Identification
- Summary
Icatibant is a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist used to treat acute episodes of swelling and inflammation associated with hereditary angioedema (HAE).
- Brand Names
- Firazyr, Sajazir
- Generic Name
- Icatibant
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB06196
- Background
Icatibant (Firazyr) is a synthetic peptidomimetic drug consisting of ten amino acids, and acts as an effective and specific antagonist of bradykinin B2 receptors. It has been approved in the EU for use in hereditary angioedema, and is under investigation for a number of other conditions in which bradykinin is thought to play a significant role. Icatibant currently has orphan drug status in the United States and FDA approved on August 25, 2011.

Icatibant is a potent, specific, competitive, and selective peptidomimetic bradykinin beta2-receptor antagonist (pA2 = 9.04). It has a modified peptide structure, and is the first bradykinin receptor antagonist to act on the guinea-pig trachea without demonstrating agonist effects. It also inhibits aminopeptidase N (Ki = 9.1 μM). If an IV dose of 0.4 and 0.8 mg/kg was infused over 4 hours, one may observe an inhibited response to bradykinin challenge for 6 - 8 hours following completion of infusion.
- Mechanism of action
Bradykinin is a peptide-based hormone that is formed locally in tissues in response to a trauma and acts to increases vessel permeability, dilates blood vessels and causes smooth muscle cells to contract. Bradykinin plays an important role in the mediation of pain as surplus bradykinin is partly responsible for producing signs of inflammation by activating bradykinin B2 receptors. In patients with HAE, they have an absent or dysfunctional C1-esterase inhibitor. This inhibitor is responsible for the production of bradykinin in which displacement of bradykinin from B2 receptors by icatibant has an inhibitory effect on the receptor for a relatively long time.
Target Actions Organism AB2 bradykinin receptor antagonistHumans UAminopeptidase N inhibitorHumans - Absorption
The absolute bioavailability of icatibant following a 30 mg subcutaneous dose is approximately 97%. Maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) of 974 ± 280 ng/mL was reached when a single subcutaneous dose of 30 mg was administered. The AUC was 2165 ± 568 ng∙hr/mL. Icatibant did not accumulate following multiple doses.
- Volume of distribution
Vdss, subcutaneous injection = 29.0 ± 8.7 L.
- Protein binding
Not Available
- Metabolism
Icatibant is metabolized by proteolytic enzymes into inactive metabolites. The cytochrome P450 enzyme system is not involved with the metabolism of icatibant.
- Route of elimination
Urine (<10% unchanged)
- Half-life
After subcutaneous administration, mean elimination half-life was 1.4 ± 0.4 hours.
- Clearance
Plasma clearance following subcutaneous administration was 245 ± 58 mL/min.

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbacavir Abacavir may decrease the excretion rate of Icatibant which could result in a higher serum level. Aceclofenac Aceclofenac may decrease the excretion rate of Icatibant which could result in a higher serum level. Acemetacin Acemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Icatibant which could result in a higher serum level. Acetaminophen Acetaminophen may decrease the excretion rate of Icatibant which could result in a higher serum level. Acetazolamide Acetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Icatibant which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Acetylsalicylic acid The risk or severity of angioedema can be increased when Acetylsalicylic acid is combined with Icatibant. Aclidinium Icatibant may decrease the excretion rate of Aclidinium which could result in a higher serum level. Acrivastine Icatibant may decrease the excretion rate of Acrivastine which could result in a higher serum level. Acyclovir Acyclovir may decrease the excretion rate of Icatibant which could result in a higher serum level. Adefovir dipivoxil Adefovir dipivoxil may decrease the excretion rate of Icatibant which could result in a higher serum level.
