Zadaxin

General Description

Thymalfasin (thymosin-alpha 1) is an immunomodulating agent able to enhance the Thl immune response. It has been evaluated for its immunomodulatory activities and related therapeutic potential in several diseases, including chronic hepatitis B and C, AIDS, primary immunodeficiency diseases, depressed response to vaccination and cancer.

Mechanism of action

The primary mechanism by which Thymalfasin operates involves bolstering the immune system. Thymosin Alpha-1, the active component of Thymalfasin, is known to enhance T-cell function. T-cells are a type of white blood cell crucial for adaptive immunity. By promoting the maturation and differentiation of these cells, Thymalfasin aids the body in mounting a more effective immune response against pathogens and malignant cells. Additionally, Thymalfasin has been observed to increase the production of various cytokines, including interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). These cytokines play a pivotal role in regulating immune responses and activating other immune cells. Furthermore, Thymalfasin has demonstrated the ability to enhance the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which are essential for the innate immune response against virally infected cells and tumors. The peptide also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, making it a multifaceted tool in the arsenal of immunotherapy.
