The analysis of immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effect of adriamycin in vivo was carried out. Adriamycin restrains blast reaction and decreases the building in of H3 thymidine to the nucleus of lymphocytes. At the same time it decreases the number of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood but it does not influence the level of T lymphocytes. Adriamycin restrains also nonspecific inflammatory reactions reducing the intensity of inflammatory reactions induced by xylene and carrageenin. It also reduces the inflammatory process of granulation. It does not affect histamine and prostaglandin receptors. After discussing the results it was noted that cytostatic effect of adriamycin is accompanied by immunosuppressive and inflammatory components.

Morphine is a globally prevalent substance of misuse, renowned for its immunosuppressive effects mediated through opioid receptors expressed on immune cells. Macrophages are crucial antigen-presenting cells that fulfill diverse roles, such as antigen presentation, phagocytosis, wound healing, and disease protection. They are typically classified based on their activation states: M1 (proinflammatory), M2 (anti-inflammatory), and M0 (resting).
