Abstract

A concept of physicochemical forms of biologically active substances introduced in investigation of the action mechanism of ultra-low doses allows qualitative explanation of the main effects of ultra-low doses, chemical diversity of biologically active substances, and physical boundaries for these effects. Phenazepam was shown to possess activity in ultra-low doses only in disperse state, in the form of nanoparticles with a diameter <100-300 nm; these nanoparticles appear as micelles of surface active substances and solvated. Panavir possesses pharmacological activity in ultra-low doses and appears as nanoparticles with a diameter of 200-300 nm, which have uncompensated negative surface charge and polymer nature.
