Ovagen is a tripeptide bioregulator that should not be confused with the similarly named Ovagen that contains ovine (sheep) follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The two products are not the same and have entirely different functions. While the FSH derivative promotes ovulation, particularly in women suffering from conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the tripeptide is a liver function regulator. Throughout this article, Ovagen will refer to the tripeptide bioregulator. Ovagen is a Khavinson peptide, developed along with a number of other peptides, by Dr. Vladimir Khavinson. Like other bioregulators, Ovagen is able to cross cell and nuclear membranes to directly regulate DNA structure and transcription patterns. Also, like most other bioregulatory peptides, Ovagen has tissue-specific effects. The Glu-Asp-Leu peptide primarily serves to regulate and normalize liver and digestive tract function, though there is some evidence to suggest it may also be useful in controlling the reproduction of the HIV virus. This latter finding has made Ovagen of interest to HIV researchers looking to understand the virus lifecycle.

According to research from Dr. Khavinson, Ovagen is a bioregulator of the GI tract and liver. In the liver, it has been found to promote cell proliferation and prevent scarring and fibrotic changes that can lead to cirrhosis. In the GI tract, Ovagen helps to boost mucosal barrier function and reduces complications from antibiotic treatment, environmental insults, chemotherapy, malnutrition, and more. Like most bioregulators, the most robust effects of Ovagen are seen in older individuals. The peptide appears to roll back DNA changes that occur with age, helping to reset the DNA in liver fibroblasts and GI mucosal cells to a more youthful state. In this more youthful state, the DNA is less condensed and therefore more genes are available for transcription. This results in a more functional cell that is less senescent and therefore “healthier.” Research shows that Ovagen is well tolerate and may be useful in normalizing the function of the liver and GI tract in a number of different inflammatory and disease conditions. It may also be useful in the postoperative setting, during long-term antibiotic therapy, for overcoming the side effects of cancer treatments, and even as a diabetes preventative. Research on the GI and liver effects of Ovagen is ongoing.

Ovagen und HIV

The HIV-1 protease is an enzyme necessary for the HIV virus to survive. It functions to cleave newly synthesized proteins that make up the mature HIV virion. This infectious form of the HIV virus will not function without the HIV-1 protease. In other words, the enzyme is essential for the HIV virus to be able to infect more cells. Without the protease, the HIV virus produces non-infectious progeny and dies out. A number of HIV protease inhibitors are currently FDA approved and used in treatment. Unfortunately, the virus’s high mutation rate results in relatively rapid formation of resistance. Research on Ovagen reveals that it is an effective HIV-1 protease inhibitor. In fact, it is one of the smallest and most potent protease inhibitors known with an effective concentration of just 50 microM. Unlike other protease inhibitors, Ovagen is highly soluble in water[1]. This latter fact makes it easier to administer.

Ovagen Zusammenfassung

Ovagen ist ein Tripeptid -Bioregulator mit primären Effekten im Leber- und GI -Trakt. Obwohl die Untersuchung dieses Khavinson-Peptids zu diesem Zeitpunkt begrenzt ist, hat es sich als potenzielles Anti-Aging-Peptid in der Leber- und GI-Trakte versprochen. Ovagen reduziert die Langzeitfibrose in der Leber und hilft, die GI-Schleimhautschicht vor den Wirkungen von Antibiotika, Umwelttoxinen und sogar Chemotherapie zu schützen. Es besteht auch Interesse an der Fähigkeit von Ovagen, die Replikation von HIV zu hemmen.

He is engaged in studying of the role of peptides in regulation of the mechanisms of ageing. His main field of actions is design, pre-clinical and clinical studies of new peptide Geroprotektoren. A 40-year-long investigation resulted in a multitude of methods of application of peptide bioregulators to slow down the process of ageing and increase human life span. Six peptide-based pharmaceuticals and 64 peptide food supplements have been introduced into clinical practice by V. Khavinson. He is an author of 196 patents (Russian and international) as well as of 775 scientific publications. His major achievements are presented in two books: “Peptides and Ageing” (NEL, 2002) and “Gerontological aspects of genome peptide regulation” (Karger AG, 2005). Vladimir Khavinson introduced scientific specialty “Gerontology and Geriatrics” in the Russian Federation on the governmental level. Academic Council headed by V. Khavinson has oversighted over 200 Ph.D. and Doctorate theses from many different countries.
