Integrilin Online, Description, Chemistry, Ingredients - Eptifibatide
DESCRIPTION
Eptifibatide is a cyclic
heptapeptide containing
six amino acids and one mercaptopropionyl (des-amino cysteinyl) residue.
An interchain disulfide bridge
is formed between the cysteine amide
and the mercaptopropionyl moieties. Chemically it is N
6
-(aminoiminomethyl)-N
2 -(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl-L-lysylglycyl-L-a-aspartyl-L-tryptophyl-L
-prolyl-L-cysteinamide, cyclic
(1Ø6)-disulfide. Eptifibatide binds to the platelet
receptor glycoprotein
(GP) IIb/IIIa of human platelets
and inhibits platelet
aggregation. The eptifibatide peptide
is produced by solution-phase peptide
synthesis, and is purified by preparative reverse-phase liquid
chromatography
and lyophilized.
INTEGRILIN (eptifibatide) Injection is a clear, colorless, sterile,
non-pyrogenic solution
for intravenous
(IV) use. Each 10-mL vial
contains 2 mg/mL of eptifibatide and each 100-mL vial
contains 0.75 mg/mL of eptifibatide. Each vial
of either size also contains 5.25 mg/mL citric acid
and sodium hydroxide
to adjust the pH to 5.25.
