Repositioning Candidate Details

Candidate ID: R1080
Source ID: DB06689
Source Type: approved
Compound Type: small molecule
Compound Name: Ethanolamine oleate
Synonyms: Ethamolin; Ethanolamine oleate; Monoethanolamine oleate; Oldamin
Molecular Formula: C20H41NO3
SMILES: NCCO.CCCCCCCC\C=C/CCCCCCCC(O)=O
Structure:
DrugBank Description: Ethanolamine oleate is a mild sclerosing agent. It is composed of ethanolamine, a basic substance, which when combined with oleic acid forms a clear, straw to pale yellow colored, deliquescent oleate.
CAS Number: 2272-11-9
Molecular Weight: 343.5444
DrugBank Indication: For the treatment of patients with esophageal varices that have recently bled, to prevent rebleeding.
DrugBank Pharmacology: When injected intravenously, ethanolamine oleate acts primarily by irritation of the intimal endothelium of the vein and produces a sterile dose-related inflammatory response. This results in fibrosis and possible occlusion of the vein. Ethanolamine oleate also rapidly diffuses through the venous wall and produces a dose-related extravascular inflammatory reaction.
DrugBank MoA: The oleic acid component of ethanolamine oleate is responsible for the inflammatory response, and may also activate coagulation in vivo by release of tissue factor and activation of Hageman factor. The ethanolamine component, however, may inhibit fibrin clot formation by chelating calcium, so that a procoagulant action of ethanolamine oleate has not been demonstrated.
Targets: Calcium ions chelator; Coagulation factor XII activator
Inclusion Criteria: Therapeutic strategy associated
