Anticoagulant activity of synthetic hirudin peptides.
Synthetic peptides based on the COOH-terminal 21 residues of hirudin were prepared in order to 1) evaluate the role of this segment in hirudin action toward thrombin, 2) define the shortest peptide derivative with anticoagulant activity, and 3) investigate the role of tyrosine sulfation in the peptides' inhibitory activities. A hirudin derivative of 20 amino acids, Hir45-64 (derived from residu...
متن کاملMotogenic activity of IGD-containing synthetic peptides.
Although the IGD amino acid motif (iso-gly-asp) is a highly conserved feature of the fibronectin type I module, no biological activity has as yet been ascribed to it. We have previously reported that the gelatin-binding domain of fibronectin stimulates the migration of human skin fibroblasts into native, but not denatured, type I collagen substrata. Two IGD-containing type I modules are present...
متن کاملA novel stearic acid-modified hirudin peptidomimetic with improved pharmacokinetic properties and anticoagulant activity
A novel hirudin isoform 3 mimetic peptide, named peptide S2, has been prepared by introduction of a stearic acid modification. Peptide S2 exhibited superior inhibitory activity to hirulog-1 (Bivariludin) and showed significantly higher anticoagulant potency in vivo. Peptide S2 elevated the thrombin time, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time of rat and human plasma more eff...
متن کاملHirudin as an anticoagulant for both haematology and chemistry tests
Hirudin, an extract from the leech, has powerful antithrombin activity affecting the blood coagulation pathway. We evaluated the usefulness of hirudin in anticoagulating specimens for routine laboratory tests. Results using blood anticoagulated with hirudin corresponded well with results with blood treated with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in the complete blood count (CBC), including...
متن کاملActivity of synthetic peptides from the Tat protein of human
To determine which of the 86 amino acids in the Tat protein of human inmunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are important for transactivation, peptides from Tat were synthesized and their activity was measured in cells containing a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene under control of the HIV long terminal repeat promoter. Although the Tat sequence contains arginineand cysteine-rich s...
