Vilon Peptide

Vilon is a dipeptide composed of amino acids lysine and glutamic acid. It also goes by the name 'lysglutamic acid.'(1) It is the shortest peptide suggested to possess potential action in the immune system, possibly mitigate cancer cell proliferation, and potentially induce anti-aging action, working on crucial organs such as the liver, heart, and kidney. Vilon appears to exert its potential by possible interaction with the chromatin structure.

Vilon peptide research has also led to the postulating of several research hypotheses, including that the peptide may act to unroll chromatin structures, that it may activate ribosomal genes stimulating the synthetic process, that it may release inactive genes, and that it may not decondense the chromatin situated on each side of the centromere of chromosome. Through its potential action on the chromatin, Vilon may possibly alter DNA structure to reactivate the genes and cells that have gone 'silent.'

Overview

Considered a bioregulator peptide, Vilon may have the potential to improve the immune system, especially in immunocompromised subjects.

Researchers suggest Vilon may activate the interleukin-2 protein in spleen cells, which is critical in maintaining immunity.(3) It may stimulate the body to fight against microbial infection and foreign bodies and prevents harmful autoimmune responses. Vilon has been suggested to activate white blood cells and spleen cells and potentially naturally boost the body to protect against autoimmune ailments.

A study was conducted in 2002 with three bioregulatory peptides to study their potential on interleukin-2 mRNA synthesis in spleen cells. According to this study, “The intensity of interleukin-2 mRNA synthesis in splenocytes depended on the type, concentration, and duration of treatment with the peptides. Vilon and Epithalon were most potent, while Cortagen produced a less pronounced effect on interleukin-2 mRNA synthesis.”(3)

Furthermore, Vilon peptides may possibly mitigate autoimmune action by interacting with the thymus gland. The thymus gland is considered responsible for the proliferation of T-helper cells, and with the help of the Vilon peptide, this proliferation may be further enhanced. As per N N Sevostianiva et al., the Vilon peptide is “considered as a bioactive substance possessing immunomodulator and antiallergic activity.” (4)

 

Vilon Research and Clinical Studies

Extended research has produced a wide variety of hypotheses speculating on the action of the Vilon peptide, some detailed below:

Vilon Peptide and Cellular Lifespan

Vilon may potentially extend the average lifespan of animal research models through an extension and mitigation of cell death. As stated above, Vilon has been suggested to exhibit potential in enhancing the immune system, improving physical endurance and energy levels, thereby possibly increasing average lifespan of animal test models.(5) Vilon is advised to study earlier in the test model lifespan rather than later for clearest possible action. Researchers hypothesize when a bioregulator like Vilon is presented in the later stages of life, it may only potentially reverse 'silent' cells, exerting no potential action on cells killed via apoptosis.

Vilon Peptide and Carcinogenic Cells

Several studies suggest that peptide exhibits potential to prevent some spread of carcinogenic cells by possibly preventing the formation of new tumors but also potentially inhibiting existing tumors' growth.(6)

One study contradicts this potential property of Vilon. As per this study, when used with chemotherapeutic agents derived from platinum ions, this peptide–platinum combination may be more harmful than helpful(7) Unfortunately, since this study only considers one specific type of chemotherapeutic action, study results reported by researchers may be inconclusive.

GI Tract Function

Vilon peptide may act on gastrointestinal functionality via possibly enhancing working mechanisms of certain enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract. By doing so, the peptide exhibits potential body resistance towards GI-specific ailments, reduces leaky bowels in test subjects.(8) Acting on the small intestinal muscles, Vilon peptide may ameliorate glucose accumulation and glycine absorption.(9)

Vilon Peptide and Gene Expression

Upon presenting the Vilon peptide, reserachers have suggested it exhibits potential in test subjects to alter the gene expression of 36 genes in the heart. When presented with Epithalon, this number reported was 144 genes. This suggests the peptide's possible action on genetic expression in the cardiac system, possibly impacting hemodynamic properties.(10)

Vilon Peptide and Fibrinolysis

Researchers suggested in one study that Vilon exhibits potential to stimulate fibrinolysis and increase the concentration of natural anticoagulants in the body, namely antithrombin III and protein C. It was also suggested to reduce insulin levels and possibly regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates.(11) Vilon is suggested to increase the permeability of mesenteric microvessels in the vascular system. As per N. Gavrisheva et al., these results indicate that “the preparation produces a potent homeostatic effect in the early period of chronic renal failure.”(12)
