Pidotimod is an immunostimulatory compound often used as an adjuvant. Pidotimod is clinically used to treat acute respiratory tract infections and stimulates both cellular and humoral immunity. In animal models of Toxoplasma infection, pidotimod increases levels of Th1 cytokines and decreases parasite burden, improving survival rates, survival times, and liver histopathology. Pidotimod also promotes maturation of dendritic cells, upregulating expression of CD83 and CD86.
