Pharmacological properties.
Pharmacodynamics.
Riboxin is an anabolic drug that has antihypoxic and antiarrhythmic effects.
It is a precursor of ATP, is directly involved in glucose metabolism and promotes the activation of metabolism under conditions of hypoxia and in the absence of ATP. The drug activates the metabolism of pyruvic acid to ensure the normal process of tissue respiration, and also promotes the activation of xanthine dehydrogenase. Riboxin has a positive effect on the metabolism in the myocardium, in particular, it increases the energy balance of cells, stimulates the synthesis of nucleotides, and enhances the activity of a number of enzymes of the Krebs cycle. The drug normalizes the contractile activity of the myocardium and promotes a more complete relaxation of the myocardium in diastole due to the ability to bind calcium ions that have penetrated into cells when they are excited, activates tissue regeneration (especially the myocardium and the mucous membrane of the alimentary canal).
Pharmacokinetics.
When administered intravenously, riboxin is rapidly distributed in tissues. It is metabolized in the liver, where it is completely utilized in the biochemical reactions of the body. In small amounts, it is excreted mainly in the urine.
