DB08835 - Spaglumic Acid


Identification
Name Spaglumic Acid
Accession Number DB08835
Type small molecule
Description Spaglumic acid is the ?-aspartyl isoform of N-Acetyl-l-aspartylglutamate (isospaglumic Acid is N-(N-Acetyl-l-?-aspartyl)-l-glutamic acid). In eye drops, spaglumic acid is either a magnesium or sodium salt of N-Acetyl-l-aspartylglutamate. Spaglumic acid is a mast cell stabilizer. Thus it is used in allergic conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis. Specifically spaglumic acid is approved in Portugal under the brand name Naabak and in Greece under the brand name Naaxia for use in patients with allergic conjunctivitis.

Pharmacology
Indication Used in patients with allergic conjunctivitis.
Mechanism of action Spaglumic acid is a mast cell stabilizer. Mast cells are involved in producing an allergic response by releasing inflammatory mediators such as histamine. Mast cell stablizers block the release of histamine and other mediators by inhibiting mast cell degranulation, which is the process of releasing these mediators. Inhibition occurs through inhibition of specific calcium channels to stabilize the mast cell and prevent degranulation.
