Mecasermin is a human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1) produced by recombinant DNA technology. IGF-1 consists of 70 amino acids in a single chain with three intramolecular disulfide bridges and a molecular weight of 7649 Da. The amino acid sequence of the product is identical to that of endogenous human IGF-1. The rhIGF-1 protein is synthesized in bacteria ( E. coli ) that have been modified by the addition of the gene for human IGF-1. INCRELEX (mecasermin) injection is a sterile, aqueous, clear and colorless solution intended for subcutaneous injection. Each multiple-dose vial of INCRELEX contains 40 mg of mecasermin in 4 mL solution, and each mL contains 10 mg mecasermin, 9 mg benzyl alcohol, 0.43 mg glacial acetic acid, 2 mg polysorbate 20, 3.51 mg sodium acetate, and 5.84 mg sodium chloride in Water for Injection, USP at a pH of approximately 5.4.
