Angiomax ® Data sheet Page 1 NEW ZEALAND DATA SHEET ANGIOMAX NAME OF THE MEDICINE Angiomax ® (bivalirudin) Powder for Injection 250 mg and 100 mg (lyophilised product). DESCRIPTION Angiomax ® (bivalirudin) is a specific and reversible direct thrombin inhibitor. Bivalirudin is a synthetic, 20 amino acid residue peptide. Its chemical name is D-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl-L- arginyl-L-prolyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycyl-L-asparagyl-glycyl-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanyl- L-glutamyl-L-glutamyl-L-isoleucyl-L-prolyl-L-glutamyl-L-glutamyl-L-tyrosyl-L-leucine (Figure 1). Its molecular weight is 2180 daltons. The substance isolated from the synthesis and used in the manufacture of Angiomax ® is bivalirudin trifluoroacetate (salt) hydrate. Angiomax ® is supplied in single-use vials as a white lyophilised cake, which is sterile. Each vial contains either: 250 mg bivalirudin present as bivalirudin trifluoroacetate (salt) hydrate and 125 mg mannitol; or 100 mg bivalirudin present as bivalirudin trifluoroacetate (salt) hydrate and 50 mg mannitol. Both presentations also contain sodium hydroxide. When reconstituted with Water for Injections the product yields a clear to opalescent, colourless to slightly yellow solution, pH 5 to 6. FIGURE 1.

Thrombin is a serine proteinase that plays a central role in the thrombotic process. It acts to cleave fibrinogen into fibrin monomers and activates Factor XIII to Factor XIIIa, allowing fibrin to develop a covalently cross-linked framework which stabilises the thrombus. Thrombin also activates Factors V and VIII, promoting further thrombin generation, and activates platelets, stimulating aggregation and granule release. The bin Прочетете целия документ
