Inhibition of factor X, factor V and prothrombin activation by the bis(lactobionic acid amide) LW10082

The minimum concentrations of heparin, dermatan sulfate, hirudin, and D-Phe-Pro-ArgCH2Cl required to delay the onset of prothrombin activation in contact-activated plasma also prolong the lag phases associated with both factor X and factor V activation. Heparin and dermatan sulfate prolong the lag phases associated with the activation of the three proteins by catalyzing the inhibition of endogenously generated thrombin. Thrombin usually …
