Khavinson VKh, Kuznik BI, Ryzhak GA · 2013 · Adv Gerontol 26(1):20-37. PMID 24003726
What does this source report?
Summarizes clinical work on seven named peptide preparations. Useful for tracing original Russian reports and distinguishing tissue extracts from short peptides.
- Population and setting
- Originating group’s clinical and gerontology literature
- Evidence type
- Review
- Preparation
- See the original report; formulation details require verification.
- Source language
- Russian
- Title provenance
- Title as recorded in the linked source or index. A separate original-language title has not been transcribed unless shown above.
What are the limitations?
- Review by investigators in the originating program; not independent replication.
- Clinical findings must be traced to the exact preparation and original study.
Publication counts are not counts of independent trials. Reviews, translations and reports sharing participants may overlap. Findings apply to the studied preparation, population and endpoints.

Bibliography entryRelated compound profiles
Thymalin
A 1983 thermal-injury paper investigated Thymalin as an adjunct to comprehensive burn care. Its findings concern that clinical setting and do not establish a general recovery benefit.
Thymogen
EW is discussed in the thymus-derived research program. Thymalin extract outcomes cannot be assigned to this defined peptide.
Vilon
A peptide research entry in the Khavinson evidence map. Direct studies, related extract findings, institute reports and unresolved claims are distinguished below.
Epithalamin
A pineal-gland tissue extract containing a mixture of peptides. Human aging and melatonin studies of this preparation must be distinguished from research on synthetic Epitalon (AEDG).
Prostatilen
A prostate-tissue-derived polypeptide preparation with historical urological clinical reports. It is distinct from the synthetic short peptide Prostamax.
Cortexin
A tissue-derived preparation with Russian stroke, cognitive, pediatric and other clinical reports. Study designs vary; the independent stroke review is shown alongside favorable original reports. None validates the personal WHOOP diary.
Retinalamin
A retinal tissue-derived peptide preparation studied in ophthalmology. It is distinct from the short-peptide catalogue entry Normophthal.
