Abstract EN
Venous and arterial thromboembolic diseases are still the most frequent causes of death and disability in high-income countries.
Clinical anticoagulants are inhibitors of enzymes involved in the coagulation pathway, such as thrombin and factor Xa.
Thrombin is a key enzyme of blood coagulation system, activating the platelets, converting the fibrinogen to the fibrin net, and amplifying its self-generation by the activation of factors V, VIII, and XI.
Thrombin has long been a target for the development of oral anticoagulants.
Furthermore, selective inhibitors of thrombin represent a new class of antithrombotic agents.
For these reasons, a number of specific thrombin inhibitors are under evaluation for possible use as antithrombotic drugs.
This paper summarizes old and new interests of specific thrombin inhibitors described in different animals.
