Crystal Structure of the Catalytic Domain of Coagulation Factor XI in complex with a peptidomimetic Inhibitor
OverviewOverview
Human coagulation factor XIa (FXIa), a serine protease activated by, site-specific cleavage of factor XI by thrombin, FXIIa, or autoactivation, is a critical enzyme in the amplification phase of the coagulation, cascade. To investigate the potential of FXIa inhibitors as safe, anticoagulants, a series of potent, selective peptidomimetic inhibitors of, FXIa were designed and synthesized. Some of these inhibitors showed low, nanomolar FXIa inhibitory activity with >1000-fold FXa selectivity and, >100-fold thrombin selectivity. The X-ray structure of one of these, inhibitors, 36, demonstrates its unique binding interactions with FXIa., Compound 32 caused a doubling of the activated partial thromboplastin time, in human plasma at 2.4 microM and was efficacious in a rat model of venous, thrombosis. These data suggest that factor XIa plays a significant role in, venous thrombosis and may be a suitable target for the development of, antithrombotic therapy.
