Description

Pharmacological properties.
Caffeine sodium benzoate is primarily used as a central nervous system stimulant. The mechanism of action is based on caffeine’s inhibition of the enzyme phosphodiesterase, which leads to the accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) inside cells. cAMP enhances glycogenolysis and stimulates metabolism in organs and tissues, including the central nervous system and muscles. An important part of the stimulant effect mechanism is caffeine binding to purine receptors in the brain. Caffeine enhances and regulates excitation processes in the cerebral cortex, strengthens positive reflexes, and increases motor activity. These effects are dose-dependent, contributing to improved mental and physical performance, and reduction of fatigue and drowsiness. In excessively high doses, caffeine can cause depletion of nerve cells. The drug increases reflex excitability of the spinal cord and stimulates the respiratory and vasomotor centers. Under the drug’s influence, cardiac activity is enhanced and heart rate increases.
