Properties:
Armodafinil is the (R)-enantiomer of modafinil, which is a 1:1 mixture of the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers. Armodafinil is an indirect dopamine receptor agonist. Armodafinil binds to the dopamine transporter and inhibits dopamine reuptake. The mechanism by which armodafinil maintains wakefulness is unknown. The pharmacological properties of armodafinil are similar to those of modafinil. In addition to the effect of wakefulness and increased locomotor activity in animals, armodafinil can have a psychoactive effect and cause a state of euphoria, changes in mood, feelings, thinking and emotions, characteristic of other CNS stimulants in humans.
Indications:
– maintenance of the state of wakefulness in patients with OSAHS as an adjunct to therapy by the method of creating a constant positive airway pressure (CPAP-therapy);
– treatment of excessive drowsiness associated with HNSBP, when the use of non-pharmacological interventions is unsuccessful or impractical;
– maintaining a state of wakefulness in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy.
