[Coagulation changes during liver resection].

Abstract

Thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) were measured during liver resection surgery in 8 patients. TAT and PAI activities of patients under liver resection were compared with those of 11 patients under resection of esophageal carcinoma. TAT activity increased during liver resection (P < 0.001) and reached 14 times (P < 0.001) of its control value in the recovery room. PAI activity was very stable during operation, but increased to twice (P < 0.01) of its control value in the recovery room. TAT activity of patients after liver surgery in the recovery room was (P < 0.05) more than twice of that of patients after esophageal surgery. We conclude that hypercoagulable state occurred during liver resection to a greater degree compared with that observed with esophageal surgery, and that its cause might be liver resection itself.

Design, parallel synthesis, and crystal structures of pyrazinone antithrombotics as selective inhibitors of the tissue factor VIIa complex.

Structure-based drug design (SBDD) and polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) library synthesis were used to develop a series of pyrazinone inhibitors of the Tissue Factor/Factor VIIa (TF/VIIa) complex. The crystal structure of a tripeptide-alpha-ketothiazole complexed with TF/VIIa was utilized in a docking experiment to identify the pyrazinone core as a starting scaffold. The pyrazinone core could orient the substituents in the correct spatial arrangement to probe the S1, S2, and S3 pockets of the enzyme. A multistep PASP library synthesis was designed to prepare the substituted pyrazinones varying the P1, P2, and P3 moieties. Hundreds of pyrazinone TF/VIIa inhibitors were prepared and tested in several serine protease enzyme assays involved in the coagulation cascade. The inhibitors exhibited modest activity on TF/VIIa with excellent selectivity over thrombin (IIa) and Factor Xa. The structure-activity relationship of the pyrazinone inhibitors will be discussed and X-ray crystal structures of selected compounds complexed with the TF/VIIa enzyme will be described. This study ultimately led to the synthesis of compound 34, which exhibited 16 nM (IC50) activity on TF/VIIa with >6250 x selectivity vs Factor Xa and thrombin. This potent and highly selective inhibitor of TF/VIIa was chosen for preclinical, intravenous proof-of-concept studies to demonstrate the separation between antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding side effects in a nonhuman primate model of electrolytic-induced arterial thrombosis.

Significant differential effects of hormone therapy or tibolone on markers of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study.

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to compare the effects of tibolone and hormone therapy (HT) on lipid profile, vasodilation, and factors associated with inflammation and hemostasis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty-three women received micronized progesterone (MP, 100 mg) with conjugated equine estrogen (CEE, 0.625 mg) or tibolone (2.5 mg) daily for 2 months, with a 2-month washout period. Compared with HT, tibolone significantly reduced total cholesterol (P<0.001), triglyceride (P<0.001), and HDL cholesterol (P<0.001) levels as well as triglyceride/HDL cholesterol ratios (P<0.001) but not LDL cholesterol levels. Tibolone significantly improved flow-mediated brachial artery dilator response to hyperemia from baseline values (P<0.001) by a magnitude similar to that found with HT (P=0.628). Compared with tibolone, which showed no changes, HT significantly increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP, P=0.030) and reduced antithrombin III (P<0.001). HT and tibolone significantly increased prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) from baseline values (P<0.001 and P=0.004, respectively). The effects of HT and tibolone on hsCRP, antithrombin III, and F1+2 were significantly different. HT and tibolone significantly reduced plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 antigen from baseline levels (P=0.006 and P=0.005, respectively) to a similar degree (P=0.988). CONCLUSIONS: Tibolone significantly improved flow-mediated brachial artery dilator response by a magnitude similar to that found with CEE+MP; however, tibolone did not significantly change hsCRP and antithrombin III, and tibolone increased F1+2 less than did CEE+MP.

Design and synthesis of highly constrained factor Xa inhibitors: amidine-substituted bis(benzoyl)--diazepan-2-ones and bis(benzylidene)-bis(gem-dimethyl)cycloketones.

Two conformationally constrained templates have been designed to provide selective inhibitors of the coagulation cascade serine protease, Factor Xa (FXa). The most active inhibitor, 2,7-bis[(Z)-p-amidinobenzylidene)]-3,3,6,6-tetramethylcycloheptanone, exhibits a K(i) of 42 nM against FXa, with strong selectivity against thrombin (1000-fold), trypsin (300-fold) and plasmin (900-fold). With only two freely rotatable bonds, molecular modeling suggests that one amidine group is positioned into the S1 pocket, forming hydrogen bonds with the side chain of Asp189, similar to other amidine-based inhibitors, with the second benzamidine positioned into the S4 pocket in a position to form strong cation-pi bonding with the S4 aryl cage. We suggest that this interaction plays an important role in the specificity of these inhibitors against other serine proteases.
