Mexidol is a relatively new compound whose chemical structure is closely related to that of pyridoxine, aka vitamin B6. After being first synthesized by L.D Smirnov and K.M Dumanyev at the Russian Institute of Biochemical Physics in the 1980s, the pharmaceutical properties of emoxypine has been the subject of several studies, and whereas it is already distributed in the Russian Federation, Georgia, and Peru under the tradename of Mexidol or Meloxicam, emoxypine is still widely unknown in other countries and is not approved by either the FDA or the EMA.
