Overview
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu) developed through Vladimir Khavinson’s research program at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. As one of the simplest bioregulator compounds, it has been studied for effects on immune function, thymus-related immune regulation, and potential longevity-associated properties in animal models. FenaLife supplies Vilon in lyophilized form for research use only.
Research Background
Vilon is one of the shortest bioregulators in the Khavinson program — a simple dipeptide. Research from the Khavinson group has focused on its thymic and immune regulatory properties, with some studies reporting immune function restoration in aged animals and longevity effects in animal models. It has also been studied in the context of immune regulation following stress or immunosuppressive conditions.
Studied Mechanisms
Despite its small size, Vilon is proposed to act as a gene regulator in immune tissue through the same chromatin-interaction mechanism proposed for other Khavinson bioregulators. Research has documented effects on T-lymphocyte activity, thymic function, and cytokine profiles in aged rodent models.
