The inhibitory effects of 6-amidino-2-naphthyl-4-guanidinobenzoate·dimeth-anesulfonate (FUT-175) on the human Hageman factor fragment (HFf), factor Xa, thrombin, plasma kallikrein, and plasmin were studied. FUT-175 inhibited plasma kallikrein most (IC50 = 3.0 × 10-9M), followed by HFf (IC50 = 3.3 × 10-7M). FUT-175 was found to have an anticoagulant effect in the APTT and PT assay systems of human plasma. The concentration of FUT-175 for twofold increase in the clotting time in the APTT assay system was 5 × 10-7M.
FUT-175 (6-amidino-2-naphthyl-4-guanidino benzoate-dimethanesulfonate), a new synthetic protease inhibitor, inhibits the enzyme activities of various proteases, such as C1r, CĪ esterase, thrombin, kalli-krein, plasmin and trypsin. FUT-175 strongly inhibited complement-mediated hemolysis via the classical and alternative pathways. The effects of FUT-175 on various immunological reactions in vivo were studied. The minimal effective dose of FUT-175 in systemic Forssman shock in guinea pigs was 6.25 mg/kg i.p. and 25 mg/kg p.o. In passive Arthus reactions in rats, the effective dose was 25 mg/kg i.p. and 250 mg/kg p.o. FUT-175 also inhibited other immunological reactions, such as passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and delayed hypersensitivity. Furthermore, at a dose of 25 mg/kg i.p. it strongly protected mice from death in endotoxin shock.
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.
