Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Enisamium iodide is a derivative of isonicotinic acid. It has an inhibitory effect on influenza viruses, has interferonogenic properties, increases the body’s resistance to viral infections, and has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects.
The antiviral effect of Amizonchik is associated with its direct effect on the hemagglutinins of the influenza virus, as a result of which the virion loses the ability to attach to target cells for further replication.
The anti-inflammatory effect is the result of stabilization of cell and lysosomal membranes, slowing down of basophil degranulation, antioxidant action, normalization of prostaglandin levels, cyclic nucleotides and energy metabolism in the focus of inflammation. The antipyretic properties of this agent are due to the effect on the thermoregulatory centers of the brain. The analgesic effect of the agent is carried out through the reticular formation of the brain stem.
Enisamium iodide enhances persistent immunity by increasing the level of endogenous interferon in blood plasma by 3-4 times, lysozyme and increasing the titer of antibodies to infectious agents, as well as cellular immunity by stimulating the functional activity of T-lymphocytes and macrophages. This agent is a powerful inducer of endogenous interferon.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, enisamium iodide quickly enters the blood, its maximum concentration in the blood is observed 2-2.5 hours after administration. The half-life is 13.5-14 hours. The drug is metabolized in the liver, but is rapidly excreted from the tissues (the half-life is 2-3 hours). It is excreted from the body by 90-95% with urine in the form of metabolites.
