Ambroxol has recently been shown to increase activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Because of this it may be a useful therapeutic agent for both Gaucher disease and Parkinson's disease. [14] It was also recently shown that ambroxol triggers exocytosis of lysosomes by releasing calcium from acidic cellular calcium stores.

The ATC classification system is a strict hierarchy, [5] meaning that each code necessarily has one and only one parent code, except for the 14 codes at the topmost level which have no parents. The codes are semantic identifiers, [ 5 ] meaning they depict information by themselves beyond serving as identifiers (namely, the codes depict ...
A drug class is a group of medications and other compounds that share similar chemical structures, act through the same mechanism of action (i.e., binding to the same biological target), have similar modes of action, and/or are used to treat similar diseases.
According to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) drug substances are classified to four classes upon their solubility and permeability: [1] Class I – high permeability, high solubility. Example: metoprolol, paracetamol [2] Those compounds are well absorbed and their absorption rate is usually higher than excretion.
