Bioactivity | 6-Aminocaproic acid (EACA), a monoamino carboxylic acid, is a potent and orally active inhibitor of plasmin and plasminogen. 6-Aminocaproic acid is a potent antifibrinolytic agent. 6-Aminocaproic acid prevents clot lysis through the competitive binding of lysine residues on plasminogen, inhibiting plasmin formation and reducing fibrinolysis. 6-Aminocaproic acid can be used for the research of bleeding disorders[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | 6-Aminocaproic acid (20-180 μg/mL) inhibits fibrinolysis in plasma of Asian elephants, with an effective concentration of 61.5 μg/mL[2].6-Aminocaproic acid can be used as a hydrophobic linker to improve near-infrared fluorescence imaging and photothermal cancer therapy of PEGylated indocyanine green[4]. | ||||||||||||
