Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Gliatilin is a drug belonging to the group of central cholinomimetics with a predominant effect on the central nervous system (CNS). Choline alfoscerate as a choline carrier and a precursor of phosphatidylcholine has the potential to prevent and correct biochemical damage, which is of particular importance among the pathogenic factors of psychoorganic involutional syndrome, i.e. it can affect the reduced cholinergic tone and the altered phospholipid composition of nerve cell membranes. The drug contains 40.5% metabolically protected choline. Metabolic protection ensures the release of choline in the brain. Gliatilin has a positive effect on memory functions and cognitive abilities, as well as on indicators of emotional state and behavior, the deterioration of which was caused by the development of involutional brain pathology.
The mechanism of action is based on the fact that when choline enters the body, alfoscerate is broken down by enzymes into choline and glycerophosphate: choline takes part in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine - one of the main mediators of nervous excitation; glycerophosphate is a precursor of phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine) of the neuronal membrane. Thus, Gliatilin improves the transmission of nerve impulses in cholinergic neurons; has a positive effect on the plasticity of neuronal membranes and the function of receptors. Gliatilin improves cerebral blood flow, enhances metabolic processes in the brain, activates the structures of the reticular formation of the brain and restores consciousness in traumatic brain injury.
Pharmacokinetics
On average, almost 88% of the administered dose of Gliatilin is absorbed. The drug accumulates mainly in the brain (45% of the drug concentration in the blood), lungs and liver. Elimination of the drug occurs mainly through the lungs in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). Only 15% of the drug is excreted in the urine and bile.
Indication
Degenerative-involutional brain psychoorganic syndromes or secondary consequences of cerebrovascular insufficiency, i.e. primary and secondary disorders of mental activity in the elderly, characterized by memory impairment, confusion, disorientation, decreased motivation and initiative, decreased ability to concentrate; changes in the emotional and behavioral sphere: emotional instability, irritability, indifference to the environment; pseudomelancholia in the elderly.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug. Psychotic syndrome, severe psychomotor agitation. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
