Ligands: 062 NonStd Res: TYS Activity: Thrombin, with EC number 3.4.21.5 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease [THRB_HUMAN] Defects in F2 are the cause of factor II deficiency (FA2D) [MIM:613679]. It is a very rare blood coagulation disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding symptoms. The severity of the bleeding manifestations correlates with blood factor II levels. Genetic variations in F2 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Defects in F2 are the cause of thrombophilia due to thrombin defect (THPH1) [MIM:188050]. It is a multifactorial disorder of hemostasis characterized by abnormal platelet aggregation in response to various agents and recurrent thrombi formation. Note=A common genetic variation in the 3-prime untranslated region of the prothrombin gene is associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and an increased risk of venous thrombosis. Defects in F2 are associated with susceptibility to pregnancy loss, recurrent, type 2 (RPRGL2) [MIM:614390]. A common complication of pregnancy, resulting in spontaneous abortion before the fetus has reached viability. The term includes all miscarriages from the time of conception until 24 weeks of gestation. Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as 3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions. Function [THRB_HUMAN] Thrombin, which cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII, XIII, and, in complex with thrombomodulin, protein C. Functions in blood homeostasis, inflammation and wound healing. [HIR2_HIRME] Hirudin is a potent thrombin-specific protease inhibitor. It forms a stable non-covalent complex with alpha-thrombin, thereby abolishing its ability to cleave fibrinogen. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Optimization of a previously reported thrombin inhibitor, 9-hydroxy-9-fluorenylcarbonyl-l-prolyl-trans-4-aminocyclohexylmethylamide (1), by replacing the aminocyclohexyl P1 group provided a new lead structure, 9-hydroxy-9-fluorenylcarbonyl-l-prolyl-2-aminomethyl-5-chlorobenzylamide (2), with improved potency (K(i) = 0.49 nM for human thrombin, 2x APTT = 0.37 microM in human plasma) and pharmacokinetic properties (F = 39%, iv T(1/2) = 13 h in dogs). An effective strategy for reducing plasma protein binding of 2 and improving efficacy in an in vivo thrombosis model in rats was to replace the lipophilic fluorenyl group in P3 with an azafluorenyl group. Systematic investigation of all possible azafluorenyl P3 isomers and azafluorenyl-N-oxide analogues of 2 led to the identification of an optimal compound, 3-aza-9-hydroxyfluoren-9(R)-ylcarbonyl-l-prolyl-2-aminomethyl-5-chlorobenz ylamide (19b), with high potency (K(i) = 0.40 nM, 2x APTT = 0.18 microM), excellent pharmacokinetic properties (F = 55%, T(1/2) = 14 h in dogs), and complete efficacy in the in vivo thrombosis model in rats (inhibition of FeCl(3)-induced vessel occlusions in six of six rats receiving an intravenous infusion of 10 microg/kg/min of 19b). The stereochemistry of the azafluorenyl group in 19b was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis of its N-oxide derivative (23b) bound in the active site of human thrombin. 9-hydroxyazafluorenes and their use in thrombin inhibitors.,Stauffer KJ, Williams PD, Selnick HG, Nantermet PG, Newton CL, Homnick CF, Zrada MM, Lewis SD, Lucas BJ, Krueger JA, Pietrak BL, Lyle EA, Singh R, Miller-Stein C, White RB, Wong B, Wallace AA, Sitko GR, Cook JJ, Holahan MA, Stranieri-Michener M, Leonard YM, Lynch JJ Jr, McMasters DR, Yan Y J Med Chem. 2005 Apr 7;48(7):2282-93.
