Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
thrombin [1]
In vitro

Argatroban is highly selective for thrombin and has little or no effect on related serine proteases (trypsin, factor Xa, plasmin, and kallikrein). Argatroban is effective against free, fibrin-bound and clot-bound thrombin with comparable half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50), and argatroban is also effective in inhibiting platelet aggregation and thromboxane generation in the presence of both free and clot-bound thrombin[1]. Argatroban binds thrombin and inhibits its activity without the requirement of coenzymes, unlike antithrombin III or heparin cofactor II. Argatroban decreases bone metastasis of B16 mouse melanoma cells by inactivating thrombin activity. Moreover, argatroban has potential to inhibit PAR-2 activation by interfering with the thrombogenic cycle. It does not have toxic effect for tumor cells[2].

In vivo

Within a clinically relevant dose range (from 1–3 μg/kg/min in prevention or treatment of thrombotic events in HIT to up to 25 μg/kg/min in PCI in HIT patients), argatroban exhibits linear pharmacokinetic behavior, and steady state levels are attained within 1 hour after the start of an infusion. The elimination half-life of argatroban in healthy subjects is about 45 minutes, with a corresponding decline in its anticoagulant effects which reach their pretreatment level within 2–4 hours after cessation of an infusion. Argatroban lacks major drug–drug interactions with CYP3A4/5 inhibitors such as erythromycin or with acetaminophen, warfarin, and digoxin. However, in patients with hepatic impairment, area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC), maximum concentration, and half-life of argatroban were increased approximately 2- to 3-fold, and clearance was one-fourth that of healthy volunteers. The increase in plasma concentrations in these patients coincided with increased pharmacodynamic effects[1].
