| N6-(Aminoiminomethyl)-N2-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)-L-lysylglycyl-L-α-aspartyl-L-tryptophyl-L-prolyl-L-cysteinamide cyclic (16)-disulfide acetate Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | The acetate salt form of eptifibatide (E592000), an arginine-glycine-aspartate-mimetic which reversibly binds to platelets to reduce the risk of cardiac ischemic events. | | General Description | Eptifibatide acetate is a cyclic heptapeptide. It is the member of the class arginin-glycin-aspartat-mimetics. Eptifibatide has a short half-life. The drug decreases the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Eptifibatide acetate might be associated with thrombocytopenia. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Eptifibatide is a specific inhibitor of fibrinogen binding to the platelet membrane integrin glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa receptor, preventing platelet aggregation. Eptifibatide binds reversibly and competitively. |
