Is Kartalax the same as cartalax?

Yes. Kartalax is the spelling used in the 2023 Russian-language review cited on this site's cartalax profile, for the same Ala-Glu-Asp peptide, also written AED. Its molecular weight is about 333 daltons. That one review sentence is the whole published basis for the claim that it was used for osteoarthritis in people. No first-hand study report was found. The names are two spellings of one chain, not a second drug and not a study in people that anyone has found. Full record at /compounds/cartalax.
