Pharmacological action

Low molecular weight synthetic interferon inducer that stimulates the formation of all types of interferons (alpha, beta, gamma and lambda) in the body. The main producers of interferon in response to the introduction of tiloron are intestinal epithelial cells, hepatocytes, T-lymphocytes, neutrophils and granulocytes. After oral administration, the maximum production of interferon is determined in the gut — liver — blood sequence after 4-24 hours. Tiloron has an immunomodulatory and antiviral effect. According to experimental studies, after a single oral administration of tilorone at a dose equivalent to the maximum daily dose for humans, the maximum concentration in the lung tissue of interferon lambda is determined after 24 hours, interferon alpha – after 48 hours. Induction of interferon lambda in the lung tissue increases the antiviral protection of the respiratory tract in influenza and other respiratory viral infections. In human leukocytes, it induces the synthesis of interferon. It stimulates bone marrow stem cells, increases antibody formation depending on the dose, reduces the degree of immunosuppression, and restores the ratio of T-suppressors and T-helpers. It is effective against various viral infections, including influenza viruses, other acute respiratory viral infections, hepatitis viruses and herpesviruses. The mechanism of antiviral action is associated with the inhibition of translation of virus-specific proteins in infected cells, as a result of which viral reproduction is suppressed. Pharmacokineticsafter oral administration, tilorone is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability is 60%. About 80% of tilorone binds to plasma proteins. Tiloron is excreted almost unchanged through the intestines (70%) and through the kidneys (9%). The elimination half-life is 48 hours. Tilorone does not undergo biotransformation and does not accumulate in the body.
