Effects of protease inhibitors in experimental septic shock.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endotoxin shock and contact system activation were used to study effects of hirudin, antithrombin III, eglin C, aprotinin, and [Arg15]-aprotinin in anesthetized pigs. Alterations in the systemic and pulmonary circulation were in part prevented by administration of the inhibitors.

Successful treatment with continuous enteral protease inhibitor in a patient with severe septic shock.
OBJECTIVE The mortality rate among patients with septic shock is high despite current therapy. We present a case of Fournier's gangrene and septic shock at 4 years post-heart transplantation that was reversed by "continuous enteral feeding" of the digestive enzyme inhibitor, gabexate mesilate. Recently, powerful pancreatic digestive proteases in the lumen of the intestine have been identified a...
متن کاملResistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملScreening Efficacy of Available HIV Protease Inhibitors on COVID-19 Protease
Background and Aim: Advent of COVID-19 attracted the attentions of researchers to develop drugs for its treatment. Besides efforts on developing new drugs, screening available drugs for efficacy on COVID-19 could be an urgent action of initiating its pharmacotherapy. In this study, efficacy of HIV protease inhibitors on COVID-19 protease has been examined. Methods: Molecular docking based scree...
متن کاملTissue factor pathway inhibitor blocks cellular effects of endotoxin by binding to endotoxin and interfering with transfer to CD14.
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a Kunitz-type plasma protease inhibitor that inhibits factor Xa and the factor VIIa/tissue factor catalytic complex. It plays an important role in feedback inhibition of the coagulation cascade (Broze, Annu Rev Med 46:103, 1995). TFPI has also been used successfully to prevent lethality and attenuate coagulopathic responses in a baboon model of septic s...
متن کاملTissue factor pathway inhibitor: structure, biology and involvement in disease.
Tissue factor (TF)-initiated coagulation plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of many diseases, including cancer and inflammation. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a plasma Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor, which modulates initiations of coagulation induced by TF. In a factor (F) Xa-dependent feedback system, TFPI binds directly and inhibits the TF-FVII/FVIIa complex. N...
