Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Trimebutin, acting on the intestinal enkephalinergic system, is a regulator of its peristalsis. Acting on peripheral δ-, μ- and k- receptors, including those located directly on smooth muscle throughout the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), it regulates motility without affecting the central nervous system. Thus, trimebutin restores the normal physiological activity of intestinal muscles in various gastrointestinal diseases associated with impaired motor skills.
By normalizing visceral sensitivity, trimebutin provides an analgesic effect in abdominal pain.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, trimebutin is rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract. The maximum concentration (C max ) in blood plasma is reached after 1-2 hours. Bioavailability is 4-6%. Distribution volume (V d ) - 88 l. The degree of binding to plasma proteins is low - about 5%. Trimebutin to a small extent penetrates the placental barrier. Trimebutin is biotransformed in the liver and excreted in the urine mainly in the form of metabolites (approximately 70% during the first 24 hours). The half-life (T 1/2 ) is about 12 hours.
