Pharmacological properties
Proteflazid is an antiviral herbal medicine. The flavonoids in its composition inhibit the replication of DNA / RNA viruses both in vitro (in vitro) and in vivo (in a living organism). Studies have shown the antiviral effect of the drug against hepatitis viruses, HIV infection, herpes, human papillomaviruses, influenza, and other OPB (acute respiratory infections). The mechanism of its antiviral action (direct) consists in inhibition of virus-specific enzymes – DNA / RNA polymerases, reverse transcriptase, thymidine kinase, neuraminidase. The medicine has immunotropic properties. It protects the mucous membranes, normalizes the indices of local immunity (the amount of secretory immunoglobulin A, lactoferrin, lysozyme, C3 component of the complement). The drug is an inducer of the production of endogenous alpha-, gamma-interferons, increasing their amount to a physiologically active level, increasing the body’s nonspecific resistance to viral / bacterial infection.
The medicine has antioxidant activity, inhibits the course of free radical processes, thereby preventing the accumulation of lipid oxidation products, promotes recovery after an infection, adaptation to adverse conditions, and reduces intoxication. The drug is a regulator of apoptosis (programmed cell death), enhances the action of apoptosis-inducing substances, activates the enzyme caspase 9, thereby helping to eliminate cells affected by the virus, preventing the occurrence of chronic diseases against the background of a latent (latent) course of viral infection. This medicine prevents re-infection and lengthens the period of remission.
