The chemical name for dabigatran etexilate mesylate, a direct thrombin inhibitor, is β-Alanine, N-[[2-[[[4-[[[(hexyloxy)carbonyl]amino]iminomethyl]phenyl]amino]methyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl]carbonyl]-N-2-pyridinyl-,ethyl ester, methanesulfonate. The molecular formula is C 34 H 41 N 7 O 5 ⋅ CH 4 O 3 S and the molecular weight is 723.86 (mesylate salt), 627.75 (free base). The structural formula is: Dabigatran etexilate mesylate is a yellow-white to yellow powder. A saturated solution in pure water has a solubility of 1.8 mg/mL. It is freely soluble in methanol, slightly soluble in ethanol, and sparingly soluble in isopropanol. Dabigatran etexilate capsules are supplied in 75 mg, 110 mg, and 150 mg strengths for oral administration. Each capsule contains dabigatran etexilate mesylate as the active ingredient: 75 mg dabigatran etexilate (equivalent to 86.475 mg dabigatran etexilate mesylate), 110 mg dabigatran etexilate (equivalent to 126.830 mg dabigatran etexilate mesylate) or 150 mg dabigatran etexilate (equivalent to 172.950 mg dabigatran etexilate mesylate) along with the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, ethylcellulose, hypromellose, lecithin (soya), low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol-partially hydrolyzed, talc, tartaric acid pellets, titanium dioxide and xanthan gum. The capsule shell contains carrageenan, FD&C Yellow No. 6, hypromellose, potassium chloride and titanium dioxide. In addition, 110 mg and 150 mg capsule shell contains FD&C Blue No. 2. The capsules are printed with black edible ink containing black iron oxide, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol and shellac. Chemical Structure
