Bronchogen
Also known as: Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu, Khavinson lung peptide, Bronchial bioregulator
Bronchogen is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is a tissue-specific bioregulator designed for the bronchi and lungs, promoting normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function. Research suggests benefits for respiratory health, protection against pulmonary aging, and support for bronchopulmonary conditions.
Half-Life
Short (minutes to hours); bioregulator effects are gene-mediated and longer lasting

Key Benefits
- Tissue-specific support for bronchial and lung health
- Promotes normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function
- Potential benefits in chronic bronchitis and COPD support
- Anti-aging effects on pulmonary tissue
- May reduce frequency of respiratory infections
- Supports lung function preservation with aging
- Compatible with other Khavinson bioregulator peptides
Mechanism of Action
As a short peptide bioregulator, Bronchogen penetrates cell nuclei and interacts with gene promoter sequences in bronchial epithelial cells, acting as a gene expression modulator. It normalizes protein synthesis in bronchial tissue, promotes cellular regeneration, and reduces degenerative changes associated with aging or chronic lung disease. The tetrapeptide sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu is homologous to bronchial tissue proteins, conferring tissue specificity.
