Amizon

Pharmacological properties

enisamium iodide is a derivative of isonicotinic acid. It has an inhibitory effect on influenza viruses, exhibits interferonogenic properties, increases the bodys resistance to viral infections, 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 its 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 the degranulation of basophils, antioxidant action, normalizing the level of prostaglandins, cyclic nucleotides and energy metabolism in the focus of inflammation. The antipyretic properties of this agent are due to the effect on the thermostatic centers of the brain. The analgesic effect of the agent is 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 tool is a powerful inducer of endogenous interferon.

Pharmacokinetics After oral administration, Enisamium iodide quickly enters the bloodstream, C_max observed 2–2.5 hours after administration. T_½ is 13.5-14 hours. The drug is metabolized in the liver, but is rapidly excreted from the tissues (T_½ = 2-3 hours). It is excreted from the body by 90–95% with urine in the form of metabolites.
