e-Amino-n-caproic Acid (EACA) is an antifibrinolytic agent shown to enhance the activation of urinary-type and tissue-type plasminogen, while inhibiting plasminogen activation induced by streptokinase through a kringle-dependent mechanism. Believed to act as a lysine analog that competitively inhibits basic carboxypeptidases, and promotes the rapid dissociation of plasmin by inhibiting activation of plasminogen by streptokinase. Incorporation of e-Amino-n-caproic Acid into short polypeptide fragments with hydrophobic amino acids yielded cytotoxic compounds against MCF-7 breast cells and fibroblast cells. These factors make e-Amino-n-caproic Acid a potentially useful compound for research in areas such as: oncology, immunology, and in the general elucidation of biochemical pathways.
