The drug has successfully passed all preclinical tests, and scientists have proven from tests on laboratory mice that inhalation of the product resulted in a significant reduction in the size of bronchitis.

The inventor of this substance at the molecular level blocks the production of the protein "comet" in the inflammation of "interleukin-4", which causes the development of allergies, said the director of the institute, Moussa Khaitov.

Professor Johnston of the Royal College of London said in a statement that the United States and Britain are also conducting research and studies in this area, but that Russian scientists have been able to prove that interleukin-4 plays a major role in the development of respiratory tract infections. .

Professor Olga Vyodorova, specialist in allergies and immunology, said: "This drug is unmatched in the world."
