Levamisole, a simple synthetic chemical, was first introduced as an anthelmintic in human and veterinary medicine. The drug is the first member of a potential new class of immunologically active, possibly thymomimetic compounds. It seems to regulate cell mediated immune reactions by restoring effector functions of peripheral T-lymphocytes and phagocytes and by stimulating precursor T-lymphocytes to differentiate into mature cells. It shares these effects with a number of other immune regulators. |
