Argatroban-¹³C₆ hydrochloride

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
Argatroban (MD-805) may have a complementary effect for preventing thrombus formation without aggravating bleeding tendency because of its monotarget specificity to thrombin. Administration (0.5 to 2 micrograms/kg/min) of Argatroban (MD-805) is a safe anticoagulant for left heart bypass in repairs of traumatic aortic rupture associated with multiple organ injuries^[2]. Argatroban (MD-805), as compared with heparin, appears to enhance reperfusion with TPA in patients with AMI, particularly in those patients with delayed presentation. The incidences of major bleeding and adverse clinical outcome were lower in the patients receiving argatroban^[3].
