Nicaraven is a hydroxyl radical scavenger with antivasospastic and neuroprotective effects. Chugai (the Japanese subsidiary of Roche) is developing nicaraven (Antevas), a water-soluble antioxidant, for the potential treatment of disorders caused by acute cerebrovascular diseases. A registration application was filed in April 1995, and in April 2002, nicaraven was still awaiting registration in Japan. By August 2002, Chugai had filed an NDA in Japan for the additional indication of subarachnoidal bleeding.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

4 g nicaraven infused intravenously for 6-8 hours once a day

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

The antiplatelet activities in vitro of nicaraven were examined. The concentrations of nicaraven tested were 3.50 x 10(-5) mol/L, 1.75 x 10(-4) mol/L, 3.50 x 10(-4) mol/L, and 1.75 x 10(-3) mol/L, respectively. The maximum aggregation rate induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was significantly inhibited by nicaraven at concentration ranges of 3.50 x 10(-4) mol/L or higher in the healthy volunteer platelets. The maximum aggregation rate induced by collagen was significantly inhibited by 1.75 x 10(-3) mol/L of nicaraven. Using platelets from patients with cerebral thrombosis, the maximum aggregation rate induced by ADP was significantly inhibited by 1.75 x 10(-3) mol/L of nicaraven. Furthermore, the maximum aggregation rate induced by collagen were significantly reduced by 1.75 x 10(-3) mol/L of nicaraven.
