Chonluten
Summary
Larazotide acetate is an 8-amino acid peptide (Gly-Gly-Val-Leu-Val-Gln-Pro-Gly) derived from Zonula Occludens Toxin (ZOT) of Vibrio cholerae. It paradoxically acts as a ZOT antagonist to close tight junctions and reduce intestinal permeability ('leaky gut'). It is the most advanced clinical compound targeting gut permeability directly.
Chonluten is a tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific to the bronchi and lungs. While related to Bronchogen (a tetrapeptide), Chonluten is a shorter tripeptide sequence. It supports bronchial mucosal cell function, promotes respiratory epithelial regeneration, and is used in protocols for COPD, chronic bronchitis, and pulmonary anti-aging.

  • Potential application in IBS, IBD, autoimmune conditions
  • Supports bronchial mucosal regeneration and repair
  • May improve mucociliary clearance in chronic respiratory conditions
  • Anti-inflammatory effects on bronchial epithelium
  • Pulmonary anti-aging and tissue preservation
  • Supports lung function in COPD and chronic bronchitis
  • Well tolerated in combination with other Khavinson bioregulators
  • Short tripeptide with efficient cellular penetration
Side Effects
  • Headache (mild, dose-dependent)
  • Nausea (rare)
  • Well-tolerated overall in clinical trials
  • Generally well tolerated
