Inhibitor (DX-9065a): Implications for Interventional Use
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heparin has been conventionally used as an anticoagulant for medical and surgical indications. Because factor Xa is an essential component of the prothrombinase complex and leads to the generation of thrombin, its inhibition has become a focus of newer antithrombotic drug development. The in vitro anticoagulant profile of DX-9065a, a synthetic direct factor Xa inhibitor, was studied using activated clotting time assay, thrombelastography, and global clotting tests, such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), diluted aPTT, Heptest, Heptest-HI, dilute Russell's viper venom time (dRVVIT), thrombin time, ecarin clotting time, and amidolytic anti-Xa assay. In addition, the effect of DX-9065a on platelet aggregation and inhibition of thrombin generation markers (FPA, Fl + 2, and TAT) were studied. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of DX-9065a were also studied in a non-human primate (Macaca mulatta) model. DX-9065a produced a concentration-dependent increase in the Hemochron celite ACT and HemoTec ACT. Clotting times of 538 + 19 and 401 ± 12, respectively, were

Studies on the Different Modes of Action of the Anticoagulant Protease Inhibitors DX-9065a and Argatroban I. EFFECTS ON THROMBIN GENERATION*□S
The present study began with mathematical modeling of how inhibitors of both factor Xa (fXa) and thrombin affect extrinsic pathway-triggered blood coagulation. Numerical simulation demonstrated a stronger inhibition of thrombin generation by a thrombin inhibitor than a fXa inhibitor, but both prolonged clot time to a similar extent when they were given an equal dissociation constant (30 nM) for...
متن کاملAntithrombotic effects of DX-9065a, a direct factor Xa inhibitor: a comparative study in humans versus low molecular weight heparin.
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that TF may play a causal role in acute coronary syndromes, and may be an important therapeutic target. Several inhibitors of TF, coagulation factors VIIa and Xa are under investigation as novel antithrombotic approaches. We compared the antithrombotic effects of DX-9065a, a new FXa inhibitor, vs. enoxaparin. METHODS AND RESULTS The protocol was an open-lab...
متن کاملLack of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 enhances the preventive effect of DX-9065a, a selective factor Xa inhibitor, on venous thrombus and acute pulmonary embolism in mice.
We have studied the physiological effects of DX-9065a, a selective factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor, and heparin in experimental venous thrombus and acute pulmonary embolism. Moreover, the effects of these compounds were also evaluated under the condition of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) deficiency. A thrombus was induced in the murine femoral vein. The compounds prolonged the time to occl...
متن کاملRole of coagulation factor Xa and protease-activated receptor 2 in human mesangial cell proliferation.
BACKGROUND Fibrin deposition and mesangial cell proliferation are frequently observed in the active type of mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis. Coagulation factors, such as factor V and factor Xa are colocalized with fibrin in the mesangial areas in active type of IgA nephropathy with mesangial cell proliferation. In this study, therefore, we studied the role of factor Xa and its receptor...
متن کاملCharacteristics of gastrointestinal absorption of DX-9065a, a new synthetic anticoagulant.
DX-9065a, a newly synthesized anticoagulant that selectively inhibits factor Xa, is a zwitterion and has characteristics of high water solubility and low lipophilicity. We predicted the fraction absorbed (Fa) of DX-9065a to be approximately 15-35% in humans, based on the boundary layer theory using the intestinal perfusion method in rats. However, human oral bioavailability was 2-3% in clinical...
