Feature:
Glucosamine sulfate is a natural component of articular cartilage, physiologically present in the human body. Is an aminosaccharide with a low molecular weight, has been cleaned from macromolecular components.
Pharmacological action:
Fills deficit endogenous glucosamine sulfate. Glucosamine stimulates chondrocyte synthesis of proteoglycans (glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid) synovial fluid inhibits the enzymes (collagenase, phospholipase A2, etc.) that cause destruction of cartilage prevents the formation of superoxide radicals, inhibits the activity of lysosomal enzymes initiates the process of fixation of sulfur in the synthesis chondroitinase acid and promotes normal deposition of calcium in bone tissue prevents the damaging action of corticosteroids on chondrocytes and impaired synthesis of glycosaminoglycans induced by NSAIDs.
Sulfonate groups also participate in the synthesis and metabolism of glycosaminoglycans of cartilage and solitaire side chains composed of proteoglycans, contributing to the retention of water in maintaining the elasticity of cartilage matrix.
Glucosamine sulfate stops the destruction of cartilage and reduce symptoms in osteoarthritis.
Pharmacokinetics:
Quickly and completely absorbed in the small intestine. After the/m introduction and ingestion easily overcome biological barriers and penetrates the tissues, mainly articular cartilage. T1/2 of 68 h
Description pharmacological action:
