基本介绍
Carglumic acid is an orphan drug used for the treatment of hyperammonaemia in patients with N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency. This rare genetic disorder results in elevated blood levels of ammonia, which can eventually cross the blood–brain barrier and cause neurologic problems, cerebral edema, coma, and death. Carglumic acid was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 18 March 2010.

适应症
药理
Indication | For the treatment of acute and chronic hyperammonaemia in patients with N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) deficiency. This enzyme is an important component of the urea cycle to prevent build up of neurotoxic ammonium in the blood. |
Pharmacodynamics | The median Tmax of Carbaglu was 3 hours (range: 2-4). The initial daily dose ranges from 100 to 250 mg/kg, adjusted thereafter to maintain normal plasma levels of ammonia. |
Mechanism of action | Carglumic acid is a synthetic structural analogue of N-acetylglutamate (NAG), which is an essential allosteric activator of the liver enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1). CPS1 is found in the mitochondria and is the first enzyme of the urea cycle, which converts ammonia into urea. Carglumic acid acts as a replacement for NAG in NAGS deficiency patients by activating CPS1 but it does not help to regulate the urea cycle. |
Absorption | 30% bioavailability; Cmax, mean, 100 mg/kg dose = 2.6 μg/mL (range of 1.9 - 4.8) Carglumic acid is not subject to to intracellular degradation. |
Volume of distribution | The apparent volume of distribution was 2657 L (range: 1616-5797). |
Protein binding | Not Available |
Metabolism |
A proportion of carglumic acid may be metabolized by the intestinal bacterial flora. The likely end product of carglumic acid metabolism is carbon dioxide, eliminated through the lungs.
|
Route of elimination | Following administration of a single radiolabeled oral dose of 100 mg/kg of body weight, 9% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the urine and up to 60% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the feces. |
Half life | Median values for the terminal half-life was 5.6 hours (range 4.3-9.5). |
Clearance | The apparent total clearance was 5.7 L/min (range 3.0-9.7), the renal clearance was 290 mL/min (range 204-445), and the 24-hour urinary excretion was 4.5 % of the dose (range 3.5-7.5). |
Toxicity | LD50, oral, mouse: >1000 mg/kg |
