Immunomodulator & Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice or Sweetwoods)
Immunomodulator Immunomodulation is a key issue in tissue homeostasis for the physiological stability of organisms+. The function and efficiency of the immune system are influenced by various exogenous and endogenous factors resulting in either immunosuppression or immunostimulation. Several agents possessing an activity to normalize or modulate pathophysiological processes are known as immunomodulator. The biomolecules of synthetic or biological origin capable of modulating, suppressing and stimulating any components of adaptive or innate immunity are called as immunomodulators, immunorestoratives, immunoaugmentors, or biological response modifier. Immunomodulators are generally categorized into immunoadjuvants, immunostimulants, and immunosuppressants in clinical practice. Immunoadjuvants are specific immune stimulators which enhance the efficacy of vaccine. Agents that activate or induce the mediators or components of immune system are called as immunostimulants.
