Key takeaways
Vilon is the Lys-Glu dipeptide in the same St. Petersburg bioregulator shop as thymogen. A defined thymic-series fragment. Separate from extract products.
Mapped themes include trauma / lipid-peroxidation series, comparative surgical immunity papers with thymalin and epithalamin, PBMC TNFα work, and cartilage explant culture.
Trauma and appendicitis material is largely same-school Russian case series; an unrelated multi-layer network method named ViLoN was dropped from the PubMed retrieval.
What it is
Vilon is the Lys-Glu dipeptide in the same St. Petersburg bioregulator shop as thymogen. another defined thymic-series fragment, sold in Russia as a dietary supplement framed around senescence biology.
Unlike thymalin (an extract), vilon is a single sequence; unlike thymogen (Glu-Trp), the amino acids differ and the mapped effects are not identical.
We feature it because trauma and immunity series give a readable paper trail on the St. Petersburg shelf.
What the literature describes
Themed chapters drawn only from papers already mapped on this dossier. Archive map. No medical advice.
Trauma and lipid-peroxidation / cytokine series
In patients with open long-bone fractures, combination-therapy papers describe vilon stabilising lipid-peroxidation / antioxidant readouts and normalising selected cytokines.
Trauma and appendicitis material is largely same-school Russian case series; cellular immunology papers sit nearby. Conceptual “regulatory peptides and homeostasis” reviews from the Khavinson circle frame the programme.
That St. Petersburg shelf is where the densest mapped trail lives.

Is vilon an active principle inside thymalin, or a parallel tool?
How should TNFα upregulation be read for an “immunomodulator” label in the literature?
