FRAGMENT-BASED DISCOVERY OF MEXILETINE DERIVATIVES AS ORALLY BIOAVAILABLE INHIBITORS OF UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATORFRAGMENT-BASED DISCOVERY OF MEXILETINE DERIVATIVES AS ORALLY BIOAVAILABLE INHIBITORS OF UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR
DiseaseDisease
[UROK_HUMAN] Defects in PLAU are the cause of Quebec platelet disorder (QPD) [MIM:601709]. QPD is an autosomal dominant bleeding disorder due to a gain-of-function defect in fibrinolysis. Although affected individuals do not exhibit systemic fibrinolysis, they show delayed onset bleeding after challenge, such as surgery. The hallmark of the disorder is markedly increased PLAU levels within platelets, which causes intraplatelet plasmin generation and secondary degradation of alpha-granule proteins.[1]
FunctionFunction
[UROK_HUMAN] Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin.
