Name | Argatroban |
Description | Argatroban (MCI-9038), a specific thrombin inhibitor, which is a non-heparin anticoagulant, prevents the formation of thrombi. |
In vitro | In a rat distal cerebral artery occlusion model, administration of Argatroban at a dose of 0.3 mg/hour significantly reduced the number of microthrombi following artery occlusion. Argatroban treatment (at 0.1 and 0.3 mg/hour) notably reversed the decline in local cerebral blood flow in rats with distal cerebral artery occlusion. |
In vivo | Argatroban directly induces phenotypic transformation in vascular smooth muscle cells, upregulating the expression of myofilament-related proteins, PAI-1, and β-actin mRNA. In animal models with thrombosis rich in platelets and erythrocytes, Argatroban (ED50=125 μg/kg) demonstrates antithrombotic effects. It exhibits antithrombin activity across a range (Ki=5 nM-39 nM). |
