EMBLAVEO for injection, for intravenous use, is a combination product consisting of aztreonam and avibactam sodium. Aztreonam Aztreonam is a synthetic, monobactam antibacterial drug. Its chemical name is (Z)-2-[[[(2-Amino-4-thiazolyl)[[(2S,3S)-2-methyl-4-oxo-1-sulfo-3-azetidinyl]carbamoyl]methylene]amino]oxy]-2-methylpropionic acid. Its molecular weight is 435.43 g/mol. The empirical formula is C 13 H 17 N 5 O 8 S 2 . Figure 1 . Chemical structure of aztreonam Avibactam Avibactam sodium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Its chemical name is sodium [(2S,5R)-2-carbamoyl-7-oxo-1,6- diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-6-yl] sulfate. Its molecular weight is 287.23 g/mol. The empirical formula is C 7 H 10 N 3 O 6 SNa. Figure 2. Chemical structure of avibactam sodium EMBLAVEO 2 grams (aztreonam 1.5 grams and avibactam 0.5 grams) for injection is a white to slightly yellow sterile powder for reconstitution consisting of aztreonam and avibactam packaged in glass vials. The formulation also contains inactive ingredient L-arginine 1170 mg/vial. Each EMBLAVEO 2 grams single-dose vial contains 1.5 grams aztreonam and 0.5 grams avibactam (equivalent to 0.542 gram sterile avibactam sodium). The total sodium content of the mixture is approximately 44.6 mg/vial. Figure 1. Chemical structure of aztreonam Figure 2. Chemical structure of avibactam sodium
