Significantly, thrombin activity was partially reduced - but not completely inhibited - by interactions with AuMBA. These findings indicate that interactions of proteins with ultrasmall NPs may mimic a typical biomolecular complexation event, and suggest the prospect of using ultrasmall particles as synthetic receptors to allosterically regulate protein function.

Clinical, P4 data, Journal: Dabigatran Levels in Elderly Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: First Post-Marketing Experiences. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 30, 2019 These findings indicate that interactions of proteins with ultrasmall NPs may mimic a typical biomolecular complexation event, and suggest the prospect of using ultrasmall particles as synthetic receptors to allosterically regulate protein function. This pilot study demonstrated that elderly patients on reduced dabigatran exhibit significantly higher dabigatran levels than younger individuals on a reduced regimen, and similar levels compared with younger individuals on standard dabigatran.

Our results concluded that galangin blocked the thrombin-induced MMP-9 expression in SK-N-SH cells via inhibiting c-Src, Pyk2, PKCα/βII/δ, Akt, mTOR, p42/p44 MAPK, JNK1/2, p38 MAPK, FoxO1, c-Jun, and p65 phosphorylation and ultimately attenuated cell migration. Therefore, galangin may be a potential candidate for the management of brain inflammatory diseases.

Oral platelet P2Y receptor inhibitors with enhanced potency, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, as well as antiplatelet therapies such as vorapaxar inhibiting the thrombin-mediated platelet signaling pathway, constitute treatment opportunities for patients with DM and have shown to be associated with a greater reduction in ischemic recurrences, albeit at the cost of more bleeding. This article reviews currently available antiplatelet agents and delivers an update on the advances and drawbacks of these agents used for secondary prevention in DM patients experiencing an ACS or undergoing PCI.

Prasugrel and ticagrelor provide a more prompt, potent, and predictable antiplatelet effect compared with clopidogrel, which translates into better clinical outcomes...Thrombin has an important role, suggesting the need for strategies directly targeting circulating thrombin or other factors of the coagulation cascade, such as oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban), and the thrombin receptor on the platelet membrane (vorapaxar). In this Review, we provide an overview of currently available antithrombotic therapies used in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI, results from pivotal clinical trials and their implications for guidelines, as well as recommendations for clinical practice.
