Description
Proproten-100 Pharmacodynamics
The drug modifies the functional activity of protein S-100, which conjugates informational and metabolic processes in the brain. It sensitizes neuronal membrane and modulates
synaptic plasticity of neurons. It has a modifying effect on the functional state of brain structures involved in the formation of alcohol addiction: hypothalamus, hippocampus, etc.
In case of alcohol addiction it has a normalizing effect on the system of positive emotional reinforcement, which leads to a decrease in the frequency of self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus. Reduces
pachal activity of hippocampal neurons; decreases the number of circulating immunocomplexes in peripheral blood, which correlates with reduction of ethanol consumption. Contributes to the enhancement of
inhibitory effects of GABA in CNS. It is experimentally established that the drug restores neurotransmitter balance and conditioned reflex activity. Increases resistance of the brain to hypoxia and toxic effects.
