The Importance of Enzyme Inhibition Kinetics for the Effect of Thrombin Inhibitors in a Rat Model of Arterial Thrombosis

Abstract: SummaryThe relation between the antithrombotic effect in vivo, and the inhibition constant (K i) and the association rate constant (k on) in vitro was investigated for eight different thrombin inhibitors. The carotid arteries of anaesthetized rats were exposed to FeCl3 for 1 h, and the thrombus size was determined from the amount of incorporated 125I- fibrinogen. The thrombin inhibitors were given intravenously, and complete concentration- and/or dose-response curves were constructed. Despi… Show more

“…antithrombotic potency to SSR182289A in rat venous, AV shunt, and arterial thrombosis models (Berry et al, 1994). Another factor that appears to influence the relative antithrombotic properties of thrombin inhibitors is the association rate constant for the enzyme (Elg et al, 1997). The principal finding of this article is the demonstration that SSR182289A produces dose-dependent antithrombotic activity following oral administration in five different thrombosis models.…”

“…Why desulphato-hirudin may offer an advantage in the treatment of this category of patients has not been shown in similar trials with other direct thrombin inhibitors. On a molar basis, desulphatohirudin increases activated partial thromboplastin time more than other direct thrombin inhibitors in animal and in-vitro models [20,21] . Antithrombin decreased consistently during infusion in the heparin group only.…”

“…For example, heparin is also less potent in the rat model, because smaller decreases in thrombus mass were observed at even larger prolongations in the APTT than those attained in the rabbit model. 15,17,21 Furthermore, preliminary studies show that neither anti-TF antibodies nor active siteblocked F.VIIa is inhibitory in the rat FeCl 3 model (C.J. Refino, unpublished observations, 1999), suggesting that coagulation in this model is not TF-mediated.…”
