Mechanism of action

Mexidol is an antioxidant agent. It has a wide range of pharmacological activity: it increases the body's resistance to stress, has an anxiolytic effect, which is not accompanied by drowsiness and muscle relaxant effect. It has a nootropic effect, prevents and reduces the disorders of learning and memory that occur during aging and the effects of various pathogenic factors, has an anticonvulsant effect; has antioxidant and antihypoxic properties, increases concentration and performance; weakens the toxic effect of alcohol.
Mexidol increases the body's resistance to the effects of various damaging factors, to oxygen-dependent pathological conditions (shock, hypoxia and ischemia, impaired cerebral circulation, intoxication with alcohol and antipsychotic drugs).
Mexidol improves brain metabolism and blood supply to the brain, improves microcirculation and blood rheological properties, and reduces platelet aggregation. Stabilizes membrane structures of blood cells (erythrocytes and platelets). It has a hypolipidemic effect, reduces the content of total cholesterol and LDL.
The mechanism of action of Mexidol is due to its antioxidant and membrane-protective action. It inhibits lipid peroxidation processes, increases the activity of superoxidase, increases the ratio of lipid-protein, reduces the viscosity of the membrane, increases its fluidity.Modulates the activity of membrane-bound enzymes (calcium-independent phosphodiesterase, adenylate cyclase, acetylcholinesterase), receptor complexes (benzodiazepine, GABA, acetylcholine), which enhances their ability to bind to ligands, helps to preserve the structural and functional organization of biomembranes, and the use of the organomers, as a result of the use of the organomers, as a result of the use of the organomers, as a result of the use of the organomers, as a result of the use of the organomerbane, in addition to the organomers, as a result of the use of the organomegran, organomers, organomers, organomers, and other organisms;
Mexidol increases the content of dopamine in the brain. It causes an increase in compensatory activation of aerobic glycolysis and a decrease in the degree of inhibition of oxidative processes in the Krebs cycle under hypoxic conditions with an increase in ATP and creatine phosphate, activation of energy-synthesizing functions of mitochondria, and stabilization of cell membranes.
