Oxytocin Analog · Obstetrics
Carbetocin (Duratocin)

Long-acting oxytocin analog for postpartum hemorrhage prevention.

Mechanism

Synthetic, heat-stable oxytocin analog with longer half-life. Stimulates uterine contraction following delivery to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.

Research areas
  • Postpartum hemorrhage prevention (C-section, vaginal delivery)
Considerations
  • FDA-approved (also widely used internationally).
  • Single-dose use only.

Antiplatelet · Cardiology
Eptifibatide (Integrilin)

GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor cyclic peptide for ACS and PCI.

Mechanism

Cyclic heptapeptide derived from rattlesnake venom that reversibly blocks platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors, preventing fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation.

Research areas
  • Acute coronary syndromes
  • PCI
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Bleeding risk; renal adjustment required.
