What Vilon is
About Vilon
Synthetic dipeptide Lys-Glu; modulates T-cell and NK cell activity; reduces age-related immune decline; normalizes cytokine production via epigenetic gene regulation
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide (Lys-Glu, KE) classified as a Khavinson-class bioregulator originally derived from thymic tissue, proposed to modulate immune function in aging subjects by providing minimal thymic regulatory dipeptide signals that support T-lymphocyte activation and immune homeostasis diminished by age-related thymic involution. As the minimal active dipeptide unit of the Khavinson thymic bioregulator class, vilon is proposed to act through amino acid transporter uptake and modulation of intracellular signaling — including sphingomyelin pathway signal transduction in thymocytes — to restore T-cell activation thresholds and proliferative responses in immune cells from elderly subjects. Research has characterized natural and synthetic thymic peptides including vilon as therapeutic candidates for immune dysfunction, and experimental work has demonstrated that short Khavinson-class peptides modulate thymocyte blast transformation and sphingomyelin pathway signaling in immune cell preparations. Vilon has no FDA approval; evidence derives from Khavinson-series Russian preclinical and observational studies, and it has no regulatory approval in any major Western jurisdiction.

Comparative study of the effects of vilon, epithalon, and cortagen on thymocyte proliferation and sphingomyelinase activity
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine · 2002
Research in mouse thymocyte cultures found that vilon produced the most potent comitogenic stimulation of thymocyte proliferation and sphingomyelinase activity compared with epithalon and cortagen, providing mechanistic evidence for its thymopoiesis-promoting activity and relevance to immune restoration in aging.

PeptideBase reports these lab-published figures and does not itself test, endorse, or certify any product. Confirmed by lab results were matched against the issuing laboratory's own records — either the lab served the document, or its own hosted copy matches ours byte for byte. For every other result the badge states what is known about the lab: that it can be checked and no result is recorded yet, that it can't be checked, or that we have not reviewed it.
