Lepirudin is indicated for anticoagulation in adult patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) such as unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction without ST elevation. In patients with ACS, lepirudin is intended for use with [aspirin].[L41539] Lepirudin is also indicated for anticoagulation in patients with hepa...
Lepirudin is a recombinant hirudin that acts as a highly specific thrombin inhibitor. Its activity is measured by anti-thrombin units (ATUs) that correspond to the amount of lepirudin required to neutralize a unit of the World Health Organization α-thrombin (89/588) standard. The activity of lepirudin is 16,000 ATU/mg....
Lepirudin is a direct thrombin inhibitor used as an anticoagulant in patients for whom heparin is contraindicated.[L41539,A3] Thrombin is a serine protease that participates in the blood-clotting cascade, and it is formed by the cleavage of pro-thrombin. Active thrombin cleaves fibrinogen and generates fibrin monomers ...
Lepirudin administered as a single intravenous bolus injection of 0.4 mg/kg in 9 healthy volunteers (male and female) resulted in a C<sub>max</sub> of 2924 ng/mL, a t<sub>max</sub> of 0.17 h and an AUC<sub>0-∞</sub> of 2500 ng•h/mL.[L41539] When 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mg/kg of lepirudin was administered as a single intraven...
As a polypeptide, lepirudin is expected to be metabolized by the sequential cleavage of amino acids by kidney exoproteases, which have carboxypeptidase and dipeptidase-like activity.[L41539,L41544] The C-terminal cleavage of lepirudin aminoacids (aminoacids 1 to 65) produces four metabolites with anti-thrombotic activi...
The acute toxicity of intravenous lepirudin was evaluated in mice (0.1-1000 mg/kg), rats (1-1000 mg/kg), and monkeys (1-100 mg/kg), and toxicity was not detected at the doses investigated.[L41539] The acute toxicity of lepirudin administered subcutaneously was also evaluated in mice (1-1250 mg/kg) and rats (1-500 mg/kg...
Lepirudin has an initial half-life of approximately 10 minutes, and in young healthy volunteers, it has a terminal half-time of 1.3 hours.[L41539] Lepirudin has a first-order elimination kinetic; plasma concentration increases proportionally as the lepirudin intravenous dose is increased. Elimination half-life values o...
In human plasma, the protein binding of lepirudin was approximately 3%.[L41539]
Lepirudin is mostly excreted through urine (48.3%). About 35% of lepirudin is excreted unchanged, while metabolites are found in a smaller proportion (2.5% of M1, 5.4% of M2, 3.9% of M3 and 1.6% of M4).[L41544]
The volume of distribution of lepirudin at steady state was 12.2 L in healthy young subjects (n=18, 18-60 years), 18.7 L in healthy elderly subjects (n=10, 65-80 years), 18.0 L in renally impaired subjects (n=16, creatinine clearance < 80 mL/min, and 32.1 L in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia patients (n=73).[L41539] T...
The clearance of lepirudin is proportional to the glomerular filtration rate. On average, lepirudin clearance was 164 mL/min in healthy young subjects (n=18, 18-60 years) and 25% lower in women than in men. In healthy elderly subjects (n=10, 65-80 years), clearance was 139 mL/min, about 20% lower than in younger patien...

Bivalirudin
Bivalirudin is a synthetic 20 residue peptide (thrombin inhibitor) which reversibly inhibits thrombin. Once bound to the active site, thrombin cannot activate fibrinogen into fibrin, the crucial step in the formation of thrombus. It is administered intravenously. Because it can cause blood stagnation, it is important t...
solid
For treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and for the prevention of thrombosis. Bivalirudin is indicated for use in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in patients at moderate to high risk acute coronary syndromes due to unstable angina or non-ST segment elevation in whom a PCI is plan...
Bivalirudin mediates an inhibitory action on thrombin by directly and specifically binding to both the catalytic site and anion-binding exosite of circulating and clot-bound thrombin. The action of bivalirudin is reversible because thrombin will slowly cleave the thrombin-bivalirudin bond which recovers the active site...
Inhibits the action of thrombin by binding both to its catalytic site and to its anion-binding exosite. Thrombin is a serine proteinase that plays a central role in the thrombotic process, acting to cleave fibrinogen into fibrin monomers and to activate Factor XIII to Factor XIIIa, allowing fibrin to develop a covalent...
Following intravenous administration, bivalirudin exhibits linear pharmacokinetics. The mean steady state concentration is 12.3 +/- 1.7mcg/mL after administration of an intravenous bolus of 1mg/kg followd by a 2.5mg/kg/hr intravenous infusion given over 4 hours.
80% proteolytic cleavage
Based on a study by Gleason et al., the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for bivalirudin, administered to rats via intravenous infusion over a 24-hour period, was 2000 mg/kg/24 h.
* Normal renal function: 25 min (in normal conditions) * Creatinine clearance 10-29mL/min: 57min * Dialysis-dependant patients: 3.5h
Other than thrombin and red blood cells, bivalirudin does not bind to plasma proteins.
Bivalirudin is cleared from plasma by a combination of renal mechanisms (20%) and proteolytic cleavage.

Leuprolide is indicated for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer [L13781, L34415] and as palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer.[L13790] It is also used for the treatment of pediatric patients with central precocious puberty (CPP).[L13784, L13787] In combination with oral [norethisterone] (also k...
Leuprolide is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue that functions as a GnRH receptor superagonist.[A203132, A203222] After an initial spike in GnRH-mediated steroidal production, including testosterone and estradiol, prolonged use results in a significant drop in circulating steroid levels, in line with tho...
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a naturally occurring decapeptide that modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. GnRH binds to corresponding receptors (GnRHRs) on the anterior pituitary gonadotropes, which in turn release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH); these, in...
Leuprolide is typically administered as a single-dose long-acting formulation employing either microsphere or biodegradable solid depot technologies.[A203126] Regardless of the exact formulation and initial dose strength, the C<sub>max</sub> is typically achieved by 4-5 hours post-injection and displays large variabili...
Radiolabeling studies suggest that leuprolide is primarily metabolized to inactive penta-, tri-, and dipeptide entities, which are likely further metabolized. It is expected that various peptidases encountered throughout systemic circulation are responsible for leuprolide metabolism.[L10310, L13781, L13784, L13787, L13...
Leuprolide is considered extremely safe, with low dose-related toxicity and comparatively mild adverse effects.[A203126] Prostate cancer patients treated with leuprolide at doses as high as 20 mg/day for two years showed no additional adverse effects compared to those receiving 1 mg/day.[L13814]
Leuprolide has a terminal elimination half-life of approximately three hours.[L10310, L13781, L13784, L13787, L13790, L13814, L34415]
Leuprolide displays _in vitro_ binding to human plasma proteins between 43% and 49%.[L10310, L13781, L13784, L13787, L13790, L13814, L34415]
Following administration of 3.75 mg leuprolide depot suspension to three patients, less than 5% of the initial dose was recovered as unchanged or pentapeptide metabolite in the urine.[L10310, L13781, L13784, L13814]

Reteplase
Human tissue plasminogen activator, purified, glycosylated, 355 residues purified from CHO cells. Retavase is considered a "third-generation" thrombolytic agent, genetically engineered to retain and delete certain portions of human tPA. Retavase is a deletion mutein of human tPA formed by deleting various amino acids p...
liquid
For lysis of acute pulmonary emboli, intracoronary emboli, and management of myocardial infarction.
Reteplase cleaves the Arg/Val bond in plasminogen to form plasmin. Plasmin in turn degrades the fibrin matrix of the thrombus, thereby exerting its thrombolytic action. This helps eliminate blood clots or arterial blockages that cause myocardial infarction.
Reteplase binds to fibrin rich clots via the fibronectin finger-like domain and the Kringle 2 domain. The protease domain then cleaves the Arg/Val bond in plasminogen to form plasmin. Plasmin in turn degrades the fibrin matrix of the thrombus, thereby exerting its thrombolytic action.

Erythropoietin
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a growth factor produced in the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells. It works by promoting the division and differentiation of committed erythroid progenitors in the bone marrow [FDA Label]. Epoetin alfa (Epoge) was developed by Amgen Inc. in 1983 as the first rhEPO commerc...
liquid
Indicated in adult and paediatric patients for the: - treatment of anemia due to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in patients on dialysis and not on dialysis. - treatment of anemia due to zidovudine in patients with HIV-infection. - treatment of anemia due to the effects of concomitant myelosuppressive chemotherapy,...
Erythropoietin and epoetin alfa are involved in the regulation of erythrocyte differentiation and the maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass. It is reported to increase the reticulocyte count within 10 days of initiation, followed by increases in the RBC count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, ...
Erythropoietin or exogenous epoetin alfa binds to the erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) and activates intracellular signal transduction pathways [A33079]. The affinity (Kd) of EPO for its receptor on human cells is ∼100 to 200 pM [A33080]. Upon binding to EPO-R on the surface of erythroid progenitor cells, a conformation...
The time to reach peak concentration is slower via the subcutaneous route than the intravenous route which ranges from 20 to 25 hours, and the peak is always well below the peak achieved using the intravenous route (5–10% of those seen with IV administration).[A33080] The bioavailability of subcutaneous injectable eryt...
Binding of erythropoietin and epoetin alfa to EPO-R leads to cellular internalization, which involves the degradation of the ligand. Erythropoietin and epoetin alfa may also be degraded by the reticuloendothelial scavenging pathway or lymphatic system [A33080].
Overdose from epoetin alfa include signs and symptoms associated with an excessive and/or rapid increase in hemoglobin concentration, including cardiovascular events. Patients with suspected or known overdose should be monitored closely for cardiovascular events and hematologic abnormalities. Polycythemia should be man...

No information of serum protein binding available.
Erythropoietin and epoetin alfa are cleared via uptake and degradation via the EPO-R-expressing cells, and may also involve other cellular pathways in the interstitium, probably via cells in the reticuloendothelial scavenging pathway or lymphatic system [A33080]. Only a small amount of unchanged epoetin alfa is found i...
In healthy volunteers, the volume of distribution of intravenous epoetin alfa was generally similar to the plasma volume (range of 40–63.80 mL/kg), indicating limited extravascular distribution [A33080, A33076].

Used in the treatment of symptomatic Paget's disease for patients unresponsive to alternate treatments or intolerant to such treatments. In addition, it is used in emergency situations when serum calcium levels must be decreased quickly until the underlying condition is identified. It can also be added to existing ther...
Calcitonin inhibits bone resorption by osteoclasts (bone remodeling cells) and promotes bone formation by osteoblasts. This leads to a net increase in bone mass and a reduction in plasma calcium levels. It also promotes the renal excretion of ions such as calcium, phosphate, sodium, magnesium, and potassium by decreasi...
Calcitonin binds to the calcitonin receptor (found primarily in osteoclasts) which then enhances the production of vitamin D producing enzymes (25-hydroxyvitamine D-24-hydroxylase), leading to greater calcium retention and enhanced bone density. Binding of calcitonin to its receptor also activates adenylyl cyclase and ...
Salmon calcitonin is rapidly absorbed with bioavailability of 71% following subcutaneous injection and 66% following intramuscular injection in humans. Via the nasal route, the bioavailability varies between 3 to 5% relative to IM.
Salmon calcitonin primarily undergoes degradation in the kidneys to form pharmacologically inactive metabolites. It is also metabolized in the blood and the peripheral tissue.
Salmon calcitonin was shown to inhibit lactation in animals and is not recommend in nursing mothers. While research in animals have shown a decrease in fetal weight, no studies have yet shown similar results in humans. It is recommended however to proceed carefully when administering salmon calcitonin to pregnant women...
Half-life elimination (terminal): I.M. 58 minutes; SubQ 59 to 64 minutes; Nasal: ~18 to 23 minutes
Protein binding is about 30 to 40%.
Urine. Studies with injectable calcitonin show increases in the excretion of filtered phosphate, calcium, and sodium by decreasing their tubular reabsorption in the kidney.

Pegfilgrastim is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with non­ myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with a clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia.[L44221] It is also indicated to increase survival...
Pegfilgrastim is a recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) that promotes the production, proliferation, and maturation of neutrophils, which are white blood cells involved in both innate and adaptive immune responses.[A187631,A248855] The safety and efficacy of pegfilgrastim in reducing the risk...
Neutrophils are short-lived immune cells that are highly susceptible to cell death following myelosuppressive chemotherapy. This marked reduction in neutrophil numbers during chemotherapy increases the risk of hospitalization, infection, and infection-related mortality. It also directly impacts the clinical outcome of ...
Pegfilgrastim has a lower absolute bioavailability than filgrastim following subcutaneous administration. The absorption of pegfilgrastim is largely dependent on the lymphatic system due to the attached PEG group contributing to the large size of the drug. It is slowly absorbed following subcutaneous administration wit...
It is not know whether pegfilgrastim is metabolized into major metabolites.[L10022] Once it binds to the therapeutic target, pegfilgrastim is internalized by the neutrophil and undergoes nonspecific degradation.[A29]
The maximum safe dose of pegfilgrastim has not been established; however, the highest dose used in clinical trials was 300 mcg/kg.[A248855] Overdosage of pegfilgrastim may result in leukocytosis and bone pain. Events of edema, dyspnea, and pleural effusion have been reported in a single patient who self-administered pe...
The serum half-life of Pegfilgrastim is highly variable depending on the absolute neutrophil count, with the range of 15 to 80 hours following subcutaneous administration. The median serum half-life of 42 hours.[A187607,L9746]
The plasma protein binding of pegfilgrastim is unlikely.[L10022]
The polyethylene glycol moiety limits the renal clearance by glomerular filtration of pegfilgrastim, making neutrophil-mediated clearance as the predominant route of elimination.[A187607] This elimination pathway is initiated by the binding of pegfilgrastim to the G-CSF receptor on the neutrophil cell surface, leading ...

Anakinra
Anakinra is a recombinant human interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) composed of 153 amino acid residues. Unlike native human IL-1Ra, anakinra has an additional methionine residue at the amino terminus. This drug binds to the IL-1 receptor, competing with and inhibiting the activity of IL-1 alpha and beta....
liquid
Anakinra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist indicated for the reduction in signs and symptoms and slowing the progression of structural damage in moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in patients 18 years of age or older who have failed one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs)....
Anakinra is a recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) that blocks the biologic activity of interleukin-1 (IL-1) by competitively inhibiting its ability to bind to the IL-1 type I receptor (IL-1RI). IL-1 production is higher in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, where the amount of ...
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays an important role in inflammation and immunological responses. Inflammatory stimuli trigger its production, and it binds to the IL-1 receptor to activate a wide variety of mechanisms. The activity of the IL-1 receptor is also regulated by a naturally occurring IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra...
The bioavailability of anakinra is 95% in healthy subjects administered a 70 mg subcutaneous bolus injection. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) administered a subcutaneous dose of anakinra, the maximum plasma concentration was detected 3 to 7 hours later. No unexpected accumulation was observed in RA patients ...
As a protein-based therapy, anakinra is expected to be metabolized by proteases throughout the body.
In clinical trials done in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) treated with anakinra, no cases of overdose were reported.[L35415] Sepsis trials were performed using mean calculated doses up to 35 times the ones given to patients with RA over 72 hours. Anak...
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the terminal half-life of anakinra ranged from 4 to 6 hours. In patients with neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), the median half-life of anakinra was 5.7 h (range=3.1-28.2, n=12).[L35415]
Not Available
Anakinra is mostly excreted by the kidney; therefore, the risk of toxic reactions may increase in patients with impaired renal function.[L35415]
In adult subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with anakinra (n=35), the volume of distribution averaged 18.5 L.[L41628]
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the clearance of anakinra was relatively consistent for different dose levels.[L41628] Clearance is variable and increases with increasing creatinine clearance and body weight. However, gender and age were not significant factors.[L35415] In patients with mild (creatinine cle...

Gramcidin D is a heterogeneous mixture of three antibiotic compounds, gramicidins A, B and C, making up 80%, 6%, and 14% respectively all of which are obtained from the soil bacterial species Bacillus brevis and called collectively gramicidin D. Gramcidins are 15 residue peptides with alternating D and L amino acids, w...
liquid
For treatment of skin lesions, surface wounds and eye infections.
Gramicidin is particularly effective against gram-positive bacteria. Because the drug is highly hemolytic, it cannot be administered internally and so is used only on the skin as a lotion or ointment. It is used primarily in the treatment of infected surface wounds, and in eye, nose, and throat infections. It is normal...
Gramicidin D binds to and inserts itself into bacterial membranes (with a strong preference to gram-positive cell membranes). This results in membrane disruption and permeabilization (it acts as a channel). This leads to (i) loss of intracellular solutes (e.g., K+ and amino acids); (ii) dissipation of the transmembrane...

For the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, hairy cell leukemia, AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, and chronic myelogenous leukemia. Also for the treatment of oral warts arising from HIV infection.
Upregulates the expression of MHC I proteins, allowing for increased presentation of peptides derived from viral antigens. This enhances the activation of CD8+ T cells that are the precursors for cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and makes the macrophage a better target for CTL-mediated killing. Interferon alpha also indu...
Interferon alpha binds to type I interferon receptors (IFNAR1 and IFNAR2c) which, upon dimerization, activate two Jak (Janus kinase) tyrosine kinases (Jak1 and Tyk2). These transphosphorylate themselves and phosphorylate the receptors. The phosphorylated INFAR receptors then bind to Stat1 and Stat2 (signal transducers ...

Desmopressin
Desmopressin (dDAVP), a synthetic analogue of 8-arginine vasopressin (ADH), is an antidiuretic peptide drug modified by deamination of 1-cysteine and substitution of 8-L-arginine by 8-D-arginine. ADH is an endogenous pituitary hormone that has a crucial role in the control of the water content in the body. Upon release...

- Indicated for the treatment of nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria in adults who awaken at least 2 times per night to void (intranasal). - Indicated as antidiuretic replacement therapy in the management of central cranial diabetes insipidus and for management of the temporary polyuria and polydipsia following head...
By mimicking the actions of endogenous ADH, desmopressin acts as a selective agonist of V2 receptors expressed in the renal collecting duct (CD) to increase water re-absorption and reduce urine production. Desmopressin has been shown to be more potent than ADH in increasing plasma levels of factor VIII activity in pati...
Upon binding of desmopressin to V2 receptors in the basolateral membrane of the cells of the distal tubule and collecting ducts of the nephron, adenylyl cyclase is stimulated. The resulting intracellular cascades in the collecting duct lead to increased rate of insertion of water channels, called aquaporins, into the l...
Following nasal spray administration of 0.83 mcg and 1.66 mcg, median time to peak plasma concentrations (Tmax) was 0.25 and 0.75 hour, respectively [FDA Label].

In vitro, in human liver microsome preparations, it has been shown that no significant amount of desmopressin is metabolised in the liver and thus human liver metabolism in vivo is not likely to occur [L1184].
Intravenous TDLo in humans is reported to be 0.3 µg/kg/10M [MSDS]. Desmopressin is associated with hyponatremia in case of overdose, which may require temporary or permanent discontinuation of the therapy depending on severity. The effects of hyponatremia include seizure, altered mental status (confusion, drowsiness or...
Following an intranasal dose of 1.66 mcg of desmopressin, the median apparent terminal half-life was 2.8 hours [FDA Label]. Terminal half-life significantly increased from 3 hours in normal healthy patients to 9 hours in patients with severe renal impairment [FDA Label]. The oral terminal half life of desmopressin rang...
Following radioiodination (125I) in the N-terminal, the fraction of plasma protein binding of desmopressin was reported to be 17.3 ± 1.5% in a pharmacokinetic study involving healthy subjects [A31736].
Desmopressin is mainly excreted in the urine. About 65% of the amount of desmopressin absorbed after oral administration could be recovered in the urine within 24 hours [L1184].
The distribution volume of orally administered desmopressin is 0.2 – 0.32 l/kg [L1184]. It is not reported to cross the blood-brain barrier.

For treatment of infertility in women with hypothalamic or pituitary insufficiency (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) and profound LH deficiency (LH <1.2 international units [IU]/L)
Used to facilitate female conception, lutropin alfa performs the same actions as luteinizing hormone (LH), which is normally produced in the pituitary gland. Lutropin is usually given in combination with follitropin alfa. Together they stimulate the development of a follicle to prepare the reproductive tract for implem...
Luteinizing hormone binds to a receptor shared with the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) on the ovarian theca (and granulosa) cells and testicular Leydig cells. This LH/CG transmembrane receptor is a member of the super-family of G protein-coupled receptors. Adenylate cyclase then activates many other pathway...
Mean absolute bioavailability is 56%, following sub-Q administration, maximum serum concentrations reached after 4–16 hours. Time to peak, serum: 9 hours

Insulin lispro is indicated to improve glycemic control in adult and pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus.[L47616]
Insulin is a natural hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas. In non-diabetic individuals, a basal level of insulin is supplemented with insulin spikes following meals. Increased insulin secretion following meals is responsible for the metabolic changes that occur as the body transitions from a postabsorptive to...
Insulin lispro binds to the insulin receptor (IR), a heterotetrameric protein consisting of two extracellular alpha units and two transmembrane beta units. The binding of insulin to the alpha subunit of IR stimulates the tyrosine kinase activity intrinsic to the beta subunit of the receptor. The bound receptor autophos...
Studies in healthy volunteers and patients with diabetes demonstrated that insulin lispro is absorbed more quickly than regular human insulin, specifically at the abdominal, deltoid, or femoral subcutaneous sites. In healthy volunteers given subcutaneous doses of insulin lispro ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 unit/kg, peak ser...
Human metabolism studies have not been conducted. However, animal studies indicate that the metabolism of insulin lispro is identical to that of regular human insulin.[L47616]
Inappropriately high dosages relative to food intake and/or energy expenditure may result in severe and sometimes prolonged and life-threatening hypoglycemia. Neurogenic (autonomic) signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia include trembling, palpitations, sweating, anxiety, hunger, nausea and tingling. Neuroglycopenic signs ...

liquid
For treatment of hyperuricemia, reduces elevated plasma uric acid levels (from chemotherapy)
Drugs used to treat lympohoid leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute myelogenous leukemia often lead to the accumulation of toxic plasma levels of purine metabolites (i.e. uric acid). The injection of rasburicase reduces levels of uric acid and mitigates the toxic effects of chemotherapy induced tumor lysis.
Rasburicase catalyzes enzymatic oxidation of uric acid into an inactive and soluble metabolite (allantoin).

For the inhibition of premature LH surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation
Cetrorelix is a synthetic decapeptide with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonistic activity. GnRH induces the production and release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the gonadotrophic cells of the anterior pituitary. Due to a positive estradiol (E2) feedback at midcycle...
Cetrorelix binds to the gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor and acts as a potent inhibitor of gonadotropin secretion. It competes with natural GnRH for binding to membrane receptors on pituitary cells and thus controls the release of LH and FSH in a dose-dependent manner.
Rapidly absorbed following subcutaneous injection. The mean absolute bioavailability following subcutaneous administration to healthy female subjects is 85%.

Pegaspargase
Pegaspargase is a conjugate of monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) and L-asparaginase (L-asparagine amidohydrolase), an asparagine-specific enzyme that converts L-asparagine into aspartic acid and ammonia.[L44667] Asparagine is an amino acid that is vital for cell survival.

liquid
Pegaspargase is indicated as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with 1) first-line acute lymphoblastic leukemia or 2) acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hypersensitivity to asparaginase.[L44667]
Unlike normal cells, leukemia cells are dependent on an exogenous source of asparagine for survival. Pegaspargase hydrolyses asparagine into aspartic acid and ammonia, which depletes asparagine levels and leads to leukaemic cell death.[A255917] In patients given intramuscular doses of 2,500 International Units(IU)/m<su...
Pegaspargase is a pegylated L-asparaginase that catalyzes the conversion of the amino acid L-asparagine into aspartic acid and ammonia. Asparagine is an amino acid that is vital for DNA and RNA synthesis and cell division. It is not an essential amino acid in humans since most normal human tissues can produce asparagin...
In patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia given 2,500 International Units (IU)/m<sup>2</sup> of pegaspargase, the mean asparaginase Cmax was reached at approximately 1 IU/mL (n=45-52) five days after a single intramuscular injection. Pegaspargase had a relative bioavailability of 82% after the first intramuscular d...
As a pegylated form of L-asparaginase, pegaspargase is expected to be metabolized by proteolytic enzymes throughout the body. Since these enzymes are ubiquitously distributed, the exact role of the liver is unknown.[L44672]
Patients that received 10,000 International Units/m<sup>2</sup> of pegaspargase intravenously, had a slight increase in liver enzymes and a rash that developed 10 minutes after the start of the infusion, which was controlled with the administration of an antihistamine and by slowing down the infusion rate. There is no ...
The mean elimination half-life of pegaspargase was approximately 5.8 days after a single intramuscular dose, and 5.3 days after a single intravenous dose.[L44667]
null
Due to its high molecular weight, pegaspargase is not excreted renally.[L44672]
Based on a non-compartmental analysis, pegaspargase has a steady-state volume of distribution of approximately 1.86 L/m2 after a single intramuscular injection and 2 L after a single intravenous infusion.[L44667]
For a single intramuscular and intravenous dose, the clearance of pegaspargase is 0.17 L/m2/day and 0.2 L/day, respectively.[L44667]

Eptifibatide
Synthetic cyclic hexapeptide that binds to platelet receptor glycoprotein and inhibits platelet aggregation. Derived from venom of the Southeastern pygmy rattlesnake (Sistrurus miliarus barbouri), eptifibatide is a cyclic heptapeptide that belongs to the class of arginin-glycin-aspartat-mimetics.
liquid
For treatment of myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome.
Eptifibatide is an anti-coagulant that selectively and reversibly blocks the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor.
Eptifibatide inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly binding to the platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa of human platelets, thus preventing the binding of fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and other adhesive ligands. Inhibition of platelet aggregation occurs in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner.
null
No major metabolites have been detected in human plasma. Deamidated eptifibatide and other, more polar metabolites have been detected in urine.
Eptifibatide was not lethal to rats, rabbits, or monkeys when administered by continuous intravenous infusion for 90 minutes at a total dose of 45 mg/kg (about 2 to 5 times the recommended maximum daily human dose on a body surface area basis)

For prophylactic treatment of kidney transplant rejection
Basiliximab functions as an IL-2 receptor antagonist. Specifically it inhibits IL-2-mediated activation of lymphocytes, a critical pathway in the cellular immune response involved in allograft rejection.
Basiliximab binds with high-affinity to the alpha-subunit (CD25) of the high-affinity IL-2 receptor. This inhibits IL-2 binding, which inhibits T-cell activation and prevents the body from mounting an immune response against the foreign kidney.

Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibacterial agent produced as a fermentation product by the soil microbe _Streptomyces roseosporus_. The daptomycin core consists of 13 amino acids, including three D-amino acids, ornithine, 3-methyl-glutamic acid, and kynurenine, with the C-terminal 10 amino acids forming an ester-...
The mechanism of action of daptomycin remains poorly understood. Studies have suggested a direct inhibition of cell membrane/cell wall constituent biosynthesis, including peptidoglycan, uridine diphosphate-N-acid, acetyl-L-alanine, and lipoteichoic acid (LTA). However, no convincing evidence has been presented for any ...

FSH binds to the follicle stimulating hormone receptor which is a G-coupled transmembrane receptor. Binding of the FSH to its receptor seems to induce phosphorylation and activation of the PI3K (Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase) and Akt signaling pathway, which is known to regulate many other metabolic and related surviva...

For the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy.
Lymphocyte activation and trafficking to skin play a role in the pathophysiology of chronic plaque psoriasis. In psoriatic skin, ICAM-1 cell surface expression is upregulated on endothelium and keratinocytes. Raptiva inhibits the binding of LFA-1 to the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), thereby inhibiting the...
Efalizumab binds to CD11a, a subunit of leukocyte function antigen-1 (LFA-1), which is expressed on all leukocytes. As a result efalizumab decreases cell surface expression of CD11a.
Average efalizumab bioavailability following subcutaneous administration was estimated at 30 to 50%.

After a subcutaneous dose, the plasma half-life is estimated to be 0.2 hours. The average elimination half-lives for subcutaneous and oral administration ranged from 2.3 - 2.7 hours and did not differ significantly.[L14528] One pharmacokinetic study revealed a plasma half-life ranging from 72-113 minutes.[A214721]
Approximately 65% of the dose is bound in the plasma to lipoproteins and albumin.[L14513,L14528]
About 32% of an oral octreotide dose is excreted into the urine [L14528] and 30-40% is excreted by the liver into the feces.[A214721]. About 11% of the unchanged parent drug is found in the urine, and 2% of the unchanged parent drug can be recovered in the feces.[A214721]
In a pharmacokinetic study, the volume of distribution was 13.6 L in healthy volunteers.[L14528] One pharmacokinetic study revealed a volume of distribution ranging from 18.1-30.4L after intravenous administration in healthy volunteers.[A214721]

Interferon alpha binds to type I interferon receptors (IFNAR1 and IFNAR2c) which upon dimerization activate two Jak (Janus kinase) tyrosine kinases (Jak1 and Tyk2). These transphosphorylate themselves and phosphorylate the receptors. The phosphorylated INFAR receptors then bind to Stat1 and Stat2 (signal transducers an...
Absorption is high (greater than 80%) when administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

There is limited experience with overdosage. Postmarketing surveillance includes reports of patients receiving a single dose as great as 10 times the recommended dose. In general, the primary effects of an overdose are consistent with the effects seen with therapeutic doses of interferon alfa-2b. Hepatic enzyme abnorma...

solid
For palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
Used in the palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Abarelix is a luteinizing hormone agonist that results in suppression of testicular or follicular steroidogenesis.
Abarelix binds to the gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor and acts as a potent inhibitor of gonadotropin secretion.
Following IM administration of 100 mg, abarelix is absorbed slowly with a mean peak concentration of 43.4 ng/mL observed approximately 3 days after the injection.
<i>In vitro</i> hepatocyte (rat, monkey, human) studies and <i>in vivo</i> studies in rats and monkeys showed that the major metabolites of abarelix were formed via hydrolysis of peptide bonds. No significant oxidative or conjugated metabolites of abarelix were found either <i>in vitro</i> or <i>in vivo</i>. There is n...
The maximum tolerated dose of abarelix has not been determined. The maximum dose used in clinical studies was 150 mg. There have been no reports of accidental overdose with abarelix.
