Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

Glutoxime has an immunostimulatory, hemostimulating, toxic-modifying, hepatoprotective effect, inhibits the drug resistance of tumor cells to anthracycline antibiotics, alkylating agents; allows to overcome the drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to isoniazid, associated with the genes katG (catalase peroxidase gene) and inhA (phenol-APB reductase gene). Glutoxime potentiates the effect of doxorubicin on tumor cells, chemotherapy (isoniazid, rifampicin, rifabutin, cycloserine, capreomycin, levofloxacin, cationic antimicrobial peptide catalcidin) on Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Immunomodulatory effect of the drug Glutoxime is due to receptor-mediated effects on calcium-dependent signaling pathways of macrophages, which leads to increased:

Pharmacokinetics.

Glutoxime belongs to a group of natural metabolites, which determines the peculiarities of its metabolism by existing cellular enzymatic systems. After intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous injection, the bioavailability exceeds 90%. There is a linear relationship between dose and concentration of the drug in blood plasma. The maximum concentration of the drug in blood plasma with intravenous administration is observed for 2-5 minutes, with intramuscular – for 7-10 minutes. As a natural product of peptide nature, Glutoxime is metabolized in organs and tissues of the body with elimination by the kidneys.
