PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Penicillamine tablets are indicated in the treatment of Wilson's disease, cystinuria, and in patients with severe, active rheumatoid arthritis who have failed to respond to an adequate trial of conventional therapy. Available evidence suggests that penicillamine tablets are not of value in ankylosing spondylitis. Wilson's disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) results from the interaction of an inherited defect and an abnormality in copper metabolism. The metabolic defect, which is the consequence of the autosomal inheritance of one abnormal gene from each parent, manifests itself in a greater positive copper balance than normal. As a result, copper is deposited in several organs and appears eventually to produce pathologic effects most prominently seen in the brain, where degeneration is widespread; in the liver, where fatty infiltration, inflammation, and hepatocellular damage progress to postnecrotic cirrhosis; in the kidney, where tubular and glomerular dysfunction results; and in the eye, where characte

Abbreviated New Drug Application
PENICILLAMINE - PENICILLAMINE TABLET LUPIN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. ---------- PENICILLAMINE TABLETS, USP (TITRATABLE TABLETS Physicians planning to use penicillamine should thoroughly familiarize themselves with its toxicity, special dosage considerations, and therapeutic benefits. Penicillamine should never be used casually. Each patient should remain constantly under the close supervision of the physician. Patients should be warned to report promptly any symptoms suggesting toxicity. DESCRIPTION Penicillamine is 3-mercapto-D-valine, a disease modifying antirheumatic drug. It is a white or practically white, crystalline powder, freely soluble in water; slightly soluble in alcohol, insoluble in chloroform, ether, acetone, benzene and carbon tetrachloride. Although its configuration is D, it is levorotatory as usually measured: The empirical formula is C H NO S, giving it a molecular weight of 149.21. The structural formula is: It reacts readily with formaldehyde or acetone to form a thiazolidine-carboxylic acid. Penicillamine tablets, USP (Titratable Tablets) for oral administration contain 250 mg of penicillamine. Other ingredients (inactive): anhydrous lactose, corn starch, edetate disodium, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol and povidone. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Penicillamine is a chelating agent recommended for the removal of excess copper in patients with Wilson's disease. From _in vitro_ studies which indicate that one atom of copper combines with two molecules of penicillamine, it would appear that one gram of 5 11 2 penicillamine should be followed by the excretion of about 200 milligrams of copper; however, the actual amount excreted is about one percent of this. Penicillamine also reduces excess cystine excretion in cystinuria. This is done, at least in part, by disulfide interchange between penicillamine and cystine, resulting in formation of penicillamine-cysteine disulfide, a substance that is much more soluble than cystine and is excreted readily.
