Ciraparantag (aripazine) is a drug under investigation as an antidote for a number of anticoagulant (anti-blood clotting) drugs, including factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban), dabigatran, and heparins (including fondaparinux, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), and unfractionated heparin). [1] [2]

Contents

Medical uses

Ciraparantag significantly reverses anticoagulation induced by a therapeutic dose of edoxaban within 10 minutes following injection. [3] This return to normal haemostasis persists over 24 hours following a single intravenous dose of the drug. [4] In addition to edoxaban, it also reverses the actions of LMWH and dabigatran. [5]

Pharmacology

Mechanism of action

According to in vitro studies, the substance binds directly to anticoagulants via hydrogen bonds and charge-charge interactions [3] from or to various parts of the molecule: [1]

Chemistry

Ciraparantag consists of two L-arginine units connected with a piperazine containing linker chain. [1]
