Abstract

The activity of 1-[2-(beta-naphthyloxy)ethyl]-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (= BAY g 6575) was evaluated in models of experimental thrombosis caused by traumatically induced damage of vessel segments. After prophylactic administration of BAY g 6575 (0.3 mg/kg p.o.) to rats the thrombus formation was significantly reduced in the carotid artery as well as in the jugular vein. The thrombus formation in the femoral arteries of rabbits is inhibited at a minimal effective dose of 1 mg/kg p.o. The incidence of occlusive thrombi is not influenced. BAY g 6575 is 10 times more potent than acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). In the arterial system the thrombus formation is frequently completely abolished.

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
