  2. Apixaban - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apixaban

    [9] [10] [11] It is used as an alternative to warfarin to prevent blood clots following hip or knee replacement and in those with a history of prior clots [9] [11] and does not require monitoring by blood tests [9] or dietary restrictions. [12] It is taken by mouth. [9] Common side effects include bleeding and nausea.

  3. Direct factor Xa inhibitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_factor_Xa_inhibitors

    Side effects may include bleeding, most commonly from the nose, gastrointestinal tract (GI) or genitourinary system. [2] Compared to the risk of bleeding with warfarin use, direct factor Xa inhibitors have a higher risk of GI bleeding, but lower risk of bleeding in the brain. [2]

  4. Warfarin necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warfarin_necrosis

    The coagulation cascade.. Warfarin necrosis usually occurs three to five days after drug therapy is begun, and a high initial dose increases the risk of its development. [3]: 122 Warfarin-induced necrosis can develop both at sites of local injection and - when infused intravenously - in a widespread pattern.

  5. Discovery and development of direct Xa inhibitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

    The 13F moiety intermediate before apixaban was fully developed. During the SAR development of apixaban there were three groups that needed to be tested to attain maximum potency and bioavailability. The first group to be tested was the non-active site as it needs to be stabilized before SAR testing on the p-methoxyphenyl group (S1 binding moiety).

  6. Anticoagulant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticoagulant

    The INR test measures the time it takes for a clot to form in a blood sample relative to a standard. An INR value of 1 indicates a level of coagulation equivalent to that of an average patient not taking warfarin, and values greater than 1 indicate a longer clotting time and, thus, a longer bleeding time. Assessing bleeding risk

  7. Direct thrombin inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_thrombin_inhibitor

    Thrombin demonstrates a high level of allosteric regulation. [2] Allosterism in thrombin is regulated by the exosites 1 and 2 and the sodium binding site. A recent patent review has shown that the general consensus among researchers is that allosteric inhibitors may provide a more regulatable anticoagulant. [3]

    Researchers followed 21 people with an average age of 60 who also had prediabetes, a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

  9. Thrombin time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombin_time

    The thrombin time (TT), also known as the thrombin clotting time (TCT), is a blood test that measures the time it takes for a clot to form in the plasma of a blood sample containing anticoagulant, after an excess of thrombin has been added. [1] It is used to diagnose blood coagulation disorders and to assess the effectiveness of fibrinolytic ...
