Ivabradine | CAS No: 155974-00-8 | GMP-certified suppliers
A medication that supports adult and pediatric patients with stable symptomatic chronic or dilated cardiomyopathy‑related heart failure by helping reduce the risk of worsening disease and hospitalization.
Therapeutic categories
Primary indications
- Ivabradine is indicated by the FDA to reduce the risk of hospitalization for worsening heart failure in adult patients with stable, symptomatic chronic heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, who are in sinus rhythm with resting heart rate ≥70 beats per minute and either are on maximally tolerated doses of beta-blockers or have a contraindication to beta-blocker use
- It is also indicated for treatment of stable symptomatic heart failure as a result of dilated cardiomyopathy for pediatric patients 6 months of age or more[FDA Label]
Product Snapshot
- Ivabradine is an oral small‑molecule product available mainly as tablets and solution formulations
- It is used for chronic heart failure applications in adult and pediatric patient populations
- It holds approved status in the US, EU, and Canada
Clinical Overview
Its pharmacology is defined by selective inhibition of hyperpolarization‑activated cyclic nucleotide–gated If channels in the sinoatrial node. By binding from the intracellular side to the channel pore, ivabradine decreases the If current, prolongs diastolic depolarization, and lowers pacemaker firing frequency. This reduces heart rate and myocardial oxygen demand while preserving myocardial contractility and atrioventricular conduction.
Ivabradine shows use‑dependent activity because If channels open during repolarization; thus, drug effect increases at higher intrinsic heart rates. Heart rate reduction is dose dependent up to approximately 30–40 mg daily, above which plasma concentrations plateau. Its active metabolite contributes to the overall bradycardic action.
Ivabradine is a substrate of CYP3A4, and exposure is influenced by strong inhibitors or inducers. It undergoes hepatic metabolism, with biliary and renal elimination of metabolites. Key safety considerations include dose‑related bradycardia, sinus node dysfunction, and QTc prolongation potential. Visual phenomena such as transient luminous effects may occur due to If channel expression in retinal cells. Use may require caution in combination with other QT‑prolonging agents or potent CYP3A4 modulators.
Corlanor is a commonly referenced brand in major markets.
For API procurement, sourcing should emphasize control of stereochemical purity, process‑related impurities, and residual solvent profiles, with verification against compendial specifications and assessment of supplier GMP compliance.
Identification & chemistry
| Generic name | Ivabradine |
|---|---|
| Molecule type | Small molecule |
| CAS | 155974-00-8 |
| UNII | 3H48L0LPZQ |
| DrugBank ID | DB09083 |
Pharmacology
| Summary | Ivabradine selectively inhibits hyperpolarization‑activated If channels in sinoatrial node cells, slowing diastolic depolarization and reducing pacemaker firing rate. This targeted modulation of HCN2-mediated currents lowers heart rate and decreases myocardial oxygen demand, with activity that increases at higher intrinsic rates due to use‑dependent channel binding. Its active metabolite contributes additional If‑current suppression, reinforcing the overall heart‑rate–lowering effect. |
|---|---|
| Mechanism of action | Ivabradine lowers heart rate by selectively inhibiting If channels ("funny channels") in the heart in a concentration-dependent manner without affecting any other cardiac ionic channels (including calcium or potassium). Ivabradine binds by entering and attaching to a site on the channel pore from the intracellular side and disrupts If ion current flow, which prolongs diastolic depolarization, lowering heart rate. The If currents are located in the sinoatrial node and are the home of all cardiac pacemaker activity. Ivabradine therefore lowers the pacemaker firing rate, consequently lowering heart rate and reducing myocardial oxygen demand. This allows for an improved oxygen supply and therefore mitigation of ischemia, allowing for a higher exercise capacity and reduction in angina episodes. |
| Pharmacodynamics | The funny channels (If) open during repolarization and close during depolarization, making ivabradine's activity dependent on heart rate or the closing and opening of the channels. Therefore ivabradine exhibits use-dependence and is more pharmacologically active at higher heart rates. Ivabradine exhibits a linear dose-dependent heart-rate lowering activity (bradycardic effect) until a maximum dose of 30-40mg. At higher doses, the concentration of ivabradine tends to plateau, reducing risk of serious sinus bradycardia. It has been shown that the metabolite of ivabradine lowers heart rate as well, contributing to ivabradine's overall effect. |
Targets
| Target | Organism | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 2 | Humans | inhibitor |
ADME / PK
| Absorption | It is recommended to take ivabradine with food to reduce variability in systemic exposure. Administration with food slows absorption by 1 hour, but increases systemic absorption by 20-30%. Ivabradine's oral bioavailability is about 40%. |
|---|---|
| Half-life | 2 hours. |
| Protein binding | 70% bound to plasma proteins. |
| Metabolism | Ivabradine is extensively metabolized by oxidation in the gut and liver by cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme. Its active metabolite, N-desmethylated derivative, is also metabolized by CYP 3A4. Ivabradine's affinity for CYP 3A4 is low, making it unlikely to affect the metabolism of other drugs; however potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP 3A4 may affect ivabradine's plasma concentration and pharmacodynamic effects and should not be co-administered. |
| Route of elimination | Metabolites are equally excreted in feces and urine. |
| Volume of distribution | ~100 L. |
| Clearance | Total clearance is about 400ml/min; renal clearance about 70ml/min. About 4% is excreted unchanged in urine. |
Formulation & handling
- Oral small‑molecule API with low aqueous solubility, often requiring solubility‑enhancing strategies for tablet and solution formulations.
- Solid-state stability is generally good, but light and moisture control may be needed during handling and compression due to its benzazepine structure.
- Formulation and labeling should account for known grapefruit interaction, which may affect product use conditions.
Regulatory status
| Lifecycle | The API is approaching late‑stage market maturity, with key U.S. patents expiring in August 2026. Given established availability in the US, EU, and Canada, the market is positioned for increased generic competition as these protections lapse. |

Supply Chain
| Supply chain summary | Ivabradine is supplied by a single originator manufacturer, with branded products marketed across major regions including the US, EU, and Canada. Its U.S. patents expire in 2026, indicating that generic entry is expected soon where not already available in other regions. The current landscape is therefore transitioning from exclusively originator‑led supply toward potential multi‑source competition. |

Ivabradine is a type of Anti-anginal agents
Anti-anginal agents are a category of pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used for the treatment of angina, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. These APIs target the underlying cause of angina, which is often related to insufficient blood supply to the heart.
One commonly used anti-anginal agent is nitroglycerin, which belongs to the class of organic nitrates. Nitroglycerin works by dilating blood vessels, including the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This dilation improves blood flow to the heart, relieving chest pain and reducing the workload on the heart.
Another class of anti-anginal agents is calcium channel blockers (CCBs). CCBs inhibit the movement of calcium ions into heart muscle cells and blood vessel walls. By doing so, they relax and widen blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to the heart and reducing the frequency and severity of angina episodes.
Beta blockers are also commonly used in the treatment of angina. These agents block the effects of adrenaline and other stress hormones on the heart, resulting in reduced heart rate and blood pressure. By slowing down the heart's activity, beta blockers decrease the demand for oxygen and reduce angina symptoms.
Anti-anginal agents play a crucial role in managing angina, providing relief to patients and improving their quality of life. It is important to consult with healthcare professionals for proper diagnosis, prescription, and usage of these pharmaceutical APIs to ensure safe and effective treatment of angina.
