Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

PPACK is a synthetic peptide derivative that irreversibly and specifically inhibits thrombin-mediated platelet activation by binding with high affinity to the active site of thrombin (Ki = 0.24 nM). It has been used as an anticoagulant (100 μM) and to study thrombin-mediated fibrin deposition, angiogenesis, and proinflammatory processes. PPACK is a serine protease inhibitor.

Product Data
Biological target:
PPACK is a synthetic peptide derivative that irreversibly and specifically inhibits thrombin-mediated platelet activation by binding with high affinity to the active site of thrombin (Ki = 0.24 nM).
In vitro activity:
Large increases in Tm indicated that calcium led to protein stabilization (0 vs. 2 mM Ca2+) for fibrinogen (54.0 vs. 62.3 °C) and fibrin (62.3 vs. 72.2 °C). Additionally, active site inhibition with PPACK dramatically increased the Tm of thrombin (58.3 vs. 78.3 °C). Treatment of fibrinogen with fibrin polymerization inhibitor GPRP increased fibrinogen stability by ΔTm = 9.3 °C, similar to the ΔTm when fibrinogen was converted to fibrin monomer (ΔTm = 8.8 °C) or to fibrin (ΔTm = 10.4 °C). Reference: Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj. 2021 Feb;1865(2):129805. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33276061/
In vivo activity:
Each PFC NP (perfluorocarbon nanoparticle) was complexed with ~13,650 copies of the direct thrombin inhibitor, PPACK (proline-phenylalanine-arginine-chloromethyl-ketone). Mice treated after the onset of AKI with PPACK PFC NP exhibited downregulated VCAM-1, ICAM-1, PGD2 prostanoid, M-CSF, IL-6, and mast cell infiltrates. Microvascular architecture, tubular basement membranes, and brush border components were better preserved. Non-reperfusion was reduced as indicated by reduced red blood cell trapping and non-heme iron. Kidney function and tubular necrosis improved at 24 hours versus the untreated control group, suggesting a benefit for dual inhibition of thrombosis and inflammation by PPACK PFC NP.
