Conservative Management of Dabigatran Overdose: Case Report and Review of Literature

Background: Direct thrombin inhibitors and factor Xa inhibitors are gaining popularity as alternatives to warfarin for patients requiring anticoagulation. Toxicity due to these medications is difficult to manage because overdose experience is very limited and there is no clear guidance on when or whether to use antidote in this setting.

[New anticoagulants for secondary haemostasis--anti IIa inhibitors].

In contrast to heparins and oral anticoagulants, anti IIa inhibitors (thrombin inhibitors) are able to directly inhibit the protease activity of thrombin and can thereby precisely control the blood coagulation process. Direct thrombin inhibitors are either biosimilars (r-hirudin) or synthetically produced substances (bivalirudin, argatroban, dabigatran). In 1997 r-hirudin was introduced into cl...

Global assays and the management of oral anticoagulation

Coagulation tests range from global or overall tests to assays specific to individual clotting factors and their inhibitors. Whether a particular test is influenced by an oral anticoagulant depends on the principle of the test and the type of oral anticoagulant. Knowledge on coagulation tests applicable in monitoring status and reversal of oral anticoagulation is a prerequisite when studying po...

Novel Anthranilamide-Based FXa Inhibitors: Drug Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation.

Factor Xa (FXa) plays a significant role in the blood coagulation cascade and it has become a promising target for anticoagulation drugs. Three oral direct FXa inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for treating thrombotic diseases. By structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis upon these FXa inhibitors, a series of novel anthranilamide-based FXa inhibitors were designed and synthesized. ...
