NAFAMOSTAT

Nafamostat is a broad spectrum serine protease inhibitor, kallikrein inhibitor, and inhibits blood coagulation; is also a possible complement inhibitor.Target: Serine ProteaseTranilast (FUT-175) is an antiallergic drug for bronchial asthma. It has been used for the treatment of allergic disorders such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. It has also been investigated for use as an antiproliferative drug on drug-eluting stents.A 20-40 mg/h dose of FUT-175 prolonged coagulat
Nafamostat is a member of benzoic acids and a member of guanidines.|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.|Nafamostat is a broad-spectrum, synthetic serine protease inhibitor, with anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, mucus clearing, and potential antiviral activities. Upon administration, nafamostat inhibits the activities of a variety of proteases, including thrombin, plasmin, kallikrein, trypsin, and Cl esterase in the complement system, and factors VIIa, Xa, and XIIa in the coagulation system. Although the mechanism of action of nafamostat is not fully understood, trypsinogen activation in the pancreas is known to be a trigger reaction in the development of pancreatitis. Nafamostat blocks the activation of trypsinogen to trypsin and the inflammatory cascade that follows. Nafamostat may also decrease epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity and increase mucus clearance in the airways. ENaC activity is increased in cystic fibrosis. In addition, nafamostat may inhibit the activity of transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2), a host cell serine protease that mediates viral cell entry for influenza virus and coronavirus, thereby inhibiting viral infection and replication.
