Angivent ® MR Trimetazidine Antianginal
PRESENTATION :
Angivent® MR tablet : Each modified release tablet contains Trimetazidine Hydrochloride BP 35 mg .
DESCRIPTION:
Mechanism of Action: Trimetazidine Hydrochloride has been proven to exert antianginal properties due to its specific metabolic mechanism of action. Indeed, Trimetazidine
Hydrochloride reduces the metabolic damage caused during ischemia, by acting on a critical step in cardiac metabolism: fatty acid β – oxidation. This is made possible by selective inhibition of an enzyme of fatty acid β – oxidation: the long – chain 3 – ketoacyl CoA thiol ase (3 – KAT). This inhibition results in reduction in fatty acid oxidation & stimulation of glucose oxidation. Thus, the coupling of glycolysis with glucose oxidation is improved, and ATP production is further increased, while the deleterious consequences of acidosis and of Ca 2+ overload
are limited. Under ischemic conditions, Trimetazidine Hydrochloride optimizes cardiac metabolism through a metabolic switch from fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation. This supports the anti – ischemic benefits of
Trimetazidine Hydrochloride .
