A novel fibrinolytic peptide (Hannahpep) was isolated and purified from the venom of the Indian King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) by thin-layer chromatography followed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The MW of the peptide was found to be 610 Da and the amino acid sequence of Hannahpep was determined to be Arg, His, Ala, Arg, His, Asp. Hannahpep produced defibrinogenating ...

Thrombus lysis is the consequence of a restricted number of reactions localized on the surface of fibrin and cell membranes. A functional defect or an insufficient fibrinolytic response may lead to thrombosis with severe or fatal clinical consequences. Despite this clinical need, and real progress in the knowledge of the different components of this system (plasminogen activators, inhibitors an...

The double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized crossover study was performed in 29 atherosclerotic men (35 to 70 years old) suffering from cerebral atherosclerosis and chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency to elucidate the effect of time-released garlic powder tablets Allicor on platelet aggregation and serum fibrinolytic activity. It has been demonstrated that Allicor 14-days treatment signi...

Background: Coastal areas have a high bacterial diversity, which can be used as source of pharmaceutical substances, including the fibrinolytic enzyme. Fibrinolytic enzymes lyse blood clots by degrading fibrin. These are important for treating circulatory disorders, e.g., pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and myocardial infarction. Objective: This study aimed to determine activity crude...

Bacterial fibrinolytic enzymes find great applications to treat and prevent cardiovascular diseases. The novel fibrinolytic enzymes from food grade organisms are useful for thrombolytic therapy. This study reports fibrinolytic enzyme production by Bacillus sp. IND7 in solid-state fermentation (SSF). In this study, cow dung was used as the cheap substrate for the production of fibrinolytic enzym...

Fibrinolytic enzymes are proteases that capable of degrading the fibrin mesh present in blood clots and can be obtained through fungal extracts. Thus, objective this paper was to seek out compare all information regarding production biochemical characterization fibrinolytic mushroom species published papers last ten years. The research carried eight national international electronic databases u...

Arterial hypoxia has been accepted as a potent stimulus to increased fibrinolytic activity in vivo. This study has shown that significant levels of arterial hypoxaemia induced in healthy volunteers by breathing a hypoxic gas mixture have failed to induce changes in the fibrinolytic enzyme system.

The severe bleeding diathesis produced by intoxication with the venom of Lonomia achelous caterpillars is characterized by prolonged bleeding from superficial skin wounds as well as massive hemorrhage into body cavities. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the crude venom and its fibrinolytic fractions on in vitro lysis of whole blood clots. Venom fractions with fibrinoly...

Fibrous adhesions remain a major sequela of abdominal surgery. The proinflammatory peptide substance P (SP), known to participate in inflammatory events, may play a key role in adhesion formation. This hypothesis was tested by using an antagonist, CJ-12,255 (Pfizer), that blocks the binding of SP to the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK-1R). Adhesion formation was surgically induced in the peritoneum o...

Androgen deficiency is associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. There is evidence that thromboembolic disease as well as myocardial infarction in hypogonadic males are mediated by low baseline fibrinolytic activity. Hypogonadism in males is associated with an enhancement of fibrinolytic inhibition via increased synthesis of the plasminogen activator inhibitor PAl 1. On ...
