penicillamine - Medications

Penicillamine is a chelating agent used in the treatment of Wilson's disease. It is also used to reduce cystine excretion in cystinuria and to treat patients with severe, active rheumatoid arthritis unresponsive to conventional therapy (see INDICATIONS ). It is 3-mercapto-D-valine. It is a white or practically white, crystalline powder, freely soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, and insoluble in ether, acetone, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride. Although its configuration is D, it is levorotatory as usually measured: calculated on a dried basis. The empirical formula is C 5 H 11 NO 2 S, giving it a molecular weight of 149.21. The structural formula is: It reacts readily with formaldehyde or acetone to form a thiazolidine-carboxylic acid. AAGYLUR (penicillamine) capsules, USP, for oral administration contain 250 mg of penicillamine. Each capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: mannitol and magnesium stearate. The capsule shell contains: gelatin, D & C Yellow 10 and titanium dioxide. Imprinting ink contains: shellac, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, propylene glycol, strong ammonia solution, black iron oxide, potassium hydroxide and purified water.
