Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The active substance MetucinVela is ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, a representative of the 3-hydroxypyridine class. The drug suppresses free radical processes, protects cell membranes from all sorts of damage. It also has an antihypoxic effect, increases stress resistance.
The mechanism of action of MetucinVela is due to the membrane-protective and antioxidant properties of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate. The drug inhibits lipid peroxidation, improves cell function and structure, increases the ratio of lipids and proteins, and enhances the activity of superoxide oxidase.
MetucinVel affects the activity of enzymes that bind membranes (acetylcholinesterase, adenylate cyclase and calcium-independent phosphodiesterase), receptor complexes (acetylcholine, benzodiazepine, gamma-aminobutyric). This increases the ability of cell membranes to bind to ligands, preserves the structural and functional organization of biomembranes, improves the transport of neurotransmitters and synaptic transmission.
MetucinVel increases the level of dopamine in the brain. It enhances the compensatory activation of aerobic glycolysis and the energy-synthesizing functions of mitochondria, reduces the degree of inhibition of oxidative processes in the Krebs cycle in the case of hypoxia, accompanied by an increased content of ATP (adenosine triphosphoric acid) and CP (creatine phosphate).
The drug increases the body's resistance to the effects of all kinds of damaging factors against the background of various pathological conditions: with impaired cerebral circulation, ischemia, hypoxia, alcohol or antipsychotic intoxication.
With a critical decrease in coronary blood flow, ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate retains the structural and functional organization of cardiomyocyte membranes, increases the activity of membrane enzymes. In patients with acute ischemia, it supports the developing activation of aerobic glycolysis and the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Under conditions of hypoxia, it improves redox mitochondrial processes, increases the synthesis of CP and ATP. With ischemic myocardium, it ensures the integrity of its physiological functions, normalizes metabolic processes in it. Improves the rheological properties of blood. Strengthens the antianginal effect of nitrates. In case of acute coronary insufficiency, it reduces the consequences of reperfusion syndrome.
MetucinVel improves the clinical condition of the patient with myocardial infarction and increases the effectiveness of the treatment, reduces the risks of arrhythmia and intracardiac conduction disturbances. With progressive neuropathy, which develops against a background of hypoxia and chronic ischemia, it helps to preserve the fibers of the optic nerve and retinal ganglion cells, improves their functional activity, thereby increasing visual acuity. In patients with acute pancreatitis, MetucinVel reduces endogenous intoxication and enzymatic toxemia.
The drug stabilizes the membranes of blood cells, as a result of which the risk of hemolysis is reduced. Reduces platelet aggregation, improves rheological properties and blood microcirculation. Increases blood circulation and brain metabolism.
MetucinVel reduces the content of total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins, due to which it has a hypolipidemic effect.
Pharmacokinetics
The maximum plasma concentration (C max) with single and multiple applications is reached in about 0.58 hours. When a dose of 400-500 mg is administered, this figure is about 3.5-4 μg / ml.
The active substance MetucinVela is rapidly distributed in human tissues and organs. In the body, the drug is retained for 0.7-1.3 hours.
Ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate is metabolized in the liver during glucuronidation with the formation of metabolites, of which five were identified: the first is a pharmacologically active metabolite, which is formed in large quantities and is found in urine 1–2 days after MetucinVel administration; the second, 3-hydroxypyridine phosphate, is formed with the participation of alkaline phosphatase, after which it decomposes into 3-hydroxypyridine and phosphoric acid; the third is a metabolite, which is excreted in large quantities in the urine; the fourth and fifth are glucuron conjugates.
The drug is quickly excreted from the plasma, after 4 hours it is practically impossible to determine it. It is excreted in the urine, mainly in the form of metabolites (50% within 12 hours), partially - unchanged (about 0.3% over 12 hours). Excretion of the unchanged active substance of the drug and its metabolites is variable and depends on the individual characteristics of the patient.

Side effects
- on the part of the cardiovascular system: a short-term increase in blood pressure;
- from the nervous system: sleep disorders, drowsiness;
- from the digestive system: metallic taste in the mouth, dryness of the oral mucosa, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea;
- from the respiratory system: a sore throat, a feeling of discomfort in the chest, a feeling of lack of air (most often of a short-term nature and is caused by the excessively rapid administration of MetucinVel);
- others: a feeling of warmth throughout the body, an unpleasant odor, hypersensitivity reactions.
Overdose
The active ingredient MetucinVela is characterized by low toxicity, so the risk of overdose is unlikely.
If the recommended dose is accidentally significantly exceeded, insomnia may develop, sometimes drowsiness and sedation. Intravenous administration can increase blood pressure.
Symptoms usually resolve on their own within 24 hours, so no specific treatment is required. If blood pressure is too high, antihypertensive drugs are prescribed under the control of this indicator. With severe insomnia, the use of a sleeping pill or anxiolytic agent in oral form is indicated.
