    In the last decade, developed countries have seen a steady increase in the prevalence of metabolic disorders. The most significant among them are obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Tirzepatide is an innovative drug, representing the first-in-class dual agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. Tirzepatide combines the action of two key incretin hormones, providing more comprehensive and effective regulation of glycemia and metabolism compared to traditional GLP-1 monoagonists. Tirzepatide was unavailable in Russia for a long time. However, in 2025, the first domestically produced tirzepatide drug, Tirzetta® (LLC “PROMMOMED RUS”), appeared. The aim. To conduct a comparative evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the reproduced drug Tirzetta® (INN: Tirzepatide, manufacturer LLC “PROMMOMED RUS”) and the reference drug Mounjaro® (INN: Tirzepatide, manufacturer “Eli Lilly”) in a mouse model with induced metabolic syndrome (MS). Materials and methods. The study was conducted on male mice of the C57BL/6 line. To metabolic syndrome (MS) was induced in animals with a diet high in fat and carbohydrates. Three batches of Tirzetta® and one series of Munjaro® were investigated. The drugs were administered at a dosage of 150 µg/kg subcutaneously once every three days for 15 days. During the experiment, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity tests were performed. The type of metabolism was determined by indirect calorimetry data. Mice were euthanized on 25th day for humane reasons upon reaching any of the following criteria: body weight loss of more than 15% in a week; serious injuries (fractures, amputations, etc.), appearance of non-healing wounds; seizures; unconscious state. A complete blood count was performed, and the following parameters were determined: glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, AST, ALT. Necropsy was performed after euthanasia. During necropsy, the thoracic and abdominal organs of the animals were examined, and organs were dissected and weighed. Results. In the MS group animals, body weight increased to 39.5 ± 0.6 g compared to the control group (31.9 ± 0.6 g), representing a 24% increase. Significant hyperglycemia was recorded with a glucose concentration of 14.9 ± 2.7 mmol/L versus 6.1 ± 0.4 mmol/L in the control, as well as a pronounced decrease in glucose tolerance in the loading test. The investigated tirzepatide drugs demonstrated a pronounced hypophagic effect with a 26–28% reduction in body weight, normalization of glycemia with a 48–53% decrease in glucose concentration, and improvement in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Indirect calorimetry data indicated a decrease in the respiratory exchange ratio, suggesting lipolysis activation. A significant reduction in triglyceride content in blood serum and liver was revealed. The bioequivalence of the investigated drugs Tirzetta® and Mounjaro® was established in the experimental MS model in mice based on a set of therapeutic efficacy and safety indicators. Conclusion . Studies on an experimental model of induced MS in mice showed equivalent efficacy of Tirzetta® (INN: Tirzepatide, manufacturer LLC “PROMMOMED RUS”, Russia) and Mounjaro® (INN: Tirzepatide, manufacturer “Eli Lilly”, USA).

    The search for treatment methods for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is currently urgent. Therefore, the search for new therapeutic solutions, including the use of innovative drugs with pronounced anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regenerative properties that help prevent lung damage and minimize complications when used as part of combination therapy, is in high demand. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tyrosyl-D-alanyl-glycyl-phenylalanyl-leucyl-arginine succinate (Ambervin® Pulmo (AP), Promomed Rus LLC, Russia) in hospitalized patients with CAP. Methods. The study included 208 patients hospitalized with CAP and randomized into 2 groups. Along with standard therapy, patients in group 1 (n = 104) received tyrosyl-D-alanyl-glycyl-phenylalanyl-leucyl-arginine succinate by inhalation for 10 days at a dose of 11.6 mg once daily; group 2 (n = 104) received placebo by inhalation once daily. The prescribed therapy was assessed according to primary and secondary efficacy and safety endpoints. Results. Clinical cure by Visit 5 (day 10) was observed in 57 (54.81%) of 104 patients receiving AP (Group 1) and in 35 (36.08%) of 97 patients in the placebo group. The mean time (± SD, per day) to achieving the criteria of clinical stability or discharge from the hospital was 2.54 ± 0.89 days in the AP group and 3.38 ± 1.64 days in the placebo group. Statistically significant advantages of AP over placebo in other secondary endpoints also indicate the high efficacy of the therapy. The analysis demonstrated a favorable safety profile of the study drug. No new data on the safety of AP that would affect the change in its safety profile were identified. Conclusion. In patients receiving tyrosyl-D-alanylglycyl-phenylalanyl-leucyl-arginine succinate, compared to the placebo group, body temperature normalized as early as the third day of therapy, and the symptoms improved, including cough, sputum production, headache, weakness, night sweats, and chills. The use of AP was associated with reduced need for antibacterial medications and lower risk of developing complications of CAP. The results of the clinical trial demonstrated the clinical efficacy and pharmacoeconomic feasibility of hexapeptide succinate therapy.

    The aim. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of molnupiravir compared to placebo in patients with influenza and/or ARVI.Materials and methods. The study involved 300 patients. The study included patients aged 18 to 80 years with clinical signs of influenza/ARVI (duration no more than 48 hours): elevated body temperature ≥37.5℃ and the presence of at least 2 symptoms of moderate severity (chills, headache, myalgia, sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, cough, with laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of influenza/ARVI at the time of screening), meeting the selection criteria for the study. Group 1 (n=150) received the investigational medicine molnupiravir (Esperavir®, Promomed Rus LLC, Russia) 800 mg (4 capsules) 2 times/day (daily dose 1600 mg) for 5 days; Group 2 (n=150) received placebo 4 capsules 2 times/day for 5 days, then patient observation was carried out until day 14 (4 visits after screening). The effectiveness of therapy was assessed according to primary and secondary efficacy criteria. The primary efficacy criterion was the time (in days) to clinical recovery. Safety was assessed by considering the number and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). For the analysis of qualitative indicators, an intergroup comparison of proportions was performed using a two-sided version of Fisher's exact test, or the χ2 ("chi-square") test. For quantitative indicators — using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. Differences were considered statistically significant at p <0.05.Results. According to the results of the assessment of the primary efficacy criterion, it was shown that molnupiravir therapy statistically significantly reduces the time to clinical recovery compared with placebo (p=0.000039). According to secondary efficacy criteria, a statistically significant advantage of therapy with the investigational medicine compared with placebo was also demonstrated in terms of the frequency of patients who achieved clinical recovery at Visits 2 and 3 p=0.0110, p=0.0070), the frequency of virus elimination. Even on the 3rd day of therapy, the frequency of virus elimination in the investigational drug group was 64.7% compared with 40% in the placebo group (p<0.0001). Statistically significant differences were also shown between the groups in the frequency of patients with the development of ARVI/influenza complications (bronchitis, acute sinusitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, tracheitis, tracheobronchitis) by Visits 2–4 (Day 3–14) (p<0.0001), which proves the validity of using targeted antiviral therapy in relation to achieving surrogate therapy endpoints. Therapy with the investigational medicine was characterized by a favorable safety profile. The registered AEs in the molnupiravir and placebo groups belong to the category of expected and did not require drug withdrawal. No SAEs were observed during the study.Conclusion. As a result of the phase III clinical study, the efficacy of molnupiravir (Esperavir®, Promomed Rus LLC, Russia) in the treatment of influenza and/or ARVI and the prevention of the risk of developing complications compared with placebo was proven: patients achieved clinical recovery as early as on the 3rd day of therapy. A favorable safety profile was shown, corresponding to the general characteristics of the medicine.

    Introduction. Quinazoline derivatives have a wide range of pharmacological properties, which makes this group quite unique among other classes of heterocyclic compounds. Substance VMA-10-18, which has cerebrovasodilating, antidepressant, anxiolytic and nootropic properties, may become a promising new drug. In this regard, an urgent task is to develop methods for standardizing this substance.Aim. Development of a method for the quantitation of related impurities of a new biologically active substance VMA-10-18 (Quinazophene) by HPLC with subsequent statistical processing of the results.Materials and methods. To develop the conditions for chromatographic analysis, was used a highly purified substance 3-[2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl]-quinazolin-4(3H)-one, as well as its related impurities: impurity I (unsubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one) and impurity II (4-methoxychloroacetanilide). Test solutions were prepared using volumetric glassware of accuracy class 1. Ethyl alcohol 95 % was used as a solvent. Chromatography was performed using a Dionex UltiMate 3000 system (Dionex, United States) with a spectrophotometric detector. The analysis was carried out at a wavelength of 231 nm. Data collection and processing was carried out using the Chromeleon v.7 system. A mixture of acetonitrile and orthophosphoric acid was used as a mobile phase. The analysis was performed in an isocratic mode. The validation of the developed method was carried out taking into account the requirements of the State Pharmacopeia of Russian Federation XIV edition and the recommendations of the ICH.Results and discussion. The optimal conditions for chromatography of the VMA-10-18 substance and its impurities have been developed. It was found that for a clear separation of the peaks of the substance and impurities among themselves, the mobile phase should contain acetonitrile and orthophosphoric acid in a ratio of 80 : 20. The specificity of the method was determined by chromatography of ethyl alcohol in order to exclude its influence on the analysis results. The linearity and correctness of the method were determined at 7 levels of concentration of impurities of the substance. The correlation coefficient has exceeded 0.99. Also, the free term of the linear dependence equation (a) for both impurities was less than its confidence interval (Δа), which proves the absence of a systematic error of the method. When determining the "Convergence" indicator, the calculated relative standard deviation did not exceed 2 %. When determining the intralaboratory precision, Student's t-test and Fisher's F-test were calculated. Both indicators met the stated requirements.Conclusion. A method for the quantitative determination of impurities in the VMA-10-18 substance by HPLC has been developed and validated.
