摘要:
The present invention provides methods for inhibiting the anticoagulation effect of a thrombin inhibitor in a patient in need thereof comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a variant prothrombin or thrombin that is capable of binding the thrombin inhibitor and that has reduced procoagulant activity. Variant prothrombins or thrombins of use in the methods of the present invention include thrombin mutants W215A, W215A/E217A, or variants thereof in which the amino acids at positions 215 and/or 217 are alanine. Methods are also provided in which the thrombin mutants are administered with an additional active agent, particularly hemostatic agents such as activated factor VII or activated prothrombin complex concentrate. In one embodiment of the invention, the methods are useful in the treatment of patients in which a direct thrombin inhibitor has been administered, particularly argatroban. The present invention further provides a method for quantifying the concentration of an anticoagulant in the plasma or whole blood of a patient using a variant prothrombin or thrombin titration assay.
摘要:
One aspect of the invention contemplates a mutant E-WE thrombin precursor that contains the SEQ ID NO:1 amino acid residue sequence. Another aspect contemplates a thrombin precursor that contains the amino acid residue sequence Asp/Glu-Gly-Arg at positions 325, 326 and 327 based on the preprothrombin sequence. A third aspect contemplates a thrombin precursor that contains the SEQ ID NO:1 amino acid residue sequence as well as the amino acid residue sequence Asp/Glu Gly Arg at positions 325, 326 and 327 based on the preprothrombin sequence. Also contemplated is a composition that contains an effective amount of mutant thrombin dissolved or dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A method is also disclosed for enhancing treating and preventing thrombosis in a mammal in need using that composition.

摘要:
A recombinant serine protease precursor that auto-activates in an aqueous buffer to form a mature active enzyme is disclosed. A contemplated precursor contains 1 to about 10 heterologous amino acid residues that function to enhance by at least ten-fold the room temperature rate of auto-lytic bond cleavage to form the active enzyme relative to the auto-lytic cleavage rate of the native enzyme precursor when each precursor is dispersed in an aqueous buffer at an optimal pH value for the proteolytic activity of the protease. Illustrative active enzymes include serine proteases such as thrombin and protein C. A method of preparing and using an enzyme precursor is also disclosed.
