Methylcobalamin Injection
Function and Efficacy
Pharmacology (1) Methylcobalamin is an endogenous coenzyme B12. It plays an important role as a coenzyme of methionine synthase in the transmethylation reaction of homocysteine to methionine. (2) Methylcobalamin is easily transferred to the organelles of nerve cells, thereby promoting the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Methylcobalamin is more easily transferred into the organelles of rat nerve cells than cyanocobalamin. In experiments on mouse brain cells and spinal cord nerve cells, it participates in the process of synthesizing thymidine from deoxyuridine, promoting the utilization of folic acid and the metabolism of nucleic acids. Moreover, methylcobalamin can promote the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in rats more than cobalamin. (3) Promotes intra-axonal transport and axonal regeneration. It can normalize the transport of axonal structural proteins in the sciatic nerve cells of rats with diabetes caused by streptozotocin. In the drug-induced neurological disorders (rat and rabbit) caused by doxorubicin, acrylamide, and vincristine, as well as the axonal degeneration mouse model, the neurological disorders of naturally occurring diabetic rats can inhibit the appearance of degenerated nerves in neuropathology and electrophysiology. (4) Promote the formation of myelin (phospholipid synthesis). Compared with adenosylcobalamin, it can promote the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the main structure of myelin, thereby improving the formation of myelin (rat). (5) Restore the transmission delay of synapses and the reduction of neurotransmitters. In the experiment of sciatic nerve scraping, it increases the excitation of nerve fibers and thus restores the induction of terminal potential (rat). In addition, it can normalize the low amount of acetylcholine in the brain of rats fed with choline-deficient bait. (6) Promote the maturation and division of erythroblasts and improve anemia. Vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to megaloblastic anemia. This drug promotes the synthesis of nucleic acids in the bone marrow and the maturation and division of erythroblasts, increasing the production of red blood cells. This drug can quickly restore the red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit values of rats that were reduced due to B12 deficiency. Toxicology 1. Acute toxicity LD50 (mg/kg) Animal species Mouse Rat Rabbit Dog Administration route Oral 1000500 Intravenous injection 66633360200 2. Subacute toxicity Dogs were intravenously injected for 90 days at 0.5, 5.0 and 50.0 mg/kg/day. In each administration group, there were no special changes in general symptoms, body weight, blood and organ weights. In pathological histological examination, microscopic observation revealed that the eosinophilic granules increased in the epithelial cells of the proximal urinary tubules of the kidneys at a dose of 50.0 mg/kg, and an increase in lysosomes was found by electron microscopy. There were no changes in other organs. 3. Chronic toxicity: Dogs were intravenously injected with 0.5, 5.0, and 50.0 mg/kg/day for 12 months. In each administration group, there was no change in general symptoms, body weight, blood and organ weight. In pathological histological examination, microscopic observation revealed that eosinophilic granules increased in the epithelial cells of the proximal urinary tubules of the kidneys at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg or more. Electron microscopic observation revealed an increase in lysosomes. In the 50.0 mg/kg test, an increase in lysosomes in the glomerular mesangial cells and Kupffer cells in the liver were found. 4. Reproductive test: In rats, intravenous injection of 0.5, 5.0, and 50.0 mg/kg/day before and during early pregnancy, organ formation, perinatal period, and lactation period, showed no abnormalities or teratogenic effects on the fetuses and newborns.

In experiments on brain cells and spinal cord nerve cells of mice, it participates in the process of synthesizing thymidine from deoxyuridine, promotes the utilization of folic acid and the metabolism of nucleic acids. It can promote the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in rats better than cobalamin. It promotes axonal transport and axonal regeneration. It can normalize the transport of axonal structural proteins in the sciatic nerve cells of diabetic rats caused by streptozotocin. It has a positive effect on the drug-induced neuropathy and axonal degeneration mouse models caused by doxorubicin, acrylamide, and vincristine, and the naturally occurring diabetic rats. It can inhibit the occurrence of degenerated nerves in the neuropathology and electrophysiology of rats with neurological disorders; promote the formation of myelin sheath (phospholipid synthesis), and can promote the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the main structure of myelin sheath, more than adenosylcobalamin, thereby improving the formation of myelin sheath; restore the transmission delay of synapses and the reduction of neurotransmitters. In the experiment of scraped sciatic nerve, it can restore the induction of terminal potential by increasing the excitation of nerve fibers, and can also normalize the low amount of acetylcholine in the brain of rats fed with choline-deficient bait; promote the maturation and division of erythrocytes, and improve the anemic blood picture. Vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to megaloblastic anemia. This drug promotes the synthesis of nucleic acids and the maturation and division of erythrocytes in the bone marrow, increases the production of red blood cells, and can quickly restore the red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit values of rats that are reduced due to B12 deficiency.
