Fondaparinux3
Fondaparinux potentiates the neutralizing action of ATIII on activated Factor X 300-fold. (pharmfair.com)
The antithrombotic activity of fondaparinux is the result of ATIII-mediated selective inhibition of Factor Xa. (pharmfair.com)
By selectively binding to ATIII, Fondaparinux potentiates (about 300 times) the neutralization of Factor Xa by ATIII. (pharmfair.com)
Platelet1
In cardiology, it is used to prevent embolisms in patients with atrial fibrillation and as an adjunct antithrombin therapy in patients with unstable angina and/or non-Q wave myocardial infarctions (i.e. non-ST elevated acute coronary artery syndrome) who are on platelet glycoprotein (IIb/IIIa) receptor inhibitors. (lgmpharma.com)
Binding2
This monomeric sequence in heparin and HS is thought to form the high affinity binding site for the natural anti-coagulant factor, antithrombin III (ATIII). (pharmfair.com)
