Abstract

Immunopharmacology is the study of how drugs influence the immune system to treat diseases or enhance immune responses. This field encompasses the development of immunomodulatory agents that either suppress or stimulate immune functions. Immunosuppressive drugs are commonly used to prevent organ rejection in transplants, while immunostimulants are leveraged in treating infections and cancers. This article explores the principles of immunopharmacology, detailing the types of immunomodulatory drugs, their mechanisms of action, clinical applications, and challenges in the field. The growing understanding of the immune system has led to innovative therapies that target immune pathways for more personalized and effective treatments.
