Leuprolide
Acetate
Hormone therapy drug used
to treat prostate cancer. Leuprolide is a nonapeptide GnRH (LHRH)
analog that stops the pituitary gland from producing luteinizing
hormone. This action leads to a reduction in testosterone levels,
which may help to shrink the tumor or slow its growth.
Triptorelin
Acetate
Prevents the production
of certain types of hormones in the body. Triptorelin is a
decapeptide GnRH (LHRH) agonist used to treat men with prostate
cancer, women who have uterine fibroids or endometriosis, and
boys and girls when puberty occurs prematurely.
Terlipressin
Acetate
Decreases blood flow to
the gastrointestinal system and can help reduce gastrointestinal
bleeding caused by high blood pressure in the liver or swollen
blood vessels in the esophagus. Terlipressin is an analog of the
peptide hormone, vasopressin, used as a vasoactive drug in the
management of hypotension.
Liraglutide
A glucagon-like peptide
(GLP)-1 receptor agonist used for the treatment of type 2
diabetes and obesity. It works by increasing the amount of
insulin produced by the body. It also helps decrease sugar levels
produced by the liver and absorbed by the intestines.
Buserelin
Acetate
Buserelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone
agonist (GnRH agonist). Interactions of buserelin with GnRH
causes immediate release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
and luteinizing hormone (LH) by gonadotrophes.
Exenatide
Acetate
Exenatide is an
injectable drug that reduces the level of glucose in the blood
and is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a 39-amino acid
peptide that resembles and acts like GLP-1, which the action of
glucagon, and reduces appetite.Glatiramer Acetate. Glatiramer is
an immunomodulator drug used to treat multiple sclerosis in cases
when there have been relapses followed by periods of recovery. It
is a random polymer of four amino acids found in myelin basic
protein that works by preventing the body from damaging nerve
cells.
Octreotide
Acetate
A long-acting octapeptide
with pharmacologic actions mimicking those of the natural hormone
somatostatin. Octreotide reduces blood levels of growth hormone
(GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in acromegaly
patients. Octreotide is also used to control symptoms such as
diarrhea or flushing in patients with carcinoid tumors,
pancreatic islet cell tumors, gastrinoma, or vasoactive
intestinal peptide-secreting tumors (VIPomas).
Glucagon
Hydrochloride
Glucagon, a single-chain
polypeptide containing 29 amino acid residues, is a peptide
hormone that increases blood glucose concentration and is used in
the treatment of hypoglycemia. It acts only on liver glycogen,
converting it to glucose. Glucagon relaxes smooth muscle of the
stomach, duodenum, small bowel, and colon.
BivalirudinTrifluoroacetate
Bivalirudin is a 20
residue peptide (direct thrombin inhibitor) that reversibly
inhibits thrombin. It is used in patients who are having certain
heart and blood vessel procedures, such as coronary angioplasty.
Bivalirudin decreases the blood’s clotting ability, which helps
prevent harmful blockages from forming in blood vessels.
Eptifibatide
A cyclic hexapeptide that
binds to platelet receptor glycoprotein and inhibits platelet
aggregation. Eptifibatide keeps the platelets in the blood from
coagulating (clotting) to prevent blood clots or heart attack for
those with severe chest pain or other conditions, and for those
undergoing angioplasty to open blocked arteries. Developing
