Tirofiban Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Chemische Eigenschaften
Tirofiban is an Off-White to Pale Yellow Solid. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide, which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of tirofiban in these solvents is approximately 30 mg/ml.
Verwenden
Tirofiban (Aggrastatt, MK-0383; L-700,462) is a parenteral, highly specific, and potent GPIIb/IIIa antagonist that was approved for patient use in 1998 for the treatment of unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction.
Tirofiban is a nonpeptide GP IIb/IIIa antagonist that binds reversibly to IIb/IIIa receptors. Tirofiban is a non-peptide reversible antagonist of the platelet integrin glycoprotein (GP) IIbIIIa receptor used as an antiplatelet drug.
Tirofiban is a small molecule inhibitor of the protein-protein interaction between fibrinogen and the platelet integrin receptor GP IIb/IIIa and is the first drug candidate whose origins can be traced to a pharmacophore-based virtual screening lead.
Definition
ChEBI: Tirofiban is a member of the class of piperidines that is L-tyrosine in which a hydrogen attached to the amino group is replaced by a butylsulfonyl group and in which the hydrogen attached to the phenolic hydroxy group is replaced by a 4-(piperidin-4-yl)butyl group. It has a role as a fibrin modulating drug, a platelet glycoprotein-IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist and an anticoagulant. It is a member of piperidines, a sulfonamide and a L-tyrosine derivative.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Tirofiban is a nonpeptide that appears unrelatedchemically to eptifibatide, but actually has many similarities.The chemical architecture incorporates a systemthat is mimicking the RGD moiety that is present in eptifibatide.This can be seen in the distance between the nitrogenof the piperidine ring, which mimics the basic nitrogen ofarginine in the RGD sequence, and the carboxylic acid,which mimics the acid of aspartate in the RGD sequence.The basic nitrogen and the carboxylic acid of tirofiban areseparated by approximately 15 to 17? (16–18 atoms). Thisis the optimum distance seen in the RGD sequence of theplatelet receptor. Tirofiban is useful in treating non–Q wavemyocardial infarction and unstable angina.
Clinical Use
Tirofiban is a member of a new class of antithrombotic agents known as the “ fibans”.
These compounds have a structural similarity to disintegrin, which was originally isolated from
snake venoms. The location of the –COO-
and NH3+
in the fibans is identical to the distance
between the same functional groups of the RGD loop of disintegrin, and as a result, the fibans are
able to effectively block the binding of fibrinogen to the GPIIb/IIIa receptor in an reversible manor.
Mode of action
Tirofiban is a reversible antagonist that inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly binding to the receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa of human platelets, thus preventing the binding of fibrinogen. Inhibition of platelet aggregation occurs in a dose- and concentrationdependent manner.?
