Action
A metabolic approach to this drug best describes its property as an ANTI-ANGINAL drug. First described as First Cytoprotective anti-ischaemic agent, acts by directly counteracting all the major metabolic disorders occurring within the cell. Includes 3 metabolic activities, limitation of the intracellular acidosis, correction of the disturbances on ion membrane exchange and prevention of excessive production of free radicals. With these effects it then reduces the side effects of an impaired left ventricular function, excessive peripheral vasodilation. Second, so unique, as its properties, it belongs to a new class of compounds that displays an anti-ischaemic effect without inducing haemodynamic changes and improves ischaemic myocardium.
