Argatroban in sodium chloride injection is a synthetic direct thrombin inhibitor. The chemical name for argatroban monohydrate 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: Argatroban in sodium chloride injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, clear, colorless to pale yellow solution. It is supplied in a clear glass single-dose vial containing 50 mg of argatroban in 50 mL sodium chloride solution. Each mL contains 1 mg argatroban, 9 mg sodium chloride, USP, 3 mg sorbitol, NF in water for injection, USP. The pH of the solution is between 4.0 to 7.5. Argatroban Chemical Structure
