Disease[UROK_HUMAN] Defects in PLAU are the cause of Quebec platelet disorder (QPD) [MIM:601709]. QPD is an autosomal dominant bleeding disorder due to a gain-of-function defect in fibrinolysis. Although affected individuals do not exhibit systemic fibrinolysis, they show delayed onset bleeding after challenge, such as surgery. The hallmark of the disorder is markedly increased PLAU levels within platelets, which causes intraplatelet plasmin generation and secondary degradation of alpha-granule proteins.[1] Function[UROK_HUMAN] Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedIn this Letter we report the synthesis and evaluation of a series of non-amidine inhibitors of Urokinase Plasminogen Activator (uPA). Starting from compound 1, a significant change provided compounds in which the amidine, binding in the S1 pocket, was replaced with a primary amine. Further modifications led to the identification of potent, selective, and orally bioavailable uPA inhibitors. Identification of orally bioavailable, non-amidine inhibitors of Urokinase Plasminogen Activator (uPA).,West CW, Adler M, Arnaiz D, Chen D, Chu K, Gualtieri G, Ho E, Huwe C, Light D, Phillips G, Pulk R, Sukovich D, Whitlow M, Yuan S, Bryant J Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Oct 1;19(19):5712-5.
