Inosine belongs to the group of drugs that regulate metabolic processes. Purine derivative (nucleoside), the precursor of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Has antihypoxic, metabolic and antiarrhythmic effect. Increases the energy balance of the myocardium, improves coronary circulation, prevents the consequences of intraoperative kidney ischemia. It takes a direct part in the exchange of glucose and promotes the activation of metabolism in conditions of hypoxia and in the absence of ATP.Activates the metabolism of pyruvic acid to ensure a normal process of tissue respiration, and also promotes the activation of xanthine dehydrogenase. Stimulates the synthesis of nucleotides, enhances the activity of certain enzymes of the Krebs cycle. Penetrating into cells, increases the energy level, has a positive effect on the metabolic processes in the myocardium, increases the strength of the heart contractions and promotes more complete relaxation of the myocardium in diastole, resulting in an increase in the shock volume of blood.
Reduces platelet aggregation, activates the regeneration of tissues (especially the myocardium and mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract).
