Description

White SolidPidotimod, a dipeptide immunomodulating agent, has been introduced as immunostimulant therapy in patients with cell-mediated immunosuppression during respiratory or urinary tract infections. It has also been reported to provide protection from bacterial infections in mice.The chemical name of pidotimod is: (4R)-3-(5-oxo-L-prolyl)-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. Its formula is C9H13N2O4S, molecular mass is 244.26 g/mol. It is a white odorless crystalline powder, soluble in water


(4R)-3-[oxo-[(2S)-5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinyl]methyl]-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid is a peptide.|Pidotimod is a synthetic dipeptide with immunomodulatory properties.

Drug Information

For use as immunostimulant therapy for treatment of cell-mediated immunosuppression with respiratory or urinary infections.

Pidotimod modulates the immune system to induce an immune response against bacterial or viral pathogens

Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity. (See all compounds classified as Adjuvants, Immunologic.)|Biologically active substances whose activities affect or play a role in the functioning of the immune system. (See all compounds classified as Immunologic Factors.)

Bioavailability of 45%.|95% of intravenous dose is eliminated in the urine as the parent compound.

Half life of 4 h.

Pidotimod inhibits tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) induced increases in extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) phosphorylation. It also increases nuclear factor κB (NFκB) expression and translocation to the nucleus. It is these to modulatory effects on ERK and NFκB signalling which are thought to produce the increase in toll-like receptor expression seen with pidotimod. Pidotimod increase maturation of dendritic cells responsible for presenting antigens to naive Th-cells. It also appears to result in a greater population these cells diiferentiating to Th1 cells which are believed to mediate the immune response to pathogens like bacteria and viruses. Lastly, pidotimod appears to increase antigen-specific antibody titer and cytotoxic response with antigen exposure. The precise mechanism and timeline of events leading to these effects is unknown.

Pidotimod Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The above-mentioned product L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid was added to 500 ml of absolute ethanol, and 100 g of thionyl chloride was added dropwise thereto, which was produced as a white gas, and the mixture was heated to reflux for 5 hours. Ethanol was distilled off under reduced pressure, concentrated aqueous ammonia was added dropwise, pH was adjusted to 12, extracted twice with isopropyl acetate, and the ester layer was evaporated to dryness.500 ml of THF was added, and 82 g of L-pyroglutamic acid was added in portions, stirred and dissolved, and then cooled to 0 °C. 125 g of DCC in THF was added dropwise, and the mixture was warmed to room temperature overnight, and an insoluble solid cyclohexylurea appeared during the reaction.Filtration, filter cake washing, and evaporation of the filtrate. The temperature was lowered to 5 ° C, and the potassium hydroxide solution was slowly dropped, and the reaction was completed by TLC. The pH was adjusted to 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the temperature was lowered and a few pimodex seeds were added. After stirring for 2 hours, a large amount of solid was precipitated, and dried by filtration to obtain 47.2 g.

Uses

Immunostimulant used in patients with cell-mediated immunodepression.
