NAGLAZYME is a formulation of galsulfase, which is a purified human enzyme that is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. Galsulfase (glycosaminoglycan N -acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase, EC 3.1.6.12) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of the sulfate ester from terminal N –acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate residues of glycosaminoglycans (GAG), chondroitin 4-sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Galsulfase is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 56 kDa. The recombinant protein consists of 495 amino acids and possesses six asparagine‑linked glycosylation sites, four of which carry a bis‑mannose-6–phosphate residue for specific cellular recognition. Post-translational modification of Cys53 produces the catalytic amino acid residue, Cα-formylglycine, which is required for enzyme activity. NAGLAZYME has a specific activity of approximately 70 units per mg of protein content. One activity unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to convert 1 micromole of 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfate to 4-methylumbelliferone and free sulfate per minute at 37°C. NAGLAZYME is intended for intravenous infusion and is supplied as a sterile, nonpyrogenic, colorless to pale yellow, clear to slightly opalescent solution that must be diluted with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, prior to administration. NAGLAZYME is supplied in clear Type I glass 5 mL vials. Each vial provides 5 mg galsulfase, 43.8 mg sodium chloride, 6.20 mg sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate, 1.34 mg sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate, and 0.25 mg polysorbate 80 in a 5 mL extractable solution with pH of approximately 5.8. NAGLAZYME does not contain preservatives. Each vial is for single use only.
