IMMUNOMODULATOR METALLOPEPTIDES (IMMPS) AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of human and veterinary medicine. The invention solves the problem associated with the lack of an agent for improving the immune response in immunosuppressed individuals, individuals with autoimmune problems and individuals with infections, said invention being capable of reducing the effects of stress and combating tissue fibrosis, the need for anti-inflammatory agents, treatments for acute and chronic hepatitis, treatments for malignant processes and metastasis, as well as thrombocytopenia, both in humans and animals. The present invention comprises a molecular complex formed by a metal ion and a peptide as novel compound and is known as an immunomodulator metallopeptide (IMMP). The claims also include the process for obtaining the complex, the use of the metallopeptide for producing a therapeutic or nutraceutic agent, and the use of said agent in humans and animals.
