Function

DrugBank ID:

DB12598


Description:

Nafamostat is a synthetic serine protease inhibitor that is commonly formulated with hydrochloric acid due to its basic properties. It has been used in trials studying the prevention of Liver Transplantation and Postreperfusion Syndrome. The use of nafamostat in Asian countries is approved as an anticoagulant therapy for patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy due to acute kidney injury. [DrugBank]

Targets:

Prothrombin (Humans); Coagulation factor X (Humans); Coagulation factor XII (Humans); Trypsin-1 (Humans); Kallikrein-1 (Humans); Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (Humans) [DrugBank]

Pharmacodynamics:

Nafamostat is a fast-acting proteolytic inhibitor used during hemodialysis to prevent the proteolysis of fibrinogen into fibrin by competitively inhibiting several serine proteases including thrombin. It improves acute pancreatitis and prevents blood clot formation during extracorporeal circulation and has an anti-inflammatory effect in vitro. A study suggets that nafamostat has a neuroprotective role during ischemia-induced brain injury from antithrombin activity 5. [DrugBank]
