Amixin, 60 mg 10 pcs

ATX code: J05AX

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

Low molecular synthetic inducer of interferon which stimulates formation of all types of interferons in the body (alpha, beta, gamma and lambda).

The main producers of interferon in response to tiloron administration are intestinal epithelial cells, hepatocytes, T-lymphocytes, neutrophils and granulocytes. After oral administration, the maximum production of interferon is determined in the gut-liver-blood sequence after 4-24 hours. Amixin ^® has immunomodulatory and antiviral effect.

According to the data of experimental studies after a single oral administration of Amixin® in dose equivalent to maximum daily dose for human the maximum concentration in lung tissue of interferon lambda is determined after 24 hours, of interferon alpha – after 48 hours.

The induction of interferon lambda in the lung tissue increases antiviral protection of the respiratory tract in influenza and other respiratory viral infections.

In human leukocytes it induces synthesis of interferon. It stimulates bone marrow stem cells, depending on the dose it increases antibody formation, decreases the degree of immunosuppression, restores the ratio of T-suppressors and T-helpers.

It is effective against various viral infections including influenza viruses, other acute respiratory viral infections, hepatitis viruses and herpesviruses. The mechanism of antiviral action is associated with inhibition of translation of virus-specific proteins in infected cells, resulting in suppression of virus reproduction.

Pharmacokinetics.

After oral administration it is quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability is 60%. About 80% of the drug is bound to plasma proteins. The drug is eliminated practically unchanged in intestine (70%) and kidney (9%). The elimination half-life (T_1/2) is 48 hours. The drug is not biotransformed and does not accumulate in the body.
