2-Ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate
Ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate
Ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, also known as Emoxypine, is a compound primarily used for its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. It is available in various forms, including injections.
Pharmacological Properties
Antioxidant: It inhibits the oxidation of biomembrane lipids and increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes.Neuroprotective: It is believed to improve cerebral blood circulation and protect against neurodegenerative conditions.
Anxiolytic and Anticonvulsant: It has anti-stress and anti-anxiety effects, and can help in managing convulsions.Mechanism of ActionEmoxypine’s mechanism of action is thought to involve:Membrane Protection: Stabilizes cell membranes and prevents hemolysis.Lipid Regulation: Reduces cholesterol levels and improves the lipid-protein ratio in cell membranes.Enzyme Modulation: Modulates the activity of membrane-bound enzymes and receptor complexes.AdministrationIntravenous (IV) or Intramuscular (IM): The injection can be administered either intravenously or intramuscularly. For IV administration, it is often diluted in a 0.9% sodium chloride solution.Dosage: The dosage regimen is typically individualized based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment.IndicationsAcute cerebrovascular diseasesCraniocerebral injuriesAnxiety disordersCognitive impairments due to atherosclerosis
