Popis: Enkorten is a new potential drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, with an immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effect. It is a combination of two peptide components of endogenous origin: methionine-enkephalin of 5 mg and tridecactide of 1 mg (Picture 1 and 2). According to the chemical structures, these components correspond to amino acid sequences of the neuropeptide precursor proopiomelanocortin.
