A drug from the group of 3-hydroxypyridines. It is an inhibitor of free-radical processes - membrane-protector, which also has antihypoxic, stress-protective, nootropic, antiepileptic and anxiolytic action. The mechanism of action is due to antioxidant and membrane-protective properties. Suppresses lipid peroxidation, increases the activity of superoxide oxidase, increases the ratio of lipid-protein, improves the structure and function of the cell membrane. Modulates the activity of membrane-bound enzymes (calcium-independent phosphodiesterase, adenylate cyclase, acetylcholinesterase), receptor complexes (benzodiazepine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, acetylcholine), which facilitates their binding to ligands, preservation of the structural and functional organization of biomembranes, neurotransmitter transport 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 creatine phosphate and ATP, activates energosinteziruyuschuyu mitochondrial function.
Increases the resistance of the body to the effects of various damaging factors in pathological conditions.
It improves the metabolism and blood supply of 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. Has hypolipidemic effect, reduces the content of total cholesterol and low density lipoproteins.
Improves the functional state of ischemic myocardium with myocardial infarction, contractile function of the heart, and also reduces the manifestations of systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle.
In the context of the critical reduction in coronary blood flow helps to preserve the structural and functional organization of the cardiomyocyte membrane, stimulates the activity of membrane enzymes - phosphodiesterase, adenylate cyclase, acetylcholinesterase.It supports the activation of aerobic glycolysis in acute ischemia and promotes the restoration of mitochondrial oxidation-reduction processes under conditions of hypoxia, increases the synthesis of ATP and creatine phosphate. Ensures the integrity of the morphological structures and physiological functions of the ischemic myocardium.
Improves the clinical course of myocardial infarction, improves the efficiency of the therapy, accelerates restoration of functional activity of the left ventricle, reduces the incidence of arrhythmias and conduction disorders intracardiac. Normalises metabolic processes in the ischemic myocardium reduces the zone of necrosis, restores and / or improves the electrical activity and contractility of the myocardium and increase coronary blood flow in the ischemic area, improves antianginal activity nitropreparatov, improves the rheological properties of the blood, reduces the consequences of reperfusion syndrome in acute coronary insufficiency.
