Emoxypine, also known as Mexidol, is a bioactive compound originally synthesized in the Research Institute of Pharmacology in Russia, it functions as an antioxidant which resembles pyridoxine, also known as vitamin b6. Emoxypine features an impressive array of mechanisms including cerebral blood flow enhancement, anxiety reduction, anti-stress, anti-seizure, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotection. Emoxypine’s ability to increase GABA sensitivity and its multitude of anti-inflammatory properties are thought to be responsible for its anxiolytic action. PMID: 25894772PMID: 11544797
