Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Has a vasodilator effect, causing improves peripheral and cerebral circulation. Causes a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and increases cardiac output, without causing any significant effect on heart rate and blood pressure. Vasodilator effect Duzofarma is the result of its direct myotropic antagonistic towards serotonin 5HT2 - receptors and alpha- adrenoceptor blocking action.

Has M -anticholinergic action. Has a positive effect on cellular metabolism, improving the utilization of oxygen and glucose. This effect of the drug is determined by its ability to increase ATP levels and inhibit the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase . Enables the utilization of glucose through the citric acid cycle and increases the conversion of succinic acid into fumaric acid. This increases the resistance of cells (including the brain) to hypoxia.

In addition, increased viscosity reduces Duzofarm blood.

 

Pharmacokinetics

Duzofarm almost completely absorbed by ingestion . Food virtually no effect on its absorption . After a single dose of 100 mg of the maximum plasma concentration observed after 45-60 minutes and is 175 ug / ml. Undergoes hepatic recycling that promotes longer finding it in the plasma. Linking blood protein - 80%. Penetrates the blood-brain barrier . The maximum concentration in the brain tissue after 60 minutes is observed . After 24 h after administration its concentration in the brain tissues of 3 times higher than in plasma. No data on the penetration Duzofarma through the placenta and breast milk.

Metabolized mainly in the liver by hydrolysis which is carried out by plasma esterases . The principal metabolites were studied nafronovaya acid and diethylaminoethanol , which has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system.

The half-life of 1-2 hours at a single dose of 100 mg, and 3.5 hours when receiving 200 mg. Excreted mainly through the intestines and kidneys in a small amount . No data on changes in the rate of its removal with abnormal liver function or renal function. Age did not affect the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug.
