Hexabrix Review Agenda Review of Hexabrix Anti-thrombotic & Anti-platelet Properties Overview of Brochure Role Play Hexabrix Follow-up Questions
Anti-Thrombotic & Anti-Coagulant Properties So what happens?
Anti-Thrombotic & Anti-Coagulant Properties Blood Vessel Endothelium Subendothelium INJURY Collagen VWF Tissue Factor Vaso- constriction Platelet Adhesion & Secretion Coagulation Cascade Thrombin Platelet aggregation Fibrin Haemostatic plug Dr Isobel Ford
Anti-Thrombotic & Anti-Coagulant Properties So what’s the issue? This process can lead to occlusion of the vessels, such as coronary arteries, and subsequently to death
Anti-Thrombotic & Anti-Coagulant Properties So what role does Hexabrix play? 2 3 1 4
Anti-Thrombotic & Anti-Coagulant Properties So what role does Hexabrix play? 1 Hexabrix, does not activate resting platelets, unlike nonionic monomers. Doesn’t direct platelets to change shape, release pro-coagulant mediators or to adhere to anything. This prevents/delays formation of the platelet clot. 2 Hexabrix binds w/ Thrombin, preventing it from activating platelets; therefore preventing/delaying the formation of the platelet plug. 3 Hexabrix inhibits the generation of thrombin, reducing the amount of thrombin in the system; therefore Hexabrix inhibits the formation of fibrin. 4 These two together prevents/delays the formation of the fibrin mesh.
Anti-Thrombotic & Anti-Coagulant Properties So, which studies support these properties? (in vitro & animal) 1 Resting Platelet Activation S Heptinstall et al. British Journal of Heamtology. 1998 N Chronos et al. Circulation. 1993 L Melton et al. Acad Rad.1995 JM Idee & C Corot. Fundam Clin Pharmacol. 1999 2 Inhibition of Thrombin and Fibrin Li and Gabriel. Acad Rad. 1997 JJ Ing et al. Radiology. 1989. PM Kopko et al. Radiology. 1990 J Fareed et al. Radiology. 1990 C Corot et al. Blood Coag and Fibrinolysis. 1996 R Al Dieri et al. Journal of Thrombosis and Hemostasis. 2003 CP Markou et al. Thrombo and Heamost. 2001. 3 4
Anti-Thrombotic & Anti-Coagulant Properties So, the anti-platelet properties support the better clinical profile of Hx. (Clinical) Le Feuvre et al. Cathet Cardiovasc Interv. 2006 CL Grines et al. JACC. 1996.
