Введение: Тромбоциты являются ключевыми медиаторами патогенеза артериальных тромбозов и атеросклероза. Поэтому изучение антиагрегантных средств на предмет антитромботической активности на различных моделях артериальных и венозных тромбозов является актуальным. Цель исследования: изучение антитромботической активности соединения РУ-1144 (производного бензимидазола) в сравнении с ацетилсалициловой кислотой (АСК) и клопидогрелом на моделях артериального и венозного тромбозов. Материалы и методы: Артериальный тромбоз моделировали на сонной артерии крыс-самцов аппликацией постоянного электрического тока. Воздействие на сосуд выполняли до момента полной окклюзии, регистрируемой на мониторе доплерографа. Венозной тромбоз моделировали на крысах-самцах полной перевязкой нижней полой вены на 24 ч; через сутки проводили изъятие тромба из сосуда и его взвешивание. В экспериментальных группах животным внутрижелудочно вводили соединение РУ-1144 и препараты сравнения — АСК и клопидогрел, в контрольной группе животным внутрижелудочно вводили дистиллированную воду. Для подтверждения отсутствия влияния хирургических манипуляций на организм животного в исследование модели венозного тромбоза была включена группа ложнооперированных крыс. Результаты: На модели артериального тромбоза установлена более высокая антитромботическая активность соединения РУ-1144 по сравнению с АСК и клопидогрелом в 2,5 и 7,4 раза соответственно. В модели венозного тромбоза соединение РУ-1144 уменьшало среднюю массу венозных тромбов в 5,3 раза по сравнению с группой контроля и превосходило по антитромботической активности АСК и клопидогрел в 3,5 и 1,9 раза. Заключение: Соединение РУ-1144 способно предотвращать патологические процессы, связанные с тромбообразованием, не только в сонной артерии, но и в нижней полой вене. Background: Platelets are key mediators of the pathogenesis of arterial thrombosis and atherosclerosis. So, that is actual to study antithrombotic activity of antiplatelet agents in various models of arterial and venous thromboses. Objectives: to study the antithrombotic activity of RU-1144 compound (benzimidazole derivative) as compared with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and clopidogrel on models of arterial and venous thromboses. Materials/Methods: Arterial thrombosis was modeled on the carotid artery of male rats by application of direct electric current. Exposure was performed until full vessel occlusion recorded by Dopplerograf. Venous thrombosis was modeled on male rats by complete ligation of vena cava inferior for 24 hours; a day later the thrombus was removed from the vessel and weighed. In the experimental groups the animals were injected intragastrically with the compound RU-1144 and the comparison drugs — ASA and clopidogrel; in the control group the animals were administered distilled water intragastrically. To confirm the absence of the effect of surgical manipulations on the animal’s organism, a group of false-operated rats was included in the study of venous thrombosis model. Results: In arterial thrombosis model RU-1144 compound had a higher antithrombotic activity as compared with ASA and clopidogrel by 2.5 and 7.4 times, respectively. In venous thrombosis model RU-1144 compound reduced the average weight of venous clots by 5.3 times as compared with the control group and exceeded antithrombotic activity of ASA and clopidogrel by 3.5 and 1.9 times. Conclusions: RU-1144 compound capable to prevent the pathological processes associated with thrombus formation in carotid artery as well as in vena cava inferior.

SummaryWe examined the antithrombotic activity of a novel synthetic inhibitor of factor Xa, YM-60828, in an electrically-induced carotid artery thrombosis model in rats. In the first experiment, the antithrombotic activity of YM-60828 after i.v. infusion was compared with those of heparin, darteparin and argatroban. Test drug was administered by i.v. infusion from 30 min before electrical stimulation to the end of the experiment. YM-60828 at 1 mg/kg/h significantly improved patency status, prolonged the time to occlusive thrombus formation and duration of patency. Heparin at 300 U/kg/h also improved these parameters, but were accompanied by a marked increase in systemic coagulation time. In the second experiment, the antithrombotic activity of YM-60828 after oral administration was compared with those of ticlopidine, cilostazol, aspirin, beraprost, ethyl icosapentate and warfarin. Test drug was orally administered to fasted rats 60 min before electrical stimulation. YM-60828 at 30 mg/kg p.o., but not ticlopidine, cilostazol, aspirin, beraprost, ethyl icosapentate or warfarin, significantly reduced the incidence of occlusion and improved carotid arterial patency. These results suggest that YM-60828 may be a promising antithrombotic agent for the treatment and prevention of arterial thrombosis which can be given by oral as well as intravenous administration.

Abstract Abstract 3336 Introduction: The search for new anticoagulants is a major challenge in medicine. Contact factors have never been considered as interesting targets for the development of new anticoagulant agents since they are not required for in vivo coagulation (i.e. deficiencies affecting these factors do not cause excessive bleeding). The discovery that FXI and FXII deficiency protects against thrombosis without causing spontaneous bleeding in mice makes FXII a unique and ideal target for drug design. We demonstrated in vitro that Ir-CPI, a 67 amino acids recombinant Kunitz-type protein from Ixodes ricinus, specifically interacted with activated human contact phase factors (FXIIa, FXIa, and kallikrein). Aims: The goal of this study was to investigate the potential anticoagulant and antithrombotic efficacy of Ir-CPI. Methods: The effects of Ir-CPI were investigated on the thrombin activity during the coagulation process in human plasma using the CAT method. Three different inducers were employed to specifically trigger the coagulation pathways and to generate thrombin. A standard concentration of 5 pM TF with 4 μM PL and 16.7 mM CaCl2 was used to activate the TF pathway whereas a lower TF concentration of 1 pM with 4 μM PL and 16.7 mM CaCl2 was selected for stimulating the TF pathway in combination with the contact phase pathway through a thrombin-mediated positive feedback. The contact phase pathway was also triggered alone by ellagic acid, PL and 16.7 mM CaCl2 (25-fold diluted APTT reagent Actin FS). The effect of Ir-CPI on venous thrombus formation was assessed using a rat thrombosis model induced by complete venous stasis in the posterior vena cava and FeCl3 topical application on the outer vessel wall. Results: When stimulating plasma coagulation trough the contact pathway, Ir-CPI caused a concentration-dependent prolongation of the lag time and the Tmax and a concentration-dependent decrease in the Cmax compared to the control curve (i.e. without inhibitor). When the coagulation cascade was triggered by the TF pathway (5 or 1 pM TF), only a slight concentration-dependent decrease of the Cmax and a concentration-dependent prolongation of the lag time and the Tmax were observed. For comparison purpose, the effects of the specific competitive FXIIa inhibitor corn trypsin inhibitor (CTI) were also investigated using the three same inducers than for Ir-CPI. For the contact pathway, a concentration-dependent decrease of the Cmax and a concentration-dependent prolongation of the lag time and the Tmax were found. When stimulating the TF pathway (5 or 1 pM TF), no modification of the thrombin generation curves was observed with the tested concentrations of CTI. When comparing the results of the two inhibitors acting trough the delay of the contact pathway, we found that Ir-CPI was about 30-fold more potent than CTI. We further evaluated the antithrombotic effect of Ir-CPI on a rat venous thrombosis model induced by endothelial damage and vessel ligation, close to the physiological venous thrombus formation in humans. We showed that Ir-CPI reduced thrombosis in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 close to 65 μg/kg. A maximum effect starting from 0.5 mg/kg was observed with a mean reduction in the clot weight/body weight of 75 ± 7%. This antithrombotic effect of Ir-CPI was exclusively mediated through the inhibition of thrombin generation since it did not interference with collagen-induced platelet aggregation. This is the first time that an inhibitor of the coagulation contact phase was shown to protect against the formation of venous thrombi. The antithrombotic effect of Ir-CPI was also confirmed using other venous and arterial thrombosis models. We also showed that the effective antithrombotic dose of Ir-CPI in these tests did not promote bleeding or impair blood coagulation parameters. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that Ir-CPI, a recombinant protein from the tick Ixodes ricinus targeting the contact factors (FXII, FXI and kallikrein), displayed an anticoagulant activity mainly through the delay of the contact pathway induced thrombin generation. This drug also exhibited an antithrombotic activity in our venous and arterial thrombosis model. This drug may thus provide an interesting and innovative therapeutic tool for the prevention and the treatment of thromboembolic diseases with a minimal risk of therapy-associated bleeding. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

SummaryWe studied the use of the Ecarin Clotting Time (ECT) as a predictive assay of the antithrombotic effects of argatroban in a new tissue factor-dependent model of venous thrombosis and a model of arterial thrombosis in the rat. Heparin was used as a reference anticoagulant.Infusions of argatroban dose-dependently increased the ECT across the range of doses required for antithrombotic activity in models of venous and arterial thrombosis (1.25-40 μg/kg/min). The TT was only useful as a marker in the case of venous thrombosis, since, in the arterial thrombosis model, the clotting times were >200 s in the majority of animals receiving antithrombotic doses. The aPTT is not sufficiently sensitive to be predictive of an antithrombotic effect in the venous model, and shows only modest increases in the arterial thrombosis model. Heparin did not significantly increase the ECT at antithrombotic doses in the venous thrombosis model, and only increased the ECT by 53% at 40 μg/kg/min in the arterial model, despite a marked antithrombotic effect. Both the TT and aPTT were dose-dependently increased by heparin at doses active in the venous model, whereas both parameters were >200 s at doses active in the arterial thrombosis model.Thus, the ECT provides a predictive marker for the antithrombotic activity of argatroban in both venous and arterial thrombosis, at least in the rat.
