    A.16.A.X.06   Miglustat

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Inhibits the synthase of glucosylceramide, which leads to a decrease in the amount of substrate for Gaucher's disease and Niemann-Pick. As a result, in the case of Gaucher's disease of type 1, there is no accumulation of glucosylceramide in lysosomes, which leads to pathological changes in many organs. With Niemann-Pick disease, the amount of glycosphingolipids in glial cells and neurons decreases.
