| Nivalin®
|
ALKALOID WITH
ANTICHOLINESTERASE ACTIVITY |
Excessive Decurarizing Drug
|
Nivalin (Galantamine) is an original
phytopreparation developed by Sopharma's own research team and
produced with an original technology for extraction of the alkaloid
Galantamine from the bulbs of the plant snowdrops (Leucojum
aestivum). Galantamine is the active ingredient in Nivalin.
|
 |
| Nivalin is competitive reversible inhibitor of
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and prolongs the hydrolysis of
endogenous mediator acetylcholine, thereby increasing its
accumulation in the choline sensitive postsynaptic membranes. |
Adaptation of nicotine cholinesterase transmission for account of
the blockage of AChE and the sensibilization of nicotine
acetylcholine receptors (nAChR).
|
| ANTICHOLINESTERASE
ACTIVITY |
- Nivalin inhibits reversibly brain, erythrocytic, muscle and
serum cholinesterase. Its effect on brain cholinesterase is
10-12 times as potent, compared to physostigmine, since Nivalin
crosses the blood-brain barrier.
- Nivalin increases the intensity of nerve impulses leading to
the muscle tissues, increases muscle contractions and their
duration.
- Nivalin antagonizes the effect of nondepolarizing
neuromuscular blocking drugs. The antagonistic effect develops
20-30 s following parenteral administration and continues 30 to
60 minutes.
- Nivalin stimulates the frequency and tone of the
gastrointestinal muscle contraction.
- Nivalin possesses mild hypotensive effect when administered in
small or medium doses and in higher doses has two-phase action.

spectrum of application for therapeutic purposes.
Nivalin is very well tolerated and despite that
fact should not be prescribed in conditions of bronchial asthma,
bradycardia, angina pectoris, heart failure, epilepsy, hyperkinetic
dyskinesia.
