Background

Indocyanine Green is a water soluble, tricarbocyanine dye with a peak spectral absorption at 800 nm. The chemical name for Indocyanine Green is 1 H-Benz[e]indolium, 2-[7-[1,3-dihydro-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-2H-benz[e] indol-2-ylidene]-1,3,5-heptatrienyl]-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-,hydroxide, inner salt, sodium salt. Indocyanine Green for Injection USP has a pH of approximately 6.5 when reconstituted. Each vial of Indocyanine Green for Injection USP contains 25 mg of Indocyanine Green as a sterile lyophilized powder with no more than 5% sodium iodide.

Mechanism of action

Indocyanine Green for Injection USP undergoes no significant extrahepatic or enterohepatic circulation; simultaneous arterial and venous blood estimations have shown negligible renal, peripheral, lung or cerebro-spinal uptake of the dye. Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is taken up from the plasma almost exclusively by the hepatic parenchymal cells and is secreted entirely into the bile. After biliary obstruction, the dye appears in the hepatic lymph, independently of the bile, suggesting that the biliary mucosa is sufficiently intact to prevent diffusion of the dye, though allowing diffusion of bilirubin. These characteristics make Indocyanine Green for Injection USP a helpful index of hepatic function.

Absorption

It has a peak spectral absorption at about 800 nm.

Volume of distribution

ICG distribution into the mouse fetus can be enhanced when used concomitantly with OATP or P-glycoprotein inhibitors. The greater distribution within individual fetal tissues is likely related to ICG's greater transplacental transfer.

Protein binding

98%

Metabolism
Not Available
Route of elimination

The dye is excreted in bile in unconjugated form.

Half-life

ICG has a half-life of 150 to 180 seconds.

Clearance

Clearance of dyes which are removed from the circulation principally by the liver constitutes one of the best methods for evaluating hepatic function.
