Pharmacological properties:

Antiinflammatory activity of drug is connected with the content of glycyrrhizic acid and its derivatives inhibiting histamine, serotoninovy, bradikininovy and other inflammatory reactions reducing vascular permeability, possessing the expressed anti-proliferative action and anti-kinin effect.

Assume that glycyrrhizic acid and its derivatives increase activity of endogenous adrenal hormones, and also, being exposed in an organism to metabolic transformations, have kortikosteroidopodobny effect.

High antiinflammatory activity of glikotseptid of glycyrrhizic acid is combined with the stimulating influence on humoral factors of immunity and the antiulcerous action connected with strengthening of mechanisms of protection of a mucous membrane of a stomach.

Syrup of a root of a glycyrrhiza has fortifying properties and can be used for stimulation of resistance at persons with the weakened immunity.

The flavonoid (meletin) has also property to block secretion of a histamine mast cells. Believe that in the mechanism of antiallergic action of flavonoids on a mast cell also affinity to certain phospholipidic components of a cellular membrane is of great importance.
