In preclinical studies of antiherpetic drug activity, it was proved that Proteflazid has polypharmacological effects. It blocks DNA polymerase and thymidine kinase in the herpes-infected cells, induces the synthesis of endogenous αand γ-interferons, has an antioxidant activity and provides an apoptosismodulating effect. In clinical practice, the etiopathogenetic drug efficacy of Proteflazid (dr...
