QUICK LINKS

Melagatran is an antithrombic agent which functions by preventing tissue factor expression in human platelet-monocyte heterotypic complexes. Studies indicate that Melagatran causes fibrinolytic activity fairly comparable to that observed in platelet-poor models which consist of tissue factor-induced clots. In addition, these studies determined that the fibrinolysis ability of Melagatran is not affected by the presence of platelets. Melagatran effects platelet aggregation in a dose dependent manner, with low concentration having the greater effectiveness. Also it has been suggested that Melagatran can differentially inhibit γ-thrombin/PAR-4 receptors over α-thrombin/PAR-1 receptors.
