Drotaverine is an isoquinoline derivative that exhibits a powerful antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle by inhibiting the PDE-4 enzyme. Inhibition of the PDE-4 enzyme leads to an increase in the concentration of cAMP, inactivation of the myosin light chain kinase, which further causes relaxation of smooth muscles.

Reducing the concentration of Ca ions² the effect of drotaverine via cAMP explains the antagonistic effect of drotaverine with respect to Ca ions² . In vitro drotaverine inhibits the PDE-4 enzyme without inhibiting the PDE-3 and PDE-5 enzymes. Therefore, the effectiveness of drotaverine depends on the concentrations of PDE-4 in different tissues. PDE-4 is most important for suppressing the contractile activity of smooth muscles, and therefore selective inhibition of PDE-4 can be useful for the treatment of hyperkinetic dyskinesia and various diseases accompanied by a spastic state of the gastrointestinal tract. Hydrolysis of cAMP in the myocardium and vascular smooth muscle occurs mainly with the help of the enzyme PDE-3, which explains the fact that with high antispasmodic activity, drotaverine has no serious side effects from the heart and blood vessels and pronounced effects on CCC

Drotaverine is effective for smooth muscle spasms of both neurogenic and muscular origin. Regardless of the type of vegetative innervation, drotaverine relaxes the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, and genitourinary system.

Due to its vasodilating effect, drotaverine improves blood supply to tissues.

Thus, the above mechanisms of action of drotaverine eliminate smooth muscle spasm, which leads to a reduction in pain.

Drotaverine is an isoquinoline derivative that exhibits a powerful antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle by inhibiting the PDE enzyme. The PDE enzyme is required for the hydrolysis of cAMP to AMP. Inhibition of the PDE enzyme leads to an increase in cAMP concentration, which triggers the following cascade reaction: high cAMP concentrations activate cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of myosin light chain kinase( CLCM), phosphorylation of CLCM leads to a decrease in its affinity for Ca² - calmodulin complex, as a result of which the inactivated form of CLCM supports muscle relaxation. cAMP also affects the cytosolic concentration of the Ca ion² thanks to the promotion of transport Ca² into the extracellular space and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This lowers the concentration of the Ca ion² the effect of drotaverine via cAMP explains the antagonistic effect of drotaverine with respect to Ca² .

In vitro drotaverine inhibits the PDE-4 enzyme without inhibiting the PDE-3 and PDE-5 isoenzymes.

Absorption. Compared to papaverine, drotaverine is absorbed more quickly and more completely from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally. After presystemic metabolism, 65% of the received dose of drotaverine enters the systemic bloodstream. C_max drotaverine in the blood plasma is reached after 45-60 minutes.

Distribution. In vitro drotaverine has a high binding to plasma proteins (95-98%), especially to albumin, gamma-and β-globulins. Drotaverine is evenly distributed in the tissues, penetrates into smooth muscle cells. It does not penetrate through the BBB. Drotaverine and / or its metabolites may slightly cross the placental barrier.

Metabolism. Drotaverine is almost completely metabolized in the liver.

Output. T_1/2 drotaverine is 8-10 hours. Within 72 hours, drotaverine is almost completely eliminated from the body. About 50% of drotaverine is excreted by the kidneys and about 30% - through the gastrointestinal tract. Drotaverine is mainly excreted as metabolites, the unchanged form of drotaverine is not detected in the urine.

Drotaverine and / or its metabolites may slightly cross the placental barrier.

In vitro drotaverine has a high association with plasma proteins (95-97%), especially with albumin, gamma - and β-globulins, as well as with alpha-HDL.

In humans, drotaverine is almost completely metabolized in the liver by O-desethylation. Its metabolites rapidly conjugate with glucuronic acid. The main metabolite is 4' - desethyldrotaverine, in addition to which 6-desethyldrotaverine and 4'-desethyldrotaveraldine have been identified.

In humans, a two-chamber mathematical model was used to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of drotaverine. Final T_1/2 plasma radioactivity was 16 hours.

T_1/2 it is 8-10 hours. Within 72 hours, drotaverine is almost completely eliminated from the body, more than 50% of drotaverine is excreted by the kidneys (mainly in the form of metabolites) and about 30% — through the intestine. Unchanged drotaverine is not detected in the urine.
