Lagerstabile fibrinogenpræparater

A storage-stable, lyophilised or deep-frozen liquid, fibrinogen (FBG) composition (A), for the rapid production of a ready-for-use tissue adhesive solution (B), contains a solubiliser (I) for FBG. The time for reconstitution of lyophilised (A) by dissolution in water at room temperature to give a solution containing ≥ 70 mg/ml FBG is up to 15 (preferably < 7) minutes. Deep-frozen (A) can be thawed at 0-25 (preferably < 20) degrees C to a solution containing ≥ 70 mg/ml of FBG. (B) forms fibrin clots with a physiological fibrin structure after mixing with thrombin-calcium chloride solution. Also claimed is (B) obtained by reconstitution or thawing of (A), as is a lyophilised FBG preparation (A') containing (I) having no cytotoxic action at the dose used. (A) contains (I) at 0.003-3 ( preferably 0.7-1.4) mg/g of FBG. (B), after mixing with the same volume of 4 IU/ml thrombin/40 mu mol/ml CaCl2 solution, forms a transparent, tough elastic fibrin clot in at most 10 minutes at 37 degrees C. (B) has no cytotoxicity and, on dilution with the same volume of isotonic saline, shows no detectable harmful effect on fibroblasts. (A') contains (I) at 0.12-12 (preferably 0.28-5.6) mmol/g of FBG. (I) is (a) a benzene, pyridine, piperidine, pyrimidine, morpholine, pyrrole, imidazole, pyrazole, furan, thiazole or purine derivative, having no cytotoxicity at the concentration used in (A), (b) a vitamin or (c) a nucleo-base, nucleoside or nucleotide. (I) is especially benzoic acid, p-aminobenzoic acid (vitamin H'), hydroxybenzoic acid, hydroxysalicylic acid, phenylalanine, procaine, niacin, niacinamide, picolinic acid, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), hydroxypyridine, pyridine-dicarboxylic acid, pyridine-sulphonic acid, piperidine-carboxylic acid, etc.
