Defobrotide(D) a natural polydeoxyribonucleotide of mammalian lung origin is a new substance with no anticoagulant or hemodinamic effects?it has shown considerable profibrinolytic and antithrombotic activities. The ability of (D) to increase generation of prostaci-clmCPGI2) from vascular tissue has been demonstrated; this substance also promotes substantial release from vascular tissues of a plasminogen activator factor which plays an important role in preventing thrombotic oclusion of vascular segments.Widely accepted therapies in deep venous thrombosis and Acute Thromboflebitis (A.f.; are based on anticoagulant treatments (heparin and/or oral anticoagulant agentsWe have evaluated the efficacy of (D> in (A.T.) vs. heparin in 40 pts.(28 females 12 males;mean age=50) with an open randomized study.Group A:20 pts.have been administered CD; 200mg.four times a day l.m. for 10 days.Group B:20 pts.have been administered Sodic Heparin 30000 U.I. intravenously with successive dosage based upon APTT values.Both groups have been treated with an oral anti coagulant agentCacenocoumaro1) after the tenth day.No clinical differences between the treatments have been observed and in no pts. treated with CD; we noted significant changes m laboratory parameters evaluated: complete blood count,glycemia BUN creatinine ALT AST LDH.Clinical eficacy was excellent in both groups also supported by augmented fibrinolysis and instrumental improvement(strain-gauge plethismography;.The absolute safety of (D> therapy shows its possible alternative role when compared to heparin treatment in (A.T.> of any origin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
