Abstract

Org 10172 shows dose-dependent antithrombotic activity in various experimental thrombosis models. It produces less hemorrhage at an equivalent antithrombotic effect than commercial heparin in various experimental bleeding models. It shows a better benefit (antithrombotic) to risk (bleeding) ratio than SP54 and commercial heparin. The benefit to risk ratio of Org 10172 is better than some LMW heparins and equivalent to other LMW heparins, depending on the method of preparation. The antithrombotic effect of Org 10172 in animal models has a much longer duration than that of commercial heparin and also LMW heparins. Org 10172 predominantly inactivates generated thrombin via the formation of HC II-thrombin complexes, whereas commercial heparin and LMW heparins inactivate generated thrombin via AT III-thrombin complexes.
