Pharmacodynamic properties

  • Has antianoxic effect whether anoxia is provoked by defect or misuse of oxygen.
  • Improves extraction and utilization of glucose from the brain which allows maintenance of storage of energy for the neuron even in case of O2 deficiency or aging. This action is also mediated by stimulation of aerobic glycolysis or via the enhancement of anaerobic respiration. This metabolic activity is accompanied with cerebral vasodilatation which is more marked in the grey matter in human being.
