Vilon 20mg (10 Vials / Kit)

Vilon at a glance

Vilon is about as small as a peptide can be: two residues, lysine joined to glutamic acid, often abbreviated KE. It came from the bioregulator program of Vladimir Khavinson and colleagues, who sought short synthetic sequences reproducing activity attributed to thymic extracts. That lineage places it alongside Thymogen, another thymus-associated dipeptide. Some listings print a Lys-Gly sequence; the compound described in the literature is Lys-Glu, and the batch lab report is the place to confirm which one is supplied.

Price and availability

Sold by TFC Peptides and sent from Tianjin, China, this listing is a kit of 10 vials at 20mg each (200 mg in total). The price is $110.00, or $0.55 per milligram of peptide. Across 4 brands listing Vilon here, the middle half of prices falls between $0.495 and $0.55 per mg; this kit is inside that range. As with every order here, the brand is paid only after you confirm delivery.

What it is studied for

The proposed activity is unusual for a peptide. Rather than binding a defined membrane receptor, Vilon is described by its developers as entering cells and interacting directly with DNA or histone-associated regions, influencing which genes are accessible. Reported observations include increased expression of T-cell differentiation markers in thymocyte cultures and decondensation of heterochromatin in lymphocytes from elderly donors. Molecular docking work has been offered as support. These findings come almost entirely from one research network, and a clear mechanistic pathway has not been demonstrated by independent laboratories.

Research and regulatory status

Studies include rodent work on immune parameters and tumor incidence, lifespan experiments in mice and Drosophila, and cell-culture studies of gene expression. All are preclinical, and nearly all originate from the developing group and its collaborators. Vilon is not an approved medicine, and no controlled human trial has been published. Interest is strongest in aging research, but the evidence base is narrow enough that every reported effect should be considered preliminary.

Checking the lab data

A dipeptide is easy to confirm if the right method is used. Mass spectrometry should show a mass consistent with Lys-Glu, which differs clearly from Lys-Gly, so the report doubles as a check on mislabeled specifications. Because very small polar peptides elute early on standard HPLC, the method should be suited to them. Expect purity with a chromatogram, net content, appearance, salt form and a batch number.

Storage and preparation

Freeze-dried peptide keeps best sealed, cold and dark. Once it has been dissolved, refrigerate it, avoid repeated warming and follow the stability limits in your study protocol.

Concentration arithmetic: one 20 mg vial dissolved in 2 mL gives 10 mg/mL, or 20 mg/mL in 1 mL. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard handles any other volume.
