Product Intro

Ambroxol Hydrochloride is also known as hydrochloric acid bromine cyclohexylamine alcohol. Its chemical name is trans-4-[(2-amino-3, 5-dibromo-benzyl) amino] cyclohexanol hydrochloride, it is the active metabolite of the expectorants bromhexine (N-demethylation, a trans-hydroxy group has been introduced into the para position of cyclohexyl group) with its toxicity being lower than bromhexine but the activity being higher than bromhexine. Ambroxol hydrochloride is a kind of grume dissolving agent developed by the Boehringer Ingelheim Company (Germany), and had first entered into market in Germany in the early 1980s. It has been subsequently approved for entering into France, Italy, Japan, Spain and many other countries. As a new generation of sputum dissolving agent, it can improve the expectoration, and has effect on promoting the secretion of the lung surfactant and airway as well as the ciliary movement. Clinically it can be used for adjusting the secretion of grume and pulp, activation of swing of the ciliary. It can make it easy for sputum dissolution, strengthen the outward transport of sputum and make it easy for being discharged. It can also promote the biosynthesis of lung surfactant and maintain the tension of the alveoli and the functional parameter of the lung function; promote the antibiotics to penetrate through the tissues, increase their concentrations and enhance the bactericidal effect; it has antioxidant effect and can reduce the release of inflammatory mediators and reduce the inflammation reaction; it also has synergistic effect with bronchial spasmolysis and improve the efficacy of the antispasmodic drugs. Therefore, this drug can be clinically widely applied to the acute and chronic respiratory disorders accompanied with abnormal secretion of respiratory tract, especially to the expectorant treatment of chronic bronchitis, respiratory distress syndrome of newborns and the adjuvant therapy of the lung surgery. It has advantages such as low toxicity, accurate efficacy and excellent synergisti

Function

Ambroxol hydrochloride is a medication indicated to alleviate chest congestion associated with conditions that include bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchospasm asthma, cough, and allergy. Preclinically, ambroxol, the active ingredient of Mucosolvan, has been shown to increase respiratory tract secretion. It enhances pulmonary surfactant production and stimulates ciliary activity.

Application

1. The role of relieving cough and reducing sputum Ambroxol hydrochloride majorly take effect on the respiratory secretory cells, regulating the secretion of mucous and serous substance, increasing the slurry secretion, degrading the polysaccharide fibers of the acidic glycoprotein in the sputum, inhibiting the synthesis of the acidic protein in the mucous glands and goblet cells, reducing the viscosity of sputum, making the sputum thin and be easy to be discharged; meanwhile, the drug may also increase the frequency of respiratory cilia movement and strength and promote the mucus discharge and respiratory self-purification. 2. Antioxidant effect Ambroxol hydrochloride has a significant antioxidant effect and can have a significant effect on the reactivity of the free oxygen radicals associated with the lung disease lesions. Studies have shown that ambroxol has strong inhibitory effect on the H2O2 produced by the neutrophils; in addition, ambroxol can also activate the intracellular glutathione system, promote the biosynthesis of the intracellular glutathione (GSH), thereby causing damaging effects on the oxygen free radicals.
