KABIVEN is a sterile, hypertonic emulsion, for central venous administration, in a Three Chamber Bag. The product contains no added sulfites. Chamber 1 contains Dextrose monohydrate solution for fluid replenishment and caloric supply. Chamber 2 contains the Amino Acid solution with Electrolytes, which comprises essential and nonessential amino acids provided with electrolytes. Chamber 3 contains Intralipid ® 20% (a 20% Lipid Injectable Emulsion), prepared for intravenous administration as a source of calories and essential fatty acids. See below for formulations of each chamber and Table 2 for strength, pH, osmolarity, ionic concentration and caloric content of KABIVEN when all the chambers are mixed together. Chamber 1: Contains sterile, hypertonic solution of Dextrose, USP in water for injection with a pH range of 3.5 to 5.5. Dextrose, USP is chemically designated D-glucose, monohydrate (C 6 H 12 O 6 • H 2 O) and has the following structure: Dextrose is derived from corn. Chamber 2 : Contains a sterile, solution of amino acids and electrolytes in water for injection. In addition, glacial acetic acid has been added to adjust the pH so that the final solution pH is 5.4 to 5.8. The formulas for the individual electrolytes and amino acids are as follows: Electrolytes Sodium Acetate Trihydrate, USP CH 3 COONax3H 2 O Potassium Chloride, USP KCl Sodium Glycerophosphate C 3 H 5 (OH) 2 PO 4 Na 2 xH 2 O Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate, USP MgSO 4 x7H 2 O Calcium Chloride Dihydrate, USP CaCl 2 x2H 2 O Essential Amino Acids Lysine (added as the hydrochloride salt) H 2 N(CH 2 ) 4 CH(NH 2 )COOH.HCl Phenylalanine CH 2 CH(NH 2 )COOH Leucine (CH 3 ) 2 CHCH 2 CH(NH 2 )COOH Valine (CH 3 ) 2 CHCH(NH 2 )COOH Histidine CH2CH(NH2)COOH Threonine CH 3 CH(OH)CH(NH 2 )COOH Methionine CH 3 S(CH 2 ) 2 CH(NH 2 )COOH Isoleucine CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3 )CH(NH 2 )COOH Tryptophan CH 2 CH(NH 2 )COOH Nonessential Amino Acids Alanine CH 3 CH(NH 2 )COOH Arginine H 2 NC(NH)NH(CH 2 ) 3 CH(NH 2 )COOH Glycine H 2 NCH 2 COOH Proline Glutamic Acid HOOC(CH 2 ) 2 CH(NH 2 )COOH Serine HOCH 2 CH(NH 2 )COOH Aspartic Acid HOOCCH 2 CH(NH 2 )COOH Tyrosine NH 2 Chamber 3: Contains a 20% Lipid Injectable Emulsion (Intralipid ® 20%) which is made up of 20% Soybean Oil, 1.2% Egg Yolk Phospholipids, 2.25% Glycerin, and water for injection. In addition, sodium hydroxide has been added to adjust the pH. The final product pH range is 6 to 9. The soybean oil is a refined natural product consisting of a mixture of neutral triglycerides of predominantly unsaturated fatty acids with the following structure: where are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid residues. The major component fatty acids are linoleic (48 to 58 %), oleic (17 to 30%), palmitic (9 to 13%), linolenic (5 to 11%) and stearic acid (2.5 to 5%). These fatty acids have the following chemical and structural formulas: Linoleic acid C 18 H 32 O 2 Oleic acid C 18 H 34 O 2 Palmitic acid C 16 H 32 O 2 Linolenic acid C 18 H 30 O 2 Stearic acid C 18 H 36 O 2 Purified egg phosphatides are a mixture of naturally occurring phospholipids which are isolated from the egg yolk. These phospholipids have the following general structure: contain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that abound in neutral fats. R3 is primarily either the choline or ethanolamine ester of phosphoric acid. Glycerin is chemically designated C 3 H 8 O 3 and is a clear colorless, hygroscopic syrupy liquid. It has the following structural formula: The container-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional oxygen and moisture barrier when necessary. An oxygen absorber is placed between the inner bag and the overpouch. The container is not made with natural rubber latex or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). KABIVEN contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure
