Abstract
Anticoagulants which are used for treatment of thrombosis have limitations due to side effects and complicated laboratory monitoring. Use of antiplatelet drugs is limited since they inhibit only certain activation processes. The aim of the project is to test antithrombotic properties of peptidomimetics (potential selective and reversible inhibitors of thrombin and platelet membrane glycoprotein receptor GP IIa/IIIb antagonists) in vitro in pure enzyme/inhibitor/substrate systems, in biological systems with clotting and platelet aggregation assays, in vivo in animals and in animal models of thrombosis. It is expected that substances which inhibit thrombin and platelet aggregation in nM concentrations will be found. These inhibitors would be basic substances for the development of antithrombotic dugs.
