thrombin inhibitor 5

Thrombin inhibitor 5 (compound 385) is a thrombin inhibitor with IC50 values ranging from 0.1 μM to 1 μM, suitable for venous thromboembolism research[1].

Thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP-14) is a 14-amino acid peptide agonist of the α-thrombin receptor. It induces aggregation of washed platelets as well as platelets in citrated and hirudin plasma. TRAP-14 (100 μM) increases the cytosolic calcium concentration in isolated guinea pig pulmonary smooth muscle cells 5-fold over baseline. It increases pulmonary arterial pressure in isolated guinea pig lung when used at a concentration of 1 μM, which is comparable to the effect induced by 10 nM α-thrombin. TRAP-14 also induces contraction of isolated rat aortic rings and increases endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in a dose-dependent manner, an effect that is reversed by the ETA antagonist BQ-123 and the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NNA .

R 59-022 hydrochloride (DKGI-I hydrochloride) is a 5-HT Receptor antagonist that activates protein kinase C (PKC).R 59-022 hydrochloride is a DGK inhibitor (IC50:2.8 µM) that inhibits the phosphorylation of OAG to OAPA.R 59-022 enhances thrombin-induced triglyceride production in platelets and inhibits the production of phosphatidic acid in neutrophils. R 59-022 enhances thrombin-induced diglyceride production in platelets and inhibits phosphatidic acid production in neutrophils.

Bivalirudin TFA, a synthetic 20-residue peptide, serves as a reversible inhibitor of thrombin. Its IC50 value highlights its target specificity in vitro, where, combined with Eptifibatide (8 mg/mL) at a low concentration (70 ng/mL), it significantly reduces platelet aggregation induced by thrombin (0.2 U/mL) by approximately 90% [1]. The compound demonstrates no effect on thrombin generation assay (TGA) parameters up to 10 μmol/L [2]. Additionally, it facilitates the binding of MPO to BAEC, leading to functional alterations such as increased NO consumption and enhanced MPO-mediated redox modifications [3]. In vivo studies reveal its efficacy in preventing the rise of antiheparin/PF4 antibody IgG levels in rats, with significant findings from the toxicokinetic assessment signaling its safety profile at tested doses, although higher doses resulted in fatalities [4][5]. In clinical trials, its antithrombotic effects were explored, comparing it with alternatives like Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in a Phase 4 study.
