Epoprostenol sodium is the sodium salt of epoprostenol, formulated as a sterile lyophilized cake or powder for intravenous (IV) administration. Each vial of epoprostenol for injection contains epoprostenol sodium equivalent to either 0.5 mg (500,000 ng) or 1.5 mg (1,500,000 ng) epoprostenol, 100 mg sucrose, and 5 mg glycine. Sodium hydroxide is added to adjust pH. Epoprostenol (PGI 2 , PGX, prostacyclin), a metabolite of arachidonic acid, is a naturally occurring prostaglandin with potent vasodilatory activity and inhibitory activity of platelet aggregation. Epoprostenol is (5Z,9α,11α,13E,15S)-6,9-epoxy-11,15-dihydroxy-prosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid, sodium salt. Epoprostenol sodium has a molecular weight of 374.45 and a molecular formula of C 20 H 31 NaO 5 . The structural formula is: Epoprostenol for injection is a white to off-white lyophilized cake or powder material. It is reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection, USP, or Sodium Chloride 0.9% Injection, USP. The reconstituted solution of epoprostenol for injection has a pH ranging from 12.0 to 13.2 and is increasingly unstable at a lower pH. spl-epoprostenol-structure
FLOLAN (epoprostenol sodium) for injection is sterile sodium salt that is a white or off-white powder formulated for intravenous (IV) administration. Each vial of FLOLAN contains epoprostenol sodium equivalent to either 0.5 mg (500,000 ng) or 1.5 mg (1,500,000 ng) epoprostenol, 3.76 mg glycine, 50 mg mannitol, and 2.93 mg sodium chloride. Sodium hydroxide may have been added to adjust pH. Epoprostenol (PGI 2 , PGX, prostacyclin), a metabolite of arachidonic acid, is a naturally occurring prostaglandin with potent vasodilatory activity and inhibitory activity of platelet aggregation. The chemical name of epoprostenol is (5Z,9α,11α,13 E ,15 S )-6,9-epoxy-11,15-dihydroxyprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid. Epoprostenol sodium has a molecular weight of 374.45 and a molecular formula of C 20 H 31 NaO 5 . The structural formula is: FLOLAN must be reconstituted with pH 12 STERILE DILUENT for FLOLAN. pH 12 STERILE DILUENT for FLOLAN is supplied in plastic vials each containing 50 mL of 94 mg glycine, 73.3 mg sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide (added to adjust the pH to 11.7 to 12.3), and Water for Injection. The stability of reconstituted solutions of FLOLAN is pH-dependent and is greater at higher pH. epoprostenol sodium chemical structure
