Abstract

The immune system plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and defending against infections, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders. Pharmacological modulation of the immune response has emerged as a promising strategy for managing a wide range of diseases, including cancer, autoimmune conditions, and infectious diseases. Recent advancements in immunopharmacology have led to the development of targeted immunomodulatory agents such as cytokine inhibitors, immune checkpoint regulators, and small-molecule modulators. These innovations have revolutionized therapeutic approaches, improving patient outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. This review explores current insights into the mechanisms of immune modulation, highlights key immunopharmacological interventions, and discusses future perspectives, including the integration of precision medicine, nanotechnology, and bioengineered therapies. As research continues to uncover novel immune targets, pharmacological strategies are expected to become increasingly personalized and effective, shaping the future of immunotherapy and disease management.
