Overview
Vilon is a dipeptide consisting of just lysine and glutamic acid, developed at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation. Like thymogen (Glu-Trp), it challenges the assumption that peptides need to be longer to have biological activity. In Khavinson's published work, vilon demonstrated immunomodulatory effects including T-cell activation and normalisation of cytokine profiles. It has been used in Russian clinical practice for immunodeficiency states. The challenge for Western acceptance is replicating these findings in controlled trials.
How it works
Khavinson proposes that Lys-Glu interacts directly with DNA in lymphoid cells, modulating gene expression related to immune function. Specific effects reported include activation of T-cell proliferation, normalisation of interleukin profiles, and enhancement of natural killer cell activity. The DNA-interaction mechanism for such a short peptide remains debated.
