Dabigatran ethyl ester is a one of the intermediate, which is formed during metabolic reactions from dabigatran etexilate. Dabigatran ethyl ester forming under the action of intestinal carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) further is hydrolyzed by CES1 with formation of active drug, thrombin inhibitor, dabigatranand. Dabigatran ethyl ester is a much stronger inhibitor of ribosyldihydronicotinamide dehydrogenase, than dabigatran. — NCATS
