Rc. Buijsman et al., Design and synthesis of a novel synthetic NAPAP-pentasaccharide conjugate displaying a dual antithrombotic action, BIOORG MED, 9(14), 1999, pp. 2013-2018
The synthesis of a novel antithrombotic consisting of a heparin pentasaccha
ride conjugated to the active site inhibitor N-(2-naphtalenesulfonyl)-glycy
l-(D)-4-aminophenyl-alanyl-piperidine(NAPAP) (i.e. compound I) is reported.
This conjugate shows a unique pharmacological profile both in vitro and in
vivo having direct anti-thrombin and ATIII-mediated anti-Xa activity. Furt
hermore, conjugate I has a prolonged in vivo half-life compared to NAPAP (1
.5 h vs 9 min.), (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
