BioVeteria Life Sciences, LLC (BioVeteria) announced they have partnered with IMULAN BioTherapeutics, LLC to distribute a new 60-count version of LeukoSTAT®. LeukoSTAT® contains a patented, orally active amino acid complex termed the Immune Selective Anti-Inflammatory Derivatives, or ImSAIDs®. The ImSAIDs® aid in modulating leukocyte related inflammatory conditions and have been studied in a variety of inflammatory models including pancreatitis, endotoxemia, asthma, anaphylaxis, and arthritis. BioVeteria has started programs to examine LeukoSTAT® for intestinal and oral health in cats and dogs where leukocyte (lymphocyte, plasmacyte, granulocyte) activity is considered a primary factor.
Targeting leukocyte activation and transmigration is becoming a popular target for inflammatory intervention since leukocytes participate and coordinate all inflammatory events. The ImSAIDs® are a new class of naturally occurring immuno-nutritional complexes that help support a reduction in leukocyte over-activation. In a recent edition of the
Journal of Inflammation [1], the immuno-pharmacology of the ImSAIDs® is reviewed in detail and discusses the novel immunological mechanisms which includes reduction in over-exuberant immune cell activation (leukocytes, granulocytes) and their production of reactive oxygen species.
