Identification
- Generic Name
- Peginesatide
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB08894
- Background
Peginesatide is a synthetic peptide attached to polyethylene glycol for the treatment of anemia. The polyethylene glycol moiety helps make the drug less immunogenic and prolongs its plasma half-life. Chemically, peginesatide is designed to mimic the pharmacological activity of erythropoietin, but is not a replica of the structure itself. Peginesatide consists of two 21-amino acid chains that are covalently bonded by a linker derived from iminodiacetic acid and β-alanine. FDA approved March 27, 2012.

Pharmacology
- Indication
Peginesatide is used for the treatment of anemia due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adult patients on dialysis

Avoid life-threatening adverse drug eventsImprove clinical decision support with information on contraindications & blackbox warnings, population restrictions, harmful risks, & more.Avoid life-threatening adverse drug events & improve clinical decision support.- Pharmacodynamics
Peginesatide increases the reticulocyte count and levels of hemoglobin. It also increases RBC count, hematocrit, and soluble transferrin receptor protein in a dose-dependent manner.
- Mechanism of action
Peginesatide binds to and activates the human erythropoietin receptor and stimulates erythropoiesis in human red cell precursors in vitro.
Target Actions Organism AErythropoietin receptor stimulatorHumans - Absorption
Tmax, SubQ dose = 48 hours;
Bioavailability, SubQ dose = 46%; Peginesatide does not accumulate when administered every 4 weeks following intravenous or subcutaneous administration.- Volume of distribution
IV dose, dialysis patients = 34.9 ± 13.8 mL/kg;
- Protein binding
Peginesatide does not bind to serum albumin or lipoprotein as demonstrated in in-vitro studies.
- Metabolism
Preclinical radiolabeled peginesatide study indicated that peginesatide is not metabolized.
- Route of elimination
Peginesatide administered intravenously or subcutaneously is primarily excreted via urine. Most of the excreted dose is in the form of unchanged drug. Elimination from the plasma is biphasic and rapid from vascular compartments. In contrast, the drug is selectively retained in sites of erythropoiesis like the bone marrow.
- Half-life
IV dose, healthy subjects = 25.0 ± 7.6 hours; SubQ, healthy subjects = 53.0 ± 17.7 hours; IV dose, dialysis patients = 47.9 ± 16.5 hours;
- Clearance
Systemic clearance, IV dose, dialysis patients = 0.5 ± 0.2 mL/hr•kg
- Adverse Effects

The most common adverse events (≥10%) are dyspnea, diarrhea, nausea, cough, and arteriovenous fistula site complication.

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