OEL Fastrac Catalog

Esketamine is a cyclohexanone derivative used for anesthesia, analgesia, and the treatment of depression for patients unresponsive to conventional antidepressants. Esketamine, also known as S(+)-ketamine, is the more active enantiomer of the ketamine racemate. The mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block Nmethyl- D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and also interact with opioid, monoamine, adenosine, and other purinergic receptors. Esketamine has a 3- to 4-fold higher affinity for NDMA receptors than the R- enantiomer of ketamine, arketamine, and thus, results in noncompetitive binding to NMDA glutamate receptors. The antidepressant effects of esketamine is thought to be related to its anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in decreasing inducible nitric oxide synthases.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.

Why do you need this OEL Fastrac monograph?

OEL Fastrac monographs are a cost-effective and convenient way to meet the requirements for PDEs (ADEs) contained in the EMA Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities (EMA/CHMP/CVMP/SWP/169430/2012), as well as PIC/S and ANVISA requirements, and to obtain the following information:

• The numerical OEL and control band assignment needed to determine the level of required engineering controls and personal protective equipment
• A listing of all cited references utilized in the derivation of the OEL and ADE
• An expert review and discussion with respect to the critical endpoints of concern, the rationale for the choice of endpoints, and dose that is to be used in the derivation of the ADE (PDE), as required by the EMA's Guideline on setting health-based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities
