Effect on the body
Tissue repair stimulator.
Pharmacokinetics
Glucosamine
Absorption. The bioavailability of glucosamine when taken orally is 25% (the “first pass” effect through the liver).
Metabolism. After absorption of an oral dose, radiolabeled glucosamine is initially detected in the plasma and later penetrates into tissues. The highest concentrations are found in the liver, kidneys and articular cartilage. About 30% of the dose taken persists for a long time in the tissues of bones and muscles.
Elimination. It is excreted primarily by the kidneys unchanged; partly through the intestines. The half-life of the drug is 68 hours.
Chondroitin sulfate
Absorption. When chondroitin sulfate is taken orally in a single dose of 0.8 g (or 2 times a day 0.4 g), the plasma concentration increases over 24 hours. The absolute bioavailability is 12%.
Metabolism. Metabolized by desulfurization.
Elimination. Excreted by the kidneys. Half-life 310 min.

Glucosamine
Suction
After oral administration of 14C-labeled glucosamine, it is rapidly and almost completely absorbed, with about 90% of the radioactive tracer being detected in the systemic circulation. The absolute bioavailability of glucosamine in humans after oral administration was 44%, including the first-pass effect. After daily oral administration of glucosamine at a dose of 1500 mg to healthy volunteers under fasting conditions, Cmax in plasma at steady state averaged after 3 hours (Tmax) about 1602 ± 426 ng/ml. At steady state, AUC was 14564±4138 ng×h/ml. It is unknown whether food intake has a significant effect on oral bioavailability. The pharmacokinetics of glucosamine are linear in the dose range of 750-1500 mg with deviation from linearity at a dose of 3000 mg due to lower bioavailability. There are no gender differences in the absorption and bioavailability of glucosamine. The pharmacokinetics of glucosamine were similar in healthy volunteers and patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Distribution
After oral absorption, glucosamine is distributed in various vascular compartments, incl. synovial fluid, with an apparent Vd 37 times higher than the total fluid volume in humans. Glucosamine does not bind to plasma proteins. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that glucosamine is capable of drug interactions when taken together with other drugs that have a high degree of binding to plasma proteins.
Metabolism
The metabolic profile of glucosamine has not been studied, since being an endogenous substance, it is used as a “building material” for the biosynthesis of articular components of cartilage. Glucosamine is primarily metabolized by conversion to hexosamine, independent of the cytochrome system. Does not act as an inhibitor or inducer of human CYP450 isoenzymes, including CYP3A4, 1A2, 2E1, 2C9 and 2D6.00. There were no clinically significant interactions between glucosamine and other drugs that could occur through inhibition and/or induction of human CYP450 isoforms.
Removal
In humans, T1/2 of glucosamine from plasma is 15 hours. After oral administration of 14C-labeled glucosamine, excretion in urine was 10±9%, in feces - 11.3±0.1% of the administered dose. The average excretion of unchanged glucosamine after oral administration in humans is approximately 1% of the administered dose, suggesting that the kidney and liver do not play a significant role in the elimination of glucosamine, its metabolites and/or its degradation products.
Pharmacokinetics in special groups of patients
Pharmacokinetic studies of glucosamine have not been conducted in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. These studies were considered inappropriate due to the insignificant contribution of the liver and kidneys to the metabolism, degradation and excretion of glucosamine. Therefore, given the favorable safety profile and good tolerability of glucosamine, dosage adjustment of the drug is not required in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.
The pharmacokinetics of glucosamine have not been studied in children and adolescents.
Pharmacokinetic studies have not been conducted in elderly patients, however, clinical trials of the effectiveness and safety of glucosamine included mainly elderly patients. It has been shown that there is no need for dose adjustment in this category of patients.
Chondroitin sulfate
Pharmacokinetics have not been studied.
Clinical pharmacology
Stimulates the regeneration of cartilage tissue. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate take part in the synthesis of connective tissue, helping to prevent cartilage destruction and stimulate tissue regeneration. Administration of exogenous glucosamine enhances the production of cartilage matrix and provides nonspecific protection against chemical damage to cartilage. Another possible effect of glucosamine is the protection of damaged cartilage from metabolic destruction caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticosteroids (GCs), as well as its own moderate anti-inflammatory effect.
Chondroitin sulfate serves as an additional substrate for the formation of a healthy cartilage matrix. Stimulates the formation of hyaluronon, the synthesis of proteoglycans and type II collagen, and also protects hyaluronon from enzymatic breakdown (by suppressing the activity of hyaluronidase); maintains the viscosity of synovial fluid, stimulates cartilage repair mechanisms and inhibits the activity of those enzymes that break down cartilage (elastase, hyaluronidase). In the treatment of osteoarthritis, it relieves the symptoms of the disease and reduces the need for NSAIDs.

- Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have a chondroprotective effect, taking part in the processes of natural restoration of cartilage tissue that is subject to wear due to physical activity or under the influence of pathological processes. Glucosamine enhances the synthesis of type II collagen, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. Chondroitin sulfate has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, promotes active regeneration of cartilage.
- B vitamins are cofactors of enzymes involved in the production of energy in the cell, without which its normal functioning is impossible. Strengthen the chondroprotective effect of glucosamine and chondroitin.
Vitamin B3 deficiency is associated with the development of osteoarthritis, including in the spinal joints. Vitamin B3 plays a critical role in metabolic processes and tissue respiration.With a deficiency of vitamin B1, the activity of various parts of the nervous system and skeletal muscles is disrupted. Vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride) plays a key role in carbohydrate metabolism and energy generation processes in the body's cells. The addition of vitamin B1 to the complex of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate enhances their chondroprotective effect.
Vitamin B5 plays a key role in providing energy to cells.
Vitamin B6 is necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters and supports metabolic processes in nervous tissue.
Vitamins B1 and B6 potentiate each other's effects, which is manifested in a positive effect on the nervous, muscular and cardiovascular systems.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is involved in the synthesis of the myelin sheath of nerve cells, stimulates hematopoiesis, reduces pain associated with damage to the peripheral nervous system, regulates nucleic acid metabolism in synergism with sfolic acid.
