The anti-coronavirus drug has been patented in Russia, RIA Novosti reports. Leitragin can prevent or reduce complications that occur after infection. The Federal Biomedical Agency (FMBA) noted that it is the first and so far the only delta-opioid receptor agonist in the world to enter practical medicine.
Scientists from the FMBA Research Center for Biomedical Technologies have determined that the drug under the original name "Dalargin" has a positive effect on tissue healing and regeneration.
The researchers added that substances of this class were actively involved in the formation of an immune response, and can also prevent or mitigate a cytokine storm. This is a condition in which pro-inflammatory substances are actively released, which leads to the development of serious respiratory and general systemic disorders in patients infected with the new coronavirus.
As Russkiy Mir
reported, Russia invented new methods for diagnosing and treating coronavirus. Buryat doctors use artificial intelligence for diagnostics. Graduate students of the National Research Nuclear Engineering Physics Institute of Biomedicine of Moscow Engineering Physics Institute developed an LED installation for the safe treatment of serious diseases. The development is successfully used in the treatment of patients with COVID-19.
