Cortexin, lyophilizate 10 mg 22 g 10 pcs

CORTEXIN contains a complex of low molecular weight water-soluble polypeptide fractions penetrating directly through the blood-brain barrier to the nerve cells. The product has nootropic, neuroprotective, antioxidant and tissue-specific effects. It improves higher brain functions, learning and memory processes, concentration of attention, resistance to various stress influences.

Neuroprotective – protects neurons from damage by various endogenous neurotoxic factors (glutamate, calcium ions, free radicals), reduces the toxic effects of psychotropic substances.

Antioxidant – inhibits lipid peroxidation in neurons, increases the survival of neurons in conditions of oxidative stress and hypoxia. Tissue-specific – activates the metabolism of central and peripheral nervous system neurons, repair processes, improves cortical functions and overall tonus of the nervous system.

Mechanism of action

CORTEXIN is due to activation of neuronal peptides and neurotrophic factors of the brain; optimization of the balance of metabolism of excitatory and inhibitory amino acids, dopamine, serotonin; GABAergic action; reduction of paroxysmal seizure activity of the brain, ability to improve its bioelectrical activity; prevention of free radical formation (products of lipid peroxidation).

Pharmacokinetics

The composition of CORTEXIN, whose active substance is a complex of polypeptide fractions, does not allow the usual pharmacokinetic analysis of individual components.
