Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The drug CervikonЃ-DIM contains diindolylmethane as an active ingredient, which is an agent that stimulates the apoptosis of human papillomavirus (HPV) and transformed cells, as well as a stimulator of the expression of receptors for ?-interferon. Thus, the therapeutic effect of diindolylmethane is based on its ability to accelerate the elimination of human papillomavirus-infected and transformed cells and to enhance the nonspecific immune response to infection. In addition, diindolylmethane normalizes the metabolism of estradiol in HPV-infected cells, preventing the formation of a carcinogenic metabolite of estrogen (16?-hydroxyestrone), which stimulates the expression of HPV oncogenes. By suppressing the expression of the E7 oncogene of the human papillomavirus,diindolylmethane blocks hormone-dependent pathological proliferation of HPV-infected cells.
Diindolylmethane belongs to practically non-toxic drugs (LD50 more than 5 g / kg).
Pharmacokinetics
With intravaginal administration, diindolylmethane has a high local bioavailability and practically does not enter the systemic circulation.

Interaction with other medicinal products
Has not been studied. Due to the lack of systemic pharmacokinetics, no interactions with systemic drugs are expected.
