Clinical Pharmacology

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Immunomodulatory agent.

ATH code: [LO3A]

Pharmacological properties:

Active ingredient of pills Licopid® - Glucosaminylmuramyl dipeptide (GMDP) - is a synthetic analogue of the structural fragment of the envelope (peptidoglycan) of bacterial cells. GMDP is an activator of innate and acquired immunity, enhances the body's defense against viral, bacterial and fungal infections; has an adjuvant effect in the development of immunological reactions.

The biological activity of the drug is realized through the binding of GMDP to the intracellular receptor protein NOD2, localized in the cytoplasm of phagocytes (neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells). The drug stimulates the functional (bactericidal, cytotoxic) activity of phagocytes, enhances their presentation of antigens, the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, increases the synthesis of specific antibodies, and contributes to the normalization of the balance of Th1 / Th2 lymphocytes towards the predominance of Th1. Pharmacological action is carried out by enhancing the production of key interleukins (interleukin-1, interleukin-6, interleukin-12), tumor necrosis factor alpha, gamma interferon, colony-stimulating factors. The drug increases the activity of natural killer cells.

Licopid® has a low toxicity (LD50 is more than 49,000 times the therapeutic dose). In the experiment with the oral route of administration in doses 100 times higher than the therapeutic, the drug has no toxic effect on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems and does not cause pathological changes on the part of the internal organs. Likopid® does not have embryotoxic and teratogenic effects, does not cause chromosomal, gene mutations. In experimental studies conducted on animals, data were obtained on the antitumor activity of Licopid® (GMDP).
