Vilon (Lys-Glu) is a short-chain dipeptide bioregulator originally isolated from thymic tissue, developed as part of the pioneering peptide bioregulator research conducted by the St Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Comprising the amino acid sequence lysine-glutamic acid, Vilon is classified as a cytogen — a class of short peptide bioregulators believed to interact with cell surface receptors and influence gene expression at a fundamental level.
In preclinical research settings, Vilon has been investigated for its potential immunomodulatory effects, with studies exploring its ability to modulate T-cell activity and restore immune function in aged or immunocompromised models. Research has also examined its role in reducing markers of cellular senescence, making it of significant interest in the fields of gerontology and longevity science.
Additional areas of investigation include its effects on haematopoiesis, neuroendocrine regulation, and oxidative stress pathways. Some research models have assessed its potential influence on apoptosis regulation and tissue homeostasis.
