Argatroban is a synthetic direct thrombin inhibitor and the chemical name is 1-[5- [(aminoiminomethyl)amino]-1-oxo-2-[[(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-methyl-8-quinolinyl)sulfonyl]amino]pentyl]-4-methyl-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid, monohydrate. Argatroban has 4 asymmetric carbons. One of the asymmetric carbons has an R configuration (stereoisomer Type I) and an S configuration (stereoisomer Type II). Argatroban consists of a mixture of R and S stereoisomers at a ratio of approximately 65:35. The molecular formula of argatroban is C 23 H 36 N 6 O 5 S•H 2 O. Its molecular weight is 526.66 g/mol. The structural formula is shown below: Argatroban is a white, odorless crystalline powder that is freely soluble in glacial acetic acid, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, and ether. Argatroban Injection 50 mg per 50 mL (1 mg per mL) is a sterile clear, colorless to pale yellow, solution. Argatroban 50 mg per 50 mL (1 mg per mL) is available in 50-mg (in 50-mL) single-dose clear vials, with flip-off seals. Each mL of sterile, nonpyrogenic solution contains 1 mg Argatroban. Inert ingredients (per vial): 260 mg Propylene glycol, 152 mg Dehydrated alcohol, and 450 mg Sodium Chloride. Structural Formula
