PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacodynamics
Linex ® Forte normalizes intestinal microflora. One capsule of Linex Forte contains lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-5) and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis (BB-12)), each capsule contains 109 colony forming units of live lyophilized lactic acid bacteria. Living lactic acid bacteria are a normal component of the natural intestinal microflora. The main functions of lactic acid bacteria:
protective: synthesis of substances with antibacterial activity
enzyme-producing: hydrolysis of fiber, proteins, fats, starch, deconjugation of bile acids
synthetic: synthesis of vitamins B, C, K, amino acids, organic acids, etc. Lactic acid bacteria LA-5 and BB-12 inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria by: lowering the pH in the intestines (the result of the ability of LA-5 to synthesize lactic acid and BB-12 to synthesize acetic and succinic acids in addition to lactic acid)
produce metabolites that are toxic action against pathogenic bacteria (H2O2 formation)
formation of antimicrobial agents, bacteriocins (LA-5 secretes acidocin, a broad-spectrum bacteriocin that inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi)
competitors and with pathogenic bacteria for nutrients
interactions with adhesion receptors, thereby preventing the colonization of other potentially pathogenic microorganisms.
Pharmacokinetics
Lactic acid bacteria such as LA-5 and BB-12, act directly in the gastrointestinal tract, when taken orally, the drug is not subjected to systemic absorption. Standard pharmacokinetic studies are therefore not applicable. The resistance of LA-5 and BB-12 to the effects of gastric juice and bile allows strains to survive in large numbers when passing through the stomach and duodenum. Both strains attach to the intestinal mucosa. Like other microorganisms, they are gradually excreted from the gastrointestinal tract by motility and defecation.
Indications
