Bivalirudin Injection contains bivalirudin trifluoroacetate, which is a specific and reversible direct thrombin inhibitor. Bivalirudin trifluoroacetate is a synthetic, 20 amino acid peptide salt, with the chemical name of D-phenylalanyl-L-prolyl-L-arginyl-L-prolylglycylglycylglycylglycyl-L-asparagylglycyl-L-α-aspartyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-α-glutamyl-L-α-glutamyl-L-isoleucyl-L-prolyl-L-α-glutamyl-L-α-glutamyl-L-tyrosyl-L-leucine trifluoroacetate. Each molecule of bivalirudin trifluoroacetate contains 1.7 to 2.6 equivalents of trifluoroacetic acid. The molecular formula of bivalirudin free base is C 98 H 138 N 24 O 33 and its molecular weight is 2180.32 Daltons (anhydrous free base peptide). The structural formula of bivalirudin free base is Figure 1: Structural Formula of Bivalirudin Bivalirudin Injection is supplied as a refrigerated, ready-to-use, sterile solution packaged in a 50 mL single-dose vial. Each milliliter of Bivalirudin Injection contains 5 mg bivalirudin (as trifluoroacetate salt)*, 0.8 mg sodium acetate trihydrate, 100 mg polyethylene glycol 400, and Water for Injection. The pH of Bivalirudin Injection may have been adjusted with sodium hydroxide and/or glacial acetic acid to 5.0 to 5.5. The solution is intended for intravenous administration at room temperature (20ºC to 25°C/68ºF to 77°F). *The range of bivalirudin trifluoroacetate is 5.4 to 5.6 mg based on a range of trifluoroacetic acid composition of 1.7 to 2.6 equivalents. chemicalstructure.jpg
