Thymosin Alpha 110 mg

What it is

Thymosin alpha 1 is a 28-amino-acid acetylated peptide derived from prothymosin alpha and first isolated from thymic tissue. It is known in clinical literature as thymalfasin and is studied as an immune modulator. Published research covers sepsis, chronic hepatitis B and severe viral respiratory illness.

How it works

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a synthetic 28-amino-acid version of a natural thymic peptide, studied for immune modulation.

Immune

A T-cell maturation signal

Thymosin Alpha-1 promotes the maturation and differentiation of T-cells in immunology research.

TLR

Acts on toll-like receptors

The peptide signals through toll-like receptors on immune cells, a pathway studied for modulating innate immunity.

Modulation

Balance over stimulation

Research frames thymosin alpha-1 as an immune modulator, studied for restoring balance rather than simply stimulating.

Key benefits

  • Lyophilized powder, reconstituted for repeatable preparation.
  • COA-verified identity and purity, batch by batch.
  • Research-use plans built around a compound-specific question.

What published research is studying

Human clinical data
  • 28-day all-cause mortality in adults with sepsis (phase 3 and earlier randomized trials)
  • Immune restoration markers such as monocyte HLA-DR and CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell counts in critical illness
  • Virological and biochemical response in chronic hepatitis B, compared with interferon alpha
  • Outcomes and T-cell exhaustion markers in severe COVID-19 (retrospective cohorts)

Human evidence is substantial but conflicting: a 1106-participant phase 3 trial found no mortality difference in sepsis, while smaller and earlier trials reported benefit.

Key research findings and references

Key research findings

In a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial across 22 centres in China, 1089 adults with sepsis were analysed. Mortality at 28 days was 23.4% with thymosin alpha 1 and 24.1% with placebo (hazard ratio 0.99, 95% CI 0.77 to 1.27).

Wu J et al., BMJ 2025 (TESTS)

In an earlier multicentre randomized trial of 361 adults with severe sepsis, 28-day mortality was 26.0% versus 35.0% in controls (relative risk 0.74, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.02). Monocyte HLA-DR improved more on days 3 and 7.

Wu J et al., Crit Care 2013 (ETASS)

A 2025 systematic review of 11 randomized trials in 1927 patients with sepsis found a pooled 28-day mortality odds ratio of 0.73 (95% CI 0.59 to 0.90). The high-quality and multicentre subgroups showed no significant difference.

Gu B et al., Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2025

In a meta-analysis of 4 randomized trials in 199 patients with chronic hepatitis B, complete response favoured thymosin alpha 1 over interferon alpha. That comparison, 6 months after therapy ended, gave an odds ratio of 2.69 (95% CI 1.47 to 4.91).

Published study duration

  • Phase 3 sepsis trial: subcutaneous injection every 12 hours for 7 days, with the primary outcome assessed at 28 days (NCT02867267).
  • ETASS sepsis trial: 28-day follow-up, with immune markers measured on days 0, 3 and 7 (NCT00711620).
  • Chronic hepatitis B trials in the meta-analysis: 6 months of treatment, with response reassessed 6 months after treatment ended (Yang 2008).

Research endpoints

  • 28-day all-cause mortality
  • Monocyte HLA-DR expression
  • Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score
  • CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell counts and T-cell exhaustion markers
  • Virological, biochemical and complete response rates in hepatitis B

Research handling

Full handling guide
  1. 01

    Lyophilized, sealed, batch-numbered

    Each vial ships as a freeze-dried powder under an inert seal, tied to the batch on its Certificate of Analysis.

  2. 02

    Store cold and dark

    Unopened vials are kept refrigerated at 2-8°C away from light. Reconstituted material is stored refrigerated and used within the window the research plan defines.

  3. 03

    Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water

    The included bacteriostatic water is added slowly down the vial wall and the vial is swirled, never shaken.

  4. 04

    Research use only

    Supplied for laboratory research. Not for human or veterinary use. Handle with the personal protective equipment the laboratory requires.
