| Bioactivity | Desirudin (CGP 39393) is a thrombin inhibitor. Desirudin can inhibit the formation of blood clots and venous stasis thrombosis, which is used for the research of thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction[1][2]. |
| Target | ED50: 0.01 mg/kg (i.v.) and 0.45 mg/kg (s.c.). |
| In Vivo | Desirudin (CGP 39393, 0.75-3.0 mg/kg, a bolus plus infusion administration, dogs model of cardiopulmonary bypass) is effective in Inhibiting clot formation[1].Desirudin (0.01-1 mg/kg, Intravenous injections and subcutaneous injection, rat shunt model) inhibits thrombus development with ED50 values of 0.3 mg/kg (i.v.) and 1.0 mg/kg (s.c.), and inhibits venous stasis thrombosis with ED50 values of 0.01 mg/kg (i.v.) and 0.45 mg/kg (s.c.)[2].
