PI0061-07 1 PERSANTIN SR (DIPYRIDAMOLE) NAME OF THE MEDICINE Approved Name: Dipyridamole Chemical Name: 2,6-bis(diethanolamino)-4,8-dipiperidino-pyrimido[5,4-d]-pyrimidine CAS No: 58-32-2 Laboratory Code: R-A 8-BS Molecular Formula: C 24 H 40 N 8 O 4 Molecular Weight: 504.6 Structural Formula: DESCRIPTION Dipyridamole is an odourless, yellow crystalline powder with a bitter taste. It has a melting point in the range of 164-168 C, and is soluble in dilute acids, methanol, ethanol and chloroform. The inactive ingredients in PERSANTIN SR 200 mg sustained-release capsules are: tartaric acid, povidone, methacrylic acid copolymer (Eudragit S 100), talc, acacia, hypromellose, hypromellose phthalate, glycerol triacetate, dimethicone 350, stearic acid, gelatin, titanium dioxide, iron oxide red CI77491 and iron oxide yellow CI77492. PHARMACOLOGY PERSANTIN SR has an antithrombotic action based on its ability to modify various aspects of platelet function. It causes inhibition of platelet adhesion and aggregation, particularly in diseased states where platelet stickiness is above normal, and lengthens abnormally shortened platelet survival time. These actions are useful in limiting the initiation of thrombus formation. PI0061-07 2 The mechanism of antiplatelet action is believed to be related to inhibition of the uptake of adenosine by red blood cells and platelets; weak inhibition of cAMP phosphodiesterase which potentiates the aggregation-inhibiting effects of adenosine on platelets; and inhibition of cGMP phosphodiesterase which potentiates the anti-aggregating effects of EDRF Lire le document complet
