Catabolism of hirudin and thrombin-hirudin complexes in the rat.
The metabolic fate of the anticoagulant protein, hirudin, and its complex with thrombin are presently unknown. Therefore we have labelled hirudin and human thrombin-hirudin complex with the residualizing label dilactitol-125I-tyramine (*I-DLT) in order to identify their tissue sites of catabolism in the rat. The rapid plasma clearance of hirudin after intravenous injection was unaffected by *I-...
متن کاملInhibition With Hirudin
Background The degree to which antithrombotic drugs suppress thrombin generation is unknown. Because hirudin, unlike antithrombin III, binds intravascular thrombin rapidly and selectively to yield a circulating inactive complex of 3to 4-hour half-life, we used intravenous hirudin in humans to investigate the course of thrombin generation during and early after anticoagulation with this potent, ...
متن کاملEfficiently Than Recombinant Hirudin
Background Although the indirect thrombin inhibitor heparin and the more potent direct inhibitor hirudin are useful in preventing thrombosis, a substantial opportunity remains for improving the thrombus selectivity of thrombin inhibitors. Methods and Results To explore the effect of targeting an antithrombin to the surface of a clot, we covalently linked recombinant hirudin to the Fab' (or IgG)...
متن کاملGeneration of anti-hirudin antibodies in heparin-induced thrombocytopenic patients treated with r-hirudin.
BACKGROUND Hirudin is a small protein with strong thrombin inhibition that may be antigenic. The generation and disappearance of anti-hirudin antibodies were investigated in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia who were treated with recombinant hirudin (r-hirudin) for >/=5 days. METHODS AND RESULTS The IgA, IgE, IgG, and IgM isotypes of anti-hirudin antibodies were determined by ELI...
متن کاملTreatment of an acute flush reaction caused by subcutaneous r-hirudin with pegylated hirudin.
We report a patient who was treated with recombinant (r)-hirudin for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and developed a flush reaction twice upon re-exposure to 25 mg of subcutaneous r-hirudin. Antihirudin IgG antibodies developed. The patient received 50 mg of PEG-hirudin subcutaneously over 2 days. No side-effects occurred. The level of IgG antihirudin antibodies increased. Ecarin clotting time...
