Recombinant human interferon α2b injection (Pseudomonas)

Function and Efficacy

1. Pharmacology: This product is produced by recombinant Pseudomonas carrying the human leukocyte interferon α2b gene plasmid. It has broad-spectrum antiviral, anti-tumor, cell proliferation inhibition and immune function enhancement effects. Interferon binds to cell surface receptors, induces cells to produce a variety of antiviral proteins, and inhibits viral reproduction in cells; interferon has a direct inhibitory effect on tumor cells, can regulate the host's anti-tumor immune response, and change the relationship between the host and tumor cells by inhibiting and decomposing factors required for tumor cell growth; interferon improves immune function, including enhancing the phagocytic function of macrophages, enhancing the cytotoxicity of lymphocytes to target cells and the function of natural killer cells. 2. Toxicology: (1) Acute toxicology test: Mice were injected intraperitoneally and intravenously with this product, and the dosage was 150,000 international units per kilogram and 150,000 international units per kilogram, respectively, which is 105 times and 104 times the therapeutic dose for humans. No acute poisoning symptoms occurred, and no animals died. (2) Long-term toxicity test: Rats were injected intramuscularly with this product at a dose of 15 million international units per kilogram, 1.5 million international units per kilogram, and 150,000 international units per kilogram, 5 times a week for a total of 6 months. There were no abnormalities in the general condition, weight, and behavior of the rats. The above test was repeated in rabbits, and no toxic reactions were observed for three months. The pathological tissue examination of the rabbits' internal organs did not show any changes caused by the toxicity of this product. (3) Reproductive toxicity: Literature shows that interferon may damage fertility. In primate studies, it was observed that animals using interferon had abnormal menstrual cycles. It is reported that women treated with human leukocyte interferon had reduced serum estradiol and progesterone concentrations. Therefore, women of childbearing age should not use this product unless effective contraceptive measures are used during medication. Literature data from foreign studies using rhesus monkeys show that this product has an abortion effect at a dose of 90-180 times the recommended dose for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection for humans (2MIU/m2). Although abortion occurred in all dose groups (7.5 MIU, 15 MIU and 30 MIU/kg), it was statistically significant only in the medium and high doses (equivalent to 90-180 times the recommended human dose of 2 MIU/m2 for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection) compared with the control group. High doses of other types of interferon α or β are known to cause dose-related ovulation arrest and abortion in rhesus monkeys. The above toxic doses are generally not easily reached clinically for this product.
