Activated glycyrrhizic acid has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, regenerative, immunostimulating and antipruritic action.
Effects on different types of DNA and RNA viruses in vitro and in vivo (Varicella zoster; Herpes simplex 1 and 2 type; different types of human papillomavirus, incl. oncogenic). Interrupts the replication of viruses in the early stages, causes the virion to emerge from the capsid, thereby preventing its penetration into the cells, which is associated with selective dose-dependent inhibition of phosphorylating kinase P.
It interacts with the structures of the virus, changing the different phases of the viral cycle, which is accompanied by irreversible inactivation of virus particles that are in a free state outside the cells. It blocks the introduction of active viral particles into the cell, disrupting the ability of the virus to induce the synthesis of new viral particles. It induces the formation of interferon, which is one of the components of antiviral action.
Inactivates these viruses in non-toxic concentrations for normally functioning cells.Mutant strains of viruses resistant to acyclovir and iodoridine are also highly sensitive to glycyrrhizic acid, as well as non-mutant strains. The anti-inflammatory activity of activated glycyrrhizic acid is combined with a stimulating effect on the humoral and cellular immunity factors. It significantly inhibits the release of kinins by cells of connective tissue in the area of inflammation.
The special composition of the cream determines its hydrating effect.
