Carglumic acid is a Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase 1 (CPS 1) allosteric modulator. CPS1 is found in the mitochondria and is the first enzyme of the urea cycle, which converts ammonia into urea. Carglumic acid acts as a replacement for NAG in NAGS deficiency patients by activating CPS1 but it does not help to regulate the urea cycle. Carglumic acid under the trade name Carbaglu indicated as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of acute hyperammonemia due to the deficiency of the hepatic enzyme N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS). In addition, as maintenance therapy for the treatment of chronic hyperammonemia due to the deficiency of the hepatic enzyme N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS). This rare genetic disorder results in elevated blood levels of ammonia, which can eventually cross the blood–brain barrier and cause neurologic problems, cerebral edema, coma, and death.

Sample Use Guides
Adult Dosage: The recommended initial dose for acute hyperammonemia is 100 mg/kg/day to 250 mg/kg/day. Concomitant administration of other ammonia lowering therapies is recommended. Dosing should be titrated based on individual patient plasma ammonia levels and clinical symptoms.
The recommended maintenance dose should be titrated to target normal plasma ammonia level for age. Based on limited data in 22 patients receiving maintenance treatment with Carbaglu in a retrospective case series, maintenance doses were usually less than 100 mg/kg/day. The total daily dose should be divided into 2 to 4 doses and rounded to the nearest 100 mg. (i.e. half a Carbaglu Tablet)
Pediatric Dosage: The recommended initial dose for acute hyperammonemia is 100 mg/kg/day to 250 mg/kg/day. Concomitant administration of other ammonia lowering therapies is recommended. Dosing should be titrated based on individual patient plasma ammonia levels and clinical symptoms. The recommended maintenance dose should be titrated to target normal plasma ammonia level for age. Based on limited data in 22 patients receiving maintenance treatment with Carbaglu in a retrospective case series, maintenance doses were usually less than 100 mg/kg/day. The total daily dose should be divided into 2 to 4 doses.

Carglumic acid-treated (1, 5, 10 mM) and untreated cancer cells were stained with propidium iodide to determine DNA contents in the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines, AsPC1 and human triple-negative breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231. The results showed that carglumic acid did not induce complete cell cycle arrest. Instead, we observed more sub-G1 cells among carglumic acid-treated AsPC1 and MDA-MB-231 cells than among untreated cells, indicating that cell death occurred in response to carglumic acid. Sub-G1 cells accounted for 1.6% and 26.3% of untreated and treated AsPC1 cells, respectively , and for 1.8% and 12.8% of untreated and treated MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. In order to further determine whether cancer cells under go cell death through apoptosis after carglumic acid treatment, we measured caspase activity in AsPC1 cells treated with carglumic acid. The results showed that caspase-3 activity increased in a dose-dependent manner. Together, these data suggest that carglumic acid inhibits cancer cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis.
