Pharmacological effect Oftan Catachrom
the action of a combined drug aimed at improving energy metabolism in the lens of the eye.
Cytochrome C is an important component in the electron transport chain, which promotes energy production in cells and protects eyeball tissue from oxidative stress by acting as an antioxidant.
Adenosine is a key molecule in metabolism that transforms to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which serves as a major source of energy for cells, including the cells of the lens.
Nicotinamide plays an important role in metabolism, as it promotes the synthesis of nicotinamide dinucleotide (NADH), a cofactor for many essential dehydrogenases that are involved in redox reactions and energy production.This drug may be effective in maintaining lens health and preventing various eye diseases such as cataracts by improving cellular metabolism and protective mechanisms.
