How it works
1. Mecobalamin is the one and only homologue of Vitamin B12 found in the brain that participates in transmethylation. Mecobalamin is well transported to nerve cell organelles than cyanocobalamin and plays the role of coenzyme in the synthesis of methionine from homocysteine. It is also involved in the synthesis of thymidine from deoxyuridine thus promoting nucleic acid protein synthesis.2. Mecobalamin normalizes axonal transport of skeletal protein in sciatic nerve cells. It exhibits neuropathologically and electrophysiologically inhibitory effects on nerve degeneration in neuropathies induced by drugs such as adriamycin, acrylamide and vincristine.
