Edoxaban(DU-176) is an oral factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor in clinical development for stroke preventionIC50 Value:Target: factor XaEdoxaban is an oral factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor in clinical development for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation, an elderly population that frequently receives aspirin (ASA) and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for concurrent illnesses[1].in vitro: Edoxaban PK was not affected by concomitant low-dose ASA or naproxen, but high-dose ASA incr
Edoxaban is a monocarboxylic acid amide that is used (as its tosylate monohydrate) for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It has a role as an anticoagulant, an EC 3.4.21.6 (coagulation factor Xa) inhibitor and a platelet aggregation inhibitor. It is a monocarboxylic acid amide, a chloropyridine, a thiazolopyridine and a tertiary amino compound. It is a conjugate base of an edoxaban(1+).|Edoxaban is a member of the Novel Oral Anti-Coagulants (NOACs) class of drugs, and is a rapidly acting, oral, selective factor Xa inhibitor. By inhibiting factor Xa, a key protein in the coagulation cascade, edoxaban prevents the stepwise amplification of protein factors needed to form blood clots. It is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism (SE) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) following 5-10 days of initial therapy with a parenteral anticoagulant. Traditionally, warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist, was used for stroke prevention in these individuals but effective use of this drug is limited by it's delayed onset, narrow therapeutic window, need for regular monitoring and INR testing, and numerous drug-drug and drug-food interactions. This has prompted enthusiasm for newer agents such as dabigatran, apixaban, and rivaroxaban for effective clot prevention. In addition to once daily dosing, the benefits over warfarin also include significant reductions in hemorrhagic stroke and GI bleeding, and improved compliance, which is beneficial as many patients will be on lifelong therapy.|Edoxaban is a Factor Xa Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of edoxaban is as a Factor Xa Inhibitor.|Edoxaban is an oral, small molecule inhibitor of factor Xa which is used as an anticoagulant to decrease the risk of venous thromboses, systemic embolization and stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, and as treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism to prevent thrombotic complications. Edoxaban has been linked to a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy, but has not been implicated in cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury.|Edoxaban is an orally active inhibitor of coagulation factor Xa (activated factor X) with anticoagulant activity. Edoxaban is administered as edoxaban tosylate. This agent has an elimination half-life of 9-11 hours and undergoes renal excretion.
