Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Emoxipin is a drug with antioxidant, angioprotective, antihypoxant properties. The active substance - methylethylpyridinol, reduces the permeability of the vascular wall, blood viscosity and platelet aggregation, has fibrinolytic activity. Inhibits free radical processes. Increases the content of cyclic nucleotides (adenosine monophosphate and guanosine monophosphate) in platelets and brain tissue, reduces the risk of hemorrhage and promotes their faster resorption.

In cases of acute ischemic disorders of cerebral circulation, it reduces the severity of neurological symptoms, increases tissue resistance to hypoxia and ischemia.

The use of a solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration helps to improve the contractility and function of the cardiac conduction system, to limit the size of the necrosis focus in the acute period of myocardial infarction. Expands coronary vessels, in patients with high blood pressure - has a hypotensive effect.

The retinoprotective properties of Emoxipin make it possible to protect the retina when it is damaged by high-intensity light. In ophthalmology, the drug is used for resorption of intraocular hemorrhages, improvement of eye microcirculation. Eye drops cause a decrease in capillary permeability, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and help stabilize the cell membrane.

Pharmacokinetics

With intravenous and intramuscular administration, the volume of distribution of emoxipin is 5.2 liters, the clearance is 214.8 ml / min. Metabolism of methylethylpyridinol occurs in the liver. It is excreted through the kidneys. The half-life is 18 minutes.

After instillation of Emoxipin in the eye, the active substance is rapidly absorbed into its tissue. Plasma protein binding is about 42%. In the eye tissue, the deposition and metabolism of methylethylpyridinol occurs with the formation of 5 metabolites in the form of dealkylated and conjugated products of its conversion. It is excreted through the kidneys in the form of metabolites. The concentration of the drug in the tissues of the eye is higher than in the blood.
