Pharmacodynamics
Gliatilin is a drug that belongs to the group of central cholinomimetics with a predominant effect on the central nervous system (CNS). Choline alfoscerate as a carrier of choline and a previous agent of phosphatidylcholine has the potential ability to prevent and correct biochemical damage, which is of particular importance among the pathogenic factors of psychoorganic involutional syndrome, that is, it can affect a decreased cholinergic tone and altered the phospholipid composition of the membranes of nerve cells. The drug contains 40.5% of metabolically protected choline. Metabolic protection is provided by 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 split under the action of enzymes into choline and glycerophosphate: choline takes part in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine – one of the main mediators of nervous excitement; glycerophosphate is a precursor of phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine) of the neuronal membrane. Thus, Gliatilin improves the transmission of nerve impulses in cholinergic neurons; positively affects the plasticity of neuronal membranes and receptor function. 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 damage.
Pharmacokinetics
On average, about 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% is excreted in urine and bile.
