| 1. | Hirudin ( and related substances ) are synthesised using recombinant techniques.
|
| 2. | Several other direct thrombin inhibitors are derived chemically from hirudin.
|
| 3. | Hirudin is the most potent natural inhibitor of thrombin.
|
| 4. | Therefore, hirudin prevents or dissolves the formation of clots and complexed thrombin.
|
| 5. | The active anticoagulant component of leech saliva is a small protein, hirudin.
|
| 6. | Bleeding may continue for some time, due to the leech's hirudin.
|
| 7. | Revasc, also known as hirudin, is genetically-engineered from the saliva of leeches.
|
| 8. | The results are expected to show Hirudin is no more effective than heparin, the current standard.
|
| 9. | The three studies aimed in part at comparing heparin, which was discovered in 1916, and hirudin.
|
| 10. | Unlike antithrombin, hirudin binds to and inhibits only the activated thrombin, with a specific activity on fibrinogen.
