ancrod
Ancrod (current brand name: Viprinex) is a defibrinogenating agent derived from the venom of the Malayan pit viper. Defibrinogenating blood produces an anticoagulant effect. Ancrod is not approved or marketed in any country, but is being investigated as a stroke treatment in worldwide clinical trials. In January 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted 'fast-track status' for investigating ancrod use in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke, a life-threatening condition caused by the blockage of blood vessels supplying blood and oxygen to portions of the brain, for which phase III trials are being conducted.
== Marketing history ==
Under the brand name Arwin, ancrod was marketed for several decades in Germany and Austria, until it was withdrawn in the 1980s. Arwin was a brand name of Knoll Pharma. Neurobiological Technologies, Inc., currently holds the worldwide rights to ancrod under the brand name Viprinex. Previously, the rights to Viprinex were held by Empire Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, and Knoll AG, developers of this investigational drug.
On 1 August 2005, Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. (NTI) agreed with Nordmark Arzneimittel GmbH & Co KG (Nordmark) and Baxter Pharmaceutical Solutions, LLC (Baxter) to manufacture, fill and package Viprinex for NTI's Phase III clinical trials in acute ischemic stroke. Nordmark will manufacture the biological active ingredient, ancrod.
