SYNTHESIS OF MEDICINES BASED ON THE COORDINATION COMPOUND OF Zn(II) WITH GLUTARIC AND NICOTINIC ACIDS

Аннотация

Chronic deficiency of the trace element zinc is known to lead to immunodeficiency. Zinc is an effective immunostimulant. Zinc is present in all internal organs, tissues, fluids, and almost 100% of the body's enzymatic systems. Zinc acts as a "secondary mediator" of immune cells and significantly shortens the duration of inflammation. When a person catches a cold, a large amount of zinc is consumed in the first few hours, and the need for it increases 6-8 times. Zinc has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Zinc reduces susceptibility to acute lower respiratory tract infections. Zinc ions stimulate the production of endogenous α- and γ-interferons, which also exert antiviral activity, including against COVID-19.
