Thymogen
Thymogen, a peptide. A glutamyl-tryptophan dipeptide studied in immune and angiogenesis research, distinct from the thymalin peptide mixture.
A glutamyl-tryptophan dipeptide studied in immune and angiogenesis research, distinct from the thymalin peptide mixture.
IDENTITY: Confirm linkage and salt in a product before treating different glutamyl-tryptophan preparations as identical. The cited clinical study evaluates intranasal IM862, not the thymalin mixture. PK: PMID:17845857 identifies IM862 as L-Glu-L-Trp-OH and describes poor membrane permeability; it studied amide and lipid conjugates in vitro, not human plasma kinetics. ROUTE: PMID:11707921 identifies Thymogen as L-Glu-L-Trp and describes SC injection in rats; do not infer a human SC dose.
