Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
Arginine (a-amino-d-guanidinovaleric acid) is an amino acid that belongs to the class of conditionally essential amino acids and is an active and versatile cellular regulator of numerous vital functions of the body, exerting important protective effects in critical conditions of the body.
Arginine hydrochloride exhibits antihypoxic, membrane-stabilizing, cytoprotective, antioxidant, antiradical, detoxification activity, manifests itself as an active regulator of intermediate metabolism and energy supply processes, plays a certain role in maintaining hormonal balance in the body. It is known that arginine increases the blood content of insulin, glucagon, somatotropic hormone and prolactin, participates in the synthesis of proline, polyamine, agmatine, is involved in the processes of fibrinogenolysis, spermatogenesis, and has a membrane depolarizing effect.
Arginine is one of the main substrates in the urea synthesis cycle in the liver. The hypoammonemic effect of the drug is realized by activating the conversion of ammonia into urea. It has a hepatoprotective effect due to its antioxidant, antihypoxic and membrane-stabilizing activity, and has a positive effect on the processes of energy supply in hepatocytes.
Arginine hydrochloride is a substrate for NO synthase, an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of nitric oxide in endothelial cells. The drug activates guanylate cyclase and increases the level of cyclic guanidine monophosphate (cGMP) in the vascular endothelium, reduces the activation and adhesion of leukocytes and platelets to the vascular endothelium, inhibits the synthesis of adhesion proteins VCAM-1 and MCP-1, thus preventing the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaques, inhibits the synthesis of endothelin-1, which is a powerful vasoconstrictor and stimulator of proliferation and migration of smooth myocytes of the vascular wall. Arginine hydrochloride also inhibits the synthesis of asymmetric dimethylarginine, a powerful endogenous stimulator of oxidative stress. The drug stimulates the activity of the thymus gland, which produces T-cells, regulates the content of glucose in the blood during physical exertion. It has an acid-forming effect and helps correct acid-base balance.
Pharmacokinetics.
With continuous intravenous infusion, the maximum concentration of arginine hydrochloride in the blood plasma is observed 20-30 minutes after the start of administration. Arginine hydrochloride penetrates the placental barrier, is filtered in the renal glomeruli, but is almost completely reabsorbed in the renal tubules.
Indication
Metabolic alkalosis, hyperammonemia, atherosclerosis of the heart and brain vessels, atherosclerosis of peripheral vessels, including those with manifestations of intermittent claudication, diabetic angiopathy, arterial hypertension, chronic heart failure, hypercholesterolemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, fetal growth retardation and preeclampsia - use as part of complex therapy.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to the drug. Severe renal dysfunction, hyperchloremic acidosis; history of allergic reactions; use of potassium-sparing diuretics, as well as spironolactone. Myocardial infarction (including history).
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions
When using arginine, it is necessary to take into account that it can cause severe and persistent hyperkalemia against the background of renal failure in patients who are taking or have taken spironolactone. Previous use of potassium-sparing diuretics can also contribute to an increase in the level of potassium concentration in the blood. When used simultaneously with aminophylline, an increase in insulin levels in the blood is possible.
Arginine is incompatible with thiopental.
Application features
In patients with renal insufficiency, diuresis and plasma potassium levels should be checked before starting the infusion, as the drug may contribute to the development of hyperkalemia.
The drug should be used with caution in cases of endocrine gland dysfunction. The drug can stimulate the secretion of insulin and growth hormone.
If dry mouth occurs, it is necessary to check your blood sugar level.
It should be used with caution in cases of electrolyte imbalance and kidney disease. If symptoms of asthenia develop while taking the drug, treatment should be discontinued.
The drug should be used with caution in patients with angina pectoris.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
There are no data on the use of the drug during breastfeeding.
Ability to influence reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms
Caution should be exercised when driving or operating other machinery, as the medicine may cause dizziness.
Method of administration and doses
The drug is administered intravenously drip at a rate of 10 drops per minute for the first 10-15 minutes, then the rate of administration can be increased to 30 drops per minute.
The daily dose of the drug is 100 ml of solution.
In case of severe circulatory disorders in the central and peripheral vessels, with pronounced symptoms of intoxication, hypoxia, and asthenic conditions, the dose of the drug can be increased to 200 ml per day.
The maximum rate of infusion solution administration should not exceed 20 mmol/h.
For children under 12 years of age, the dose of the drug is 5-10 ml per 1 kg of body weight per day.
For the treatment of metabolic alkalosis, the dose can be calculated as follows:
arginine hydrochloride (mmol)
______________________________________ ´ 0.3 ´ body weight (kg)
alkali excess (Be) (mmol/l)
Administration should begin with half the calculated dose. Any additional correction should be made after receiving the results of an updated acid-base balance.
Children
The medicine is used in children aged 3 years and over.
Overdose
Symptoms: renal failure, hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis.
Treatment. In case of overdose, the infusion of the drug should be stopped. It is necessary to monitor physiological reactions and maintain vital functions of the body. If necessary, alkalizing agents and agents for establishing diuresis (saluretics), electrolyte solutions (0.9% sodium chloride solution, 5% glucose solution) are administered. Therapy is symptomatic.

Immune system disorders: anaphylactic shock, hypersensitivity reactions including rash, urticaria, angioedema.
Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: dyspnea.
Cardiovascular system: fluctuations in blood pressure, changes in heart rhythm, pain in the heart area.
From the nervous system: headache, dizziness, feeling of fear, weakness, convulsions, tremor, more often when the rate of administration is exceeded.
