pharmacokinetics | 2009 dissertation abstract; animal experimentsSource record ↗ | Formulation identity is documented there. Current product equivalence, human benefit and safe ratios are not established. |
The bioregulator research matrix.
These rows map research relationships, not combinations to take. Molecular identification, parent-extract trials and synthetic-peptide experiments answer different questions.
| Tissue / records | Parent preparation → peptide | Molecular link | Human research & unresolved gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cartilage & bonePCC ↗ · Cartalax ↗ | Cartilage polypeptide complex (PCC) Cartalax / AED | The 2020 UHPLC–MS paper reports AED in cartilage complex. The 2023 review describes PCC as a mixture spanning 75–846 Da.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | Cartalax: a published 2015 human dental-surgery study reports better jaw-bone healing; a later research lecture gives 53 patients (28/25). A separate 29-patient knee comparison appears in patent RU2299741C1. PCC Phase II is review-reported and concerns a different preparation.Recover the PCC trial identifier, exact formulation, protocol and results. The patent reports symptom changes without significant radiographic change; neither source establishes cartilage regeneration. |
| BrainCortexin ↗ · Pinealon ↗ · Cortagen ↗ | Cortexin / brain polypeptide preparations Pinealon / EDR; separate Cortagen research | The 2020 analytical paper detects EDR in brain complex. The broader neuropeptide literature discusses Cortexin and short peptides; molecular detection alone does not equate preparations.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | Cortexin has condition-specific clinical reports and ESCORT. Its stroke evidence needs the independent Cochrane assessment alongside positive original reports.The clinical findings concern Cortexin. Pinealon and Cortagen have their own evidence. Cortagen’s direct parent-product characterization and additional primary studies remain recovery targets. |
| Pineal glandEpithalamin ↗ · Epitalon ↗ · Pineamin ↗ | Epithalamin Epitalon / AEDG | The 2017 analytical study detected AEDG in pineal polypeptide complex, after its earlier design from amino-acid composition.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | Epithalamin aging cohorts and Pineamin menopause/reproductive studies concern distinct extracts. Pineamin now has separately indexed sleep, semen and ovarian-reserve reports.Extract findings do not establish equivalent benefits for synthetic AEDG. Check cohort overlap, methods and independent replication before interpreting longevity claims. |
| ThymusThymalin ↗ · Thymogen ↗ · Vilon ↗ | Thymalin Thymogen / EW; Vilon / KE | The 2021 composition paper identifies KE and EDP in Thymalin and cites prior detection of EW. It distinguishes peptide design from subsequent molecular detection.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | The 2013 review covers Thymalin, Thymogen and Vilon, but its original trials require separate appraisal. The 266-person aging report concerns the extracts Thymalin and Epithalamin.Avoid assigning extract outcomes to individual peptides. Vilon cell-culture findings are mechanistic, not evidence of human rejuvenation. |
| Blood vesselsVasolin / Slavinorm ↗ · Vesugen ↗ · KED ↗ | Vasolin / Slavinorm Vesugen / KED | KED was detected in vessel complex in the 2020 composition paper. Vesugen is the KED short-peptide entry; the separate KED route preserves sequence-based research navigation.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | Original vessel-complex records now include 108-person arterial and 190-person venous randomized trials plus separate comparisons. These do not isolate Vesugen or purified KED.Retrieve complete randomized papers and confirm the preparation in unnamed abstracts. Same sequence does not establish equivalence of complex preparations or clinical effects for purified KED. |
| LiverVentvil ↗ · Livagen ↗ | Ventvil Livagen / KEDA | The 2020 Russian review discusses the liver complex and defined tetrapeptide together as separate experimental interventions.Source record ↗ | The recovered review describes animal and cell models of fibrosis/hepatitis, not a human treatment trial.Original model-specific papers and molecular characterization remain necessary. A shared research program is not proof of identical composition or effects. |
| HeartCardiogen ↗ | Heart polypeptide complex (review-described) Cardiogen / AEDR | The cardiovascular review reports detection of AEDR in heart complex. Its original analytical source has not been independently recovered here.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | The highlighted myocardial-infarction result is preclinical and traces to US7662789B2, cited by the review.Preserve the patent provenance. No human Cardiogen cardiovascular benefit is established by these records. |
| ProstateProstatilen ↗ · Prostamax ↗ · Prostateks ↗ | Prostatilen Prostamax (adjacent short-peptide program) | Tissue-level research association only in this collection; direct molecular derivation of Prostamax from the clinical Prostatilen formulation has not been established.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | Historical Prostatilen reports, a 127-patient Prostateks postoperative comparison and a separate 94-patient Prostateks prostatitis comparison are linked with distinct preparation identities.The cited cohorts received Prostatilen. The uncontrolled results leave the treatment effect uncertain. |
| RetinaRetinalamin ↗ · Normophthal ↗ | Retinalamin Normophthal (adjacent short-peptide program) | Shared tissue theme, not a verified product-to-sequence derivation in this collection.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | Randomized glaucoma reports, a 2025 prospective cohort and an active-route comparison are indexed. Visual acuity and several between-group outcomes were unchanged.Assess blinding, baseline imbalance, correlated eyes and study overlap. The negative rabbit photochemical-injury experiment is included alongside favorable reports. |
| Bronchial mucosaChonluten ↗ · Bronchogen ↗ | Bronchial-mucosa polypeptide complex Chonluten / EDG; Bronchogen / AEDL | The 2020 UHPLC–MS report identifies EDG and AEDL in bronchial-mucosa complex.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | A Chonluten institute product report is now linked in the evidence map; its formulation is not independently characterized. The original 2014 Bronchogen report includes 58 adjunctive oral-capsule patients and 20 standard-care controls, with clinical lung-volume measurements.Recover sequence-specific original experiments and clinical protocols; effects on respiratory disease and hazardous-exposure protection remain uncertain. |
| PancreasPancragen ↗ | Pancreatic polypeptide complex Pancragen / KEDW | The 2020 composition paper reports KEDW in pancreatic complex.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | The evidence map now links a 2011 Pancragen human report, alongside separate primate and cell studies. Thirty healthy comparison subjects are not automatically randomized treatment controls.Full clinical methods, treatment allocation and preparation details still need appraisal before interpreting metabolic outcomes. |
| Testicular research targetTestagen ↗ | Parent preparation not established here Testagen | The 2013 short-peptide catalogue is the traceable source retained for this entry.Source record ↗ | No additional compound-specific primary clinical report was recovered in the Cartalax update.The research target is not a demonstrated treatment indication. Original identity, composition and clinical sources remain explicit gaps. |
| KidneyNephropept ↗ · Pielotax ↗ | Nephropept / separately formulated Pielotax AED, EDL and AEDG are related experimental sequences | A common tissue target does not establish identical extracts or prove that these sequences were isolated from Nephropept.Source record ↗Source record ↗ | Pielotax has a historical institute report. The Nephropept Phase II registry reproduction lists a planned 210-person CKD study without numerical outcomes.Recover the original protocol, actual enrollment, clinical-study report and preparation characterization. |
Work and rest were separate questions.
Shustov’s abstract places piracetam in a work-period context and phenibut or Pantogam in a rest-period context. Picamilon is listed without explicit timing. Those historical distinctions do not establish a safe schedule, replace sleep, or determine fitness for duty.
