Fosaprepitant dimeglumine Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
Fosaprepitant dimeglumine belongs to the group of antiemetics. The active substance inhibits part of the vomiting centre. It is used for the treatment of postoperative or chemotherapyinduced nausea and vomiting.
Chemische Eigenschaften
Fosaprepitant dimeglumine is a white to off-white amorphous powder. It is freely soluble in water. The pH of a 1.0 g sample of fosaprepitant dimeglumine, dissolved in 25 mL of water, is approximately 8.3. Fosaprepitant, a prodrug of aprepitant, when administered intravenously is rapidly converted to aprepitant.
Verwenden
Fosaprepitant-d4 Dimeglumine is a labeled analogue of Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine (F727305), a selective neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antahonist. Fosaprepitant is an antiemetic drug, a Aprepitant (A729800) prodrug.
Indications
Fosaprepitant dimeglumine is a new drug indicated to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic cisplatin-based and moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in adults.
Definition
ChEBI: Fosaprepitant dimeglumine is an organoammonium salt obtained by reaction of fosaprepitant with two equivalents of 1-deoxy-1-(methylamino)-D-glucitol. A substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist. Aprepitant is a selective high-affinity antagonist of human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors. Aprepitant has little or no affinity for serotonin (5-HT3), dopamine, and corticosteroid receptors, the targets of existing therapies for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and postoperative nausea and vomiting It has a role as a prodrug, an antiemetic and a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist. It contains a fosaprepitant(2-).
Biologische Aktivität
Fosaprepitant dimeglumine acts as a therapeutic agent to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. It also acts as a weak inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4).
Fosaprepitant dimeglumine is a Substance P/neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist. It is a water soluble prodrug of the antiemetic drug aprepitant.
Fosaprepitant dimeglumine is a water-soluble prodrug form of the neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist aprepitant. Formulations containing fosaprepitant dimeglumine have been used to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
Nebenwirkungen
Most common adverse reactions in adults (≥2%) are: fatigue, diarrhea, neutropenia, asthenia, anemia, peripheral neuropathy, leukopenia, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, pain in extremity.
Adverse reactions in pediatrics are similar to adults.
