Mexiprim, 125 mg 60 pcs.

Mexiprim belongs to the heteroaromatic antioxidants.

It has a wide range of pharmacological activity: increases the body’s resistance to stress, exhibits anxiolytic effect, not accompanied by myorelaxant effect; has nootropic properties, prevents and reduces learning and memory disorders that occur with aging and exposure to various pathogenic factors; has anticonvulsant effect; exhibits antioxidant and antihypoxic properties; increases attention concentration and performance; weakens the toxic effects of alcohol.

The drug improves brain tissue metabolism and blood supply, improves microcirculation and blood rheology, reduces platelet aggregation.

Stabilizes membrane structures of blood cells (erythrocytes and platelets). It has hypolipidemic effect, decreases the total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins.

The mechanism of action of Mexiprim is due to its antioxidant and membrane-protective effect.

It inhibits lipid peroxidation, increases superoxidase activity, increases lipid-protein ratio, decreases membrane viscosity and increases its fluidity.

Modulates the activity of membrane-bound enzymes (calcium-independent phosphodiesterase, adenylate cyclase, acetylcholinesterase), receptor complexes (benzodiazepine, GABA, acetylcholine) that increases their ability to bind to ligands, maintains structural and functional organization of biomembranes, neurotransport and improves synaptic transmission.

Mexiprim increases dopamine content in the brain.

Causes compensatory activation of aerobic glycolysis and reduction of the degree of inhibition of oxidative processes in the Krebs cycle under hypoxia with an increase in ATP and creatine phosphate, activation of energy-synthesizing functions of mitochondria, stabilization of cell membranes.
