Amezinium methylsulfate_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Amezinium metilsulfate has multiple mechanisms, including stimulation of alpha and beta-1 receptors and inhibition ofnoradrenaline and tyramine uptake. Target: alpha and beta-1 receptorsAmezinium metilsulfate is a sympathomimetic drug used for the treatment of low blood pressure. Cardiovascular effects of the new sympathomimetic Amezinium metilsulphate are investigated in 25 patients compared with a control group (n = 25). During spinal/epidural anaesthesia 5 mg amezinium is given i.v. if blood pressure dropped greater than 20 mmHg. from starting-point. A significant recovery of blood pressure (epidural anaesthesia: syst 21%, diast 9%; spinal anaesthesia: syst 13%, diast 6.6%) and a decrease in heart rate (6.8% resp. 4,5%) are thought due to peripheral vasoconstriction. Amezinium proves a stimulating drug for alpha- and beta 1-receptors by stabilising the systemic blood pressure in spinal/epidural anaesthesia.
