Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical description & handling notes

• Solid
• The median Tmax of Carbaglu was 3 hours (range: 2-4). The daily dose of carglumic acid ranges from 100 to 250 mg/kg and this does are normally adjusted to maintain normal plasma levels of ammonia.

GHS Hazard Classification

Documented Uses

• For the treatment of acute and chronic hyperammonaemia in patients with N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) deficiency. This enzyme is an important component of the urea cycle to prevent build up of neurotoxic ammonium in the blood.
• Carglumic acid is an orphan drug and a derivative of N-acetylglutamate that activates the first enzyme in the urea cycle that is responsible for removal and detoxification of ammonia, making this drug a valuable agent for therapy of hyperammonemia caused by rare forms of urea cycle defects. Clinical experience with carglumic acid is limited, but it has not been linked to significant serum enzyme elevations during therapy or to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.
• Take before a meal. Take carglumic acid right before eating.
• Take with plain water. Carglumic acid tablets are dispersed in water to produce an oral suspension and should not be swallowed whole.
• Established Pharmacologic Class [EPC] - Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase 1 Activator
• Mechanisms of Action [MoA] - Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase 1 Activators
