Neurox solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration 50 mg/ml 2 ml ampoules 10 pcs. in Moscow
Ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (EMHPS) is an inhibitor of free radical processes, a membrane protector with antihypoxic, stress-protective, nootropic, anticonvulsant and anxiolytic effects. Belongs to the class of 3-hydroxypyridines. The mechanism of action is due to antioxidant and membrane protective properties. Suppresses lipid peroxidation, increases superoxide dismutase activity, increases the lipid-protein ratio, improves the structure and function of the cell membrane.
Modulates the activity of membrane-bound enzymes and receptor complexes, which promotes their binding to ligands, preservation of the structural and functional organization of biomembranes and transport of neurotransmitters, and improvement of synaptic transmission. Increases the concentration of dopamine in the brain. It enhances the compensatory activation of aerobic glycolysis and reduces the degree of inhibition of oxidative processes in the Krebs cycle under hypoxic conditions with an increase in the level of ADP and creatine phosphate, and activates the energy-synthesizing function of mitochondria.
Increases the body's resistance to the effects of various damaging factors in pathological conditions (shock, hypoxia and ischemia, cerebrovascular accident, intoxication with ethanol and antipsychotic drugs). Improves metabolism and blood supply to the brain, microcirculation and rheological properties of blood, reduces platelet aggregation. Stabilizes the membranes of blood cells (erythrocytes and platelets), reducing the likelihood of hemolysis. It has a lipid-lowering effect, reduces the content of total cholesterol and LDL.
Normalizes metabolic processes in the ischemic myocardium, reduces the necrosis zone, restores and/or improves the electrical activity and contractility of the myocardium, and also increases coronary blood flow in the ischemic zone, increases the antianginal activity of nitro drugs, reduces the consequences of reperfusion syndrome in acute coronary insufficiency.
The stress-protective effect is manifested in the normalization of post-stress behavior, somatovegetative disorders, restoration of sleep-wake cycles, impaired learning and memory processes, and a reduction in dystrophic changes in various brain structures.
EMGPS has a pronounced antitoxic effect during withdrawal syndrome, eliminates neurological and neurotoxic manifestations of acute alcohol intoxication, and corrects behavioral and cognitive disorders. Under the influence of EMGPS, the effect of tranquilizing, neuroleptic, antidepressant, hypnotics and anticonvulsants is enhanced, which makes it possible to reduce their doses and reduce side effects.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The active ingredient Neuroxa ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (EMHPS) suppresses the toxic effect of free radicals formed during the metabolic process in the human body and destroying cells and tissues. It protects the membranes (shells) of brain cells from any influences, improves their structure and function (including the transport of oxygen and neurotransmitters - substances through which information is transmitted in brain cells).
of dopamine in the brain , which is called the hormone of pleasure, increases. All this leads to an increase in stress resistance and mental abilities, a decrease in anxiety and convulsive readiness . Neurox has an antitoxic effect during acute and chronic alcohol intoxication , during withdrawal syndrome ( intoxication that develops against the background of withdrawal from alcohol in patients with chronic alcoholism ) and during an overdose of drugs affecting the central nervous system.
The duration of action of Neurox when administered intramuscularly is up to 4 hours. The maximum concentration in blood plasma occurs 20–40 minutes after administration. The active substance quickly passes from blood vessels to organs and tissues and is also quickly excreted from the body in the urine, having previously been metabolized (decomposed into metabolic products - metabolites ) in the liver.
