The purpose of the aPCC-emicizumab safety study is to prospectively investigate the safety and hemostatic efficacy of a personalized dose of aPCC in children and adults with hemophilia A and inhibitors on emicizumab prophylaxis during acute bleeding events or prior to procedures.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of the Selective Inhibition of Coagulation Factor IXa over Factor Xa.

Article

Author: Yoon, Hyun Jung ; Wu, Sangwook ; Kundu, Sibsankar

Thromboembolic disorders, arising from abnormal coagulation, pose a significant risk to human life in the modern world. The FDA has recently approved several anticoagulant drugs targeting factor Xa (FXa) to manage these disorders. However, these drugs have potential side effects, leading to bleeding complications in patients. To mitigate these risks, coagulation factor IXa (FIXa) has emerged as a promising target due to its selective regulation of the intrinsic pathway. Due to the high structural and functional similarities of these coagulation factors and their inhibitor binding modes, designing a selective inhibitor specifically targeting FIXa remains a challenging task. The dynamic behavior of protein-ligand interactions and their impact on selectivity were analyzed using molecular dynamics simulation, considering the availability of potent and selective compounds for both coagulation factors and the co-crystal structures of protein-ligand complexes. Throughout the simulations, we examined ligand movements in the binding site, as well as the contact frequencies and interaction fingerprints, to gain insights into selectivity. Interaction fingerprint (IFP) analysis clearly highlights the crucial role of strong H-bond formation between the ligand and D189 and A190 in the S1 subsite for FIXa selectivity, consistent with our previous study. This dynamic analysis also reveals additional FIXa-specific interactions. Additionally, the absence of polar interactions contributes to the selectivity for FXa, as observed from the dynamic profile of interactions. A contact frequency analysis of the protein-ligand complexes provides further confirmation of the selectivity criteria for FIXa and FXa, as well as criteria for binding and activity. Moreover, a ligand movement analysis reveals key interaction dynamics that highlight the tighter binding of selective ligands to the proteins compared to non-selective and inactive ligands.

Investigation of the anticoagulant activity of cyclic sulfated glycosaminoglycan mimetics

Article

Author: Chiles, Raquel ; Al-Horani, Rami A ; Afosah, Daniel K

Thrombotic disorders are among the leading causes of deaths worldwide. Anticoagulants are frequently prescribed for their prevention and/or treatment. Current anticoagulants, which target either thrombin or factor Xa, are plagued with a number of drawbacks, the most important of which is the increased risk of internal bleeding. To develop better antithrombotic agents, the anticoagulant activity of cyclic glycosaminoglycan mimetics was evaluated. Human plasma clotting assays and enzyme inhibition assays were exploited to evaluate the anticoagulant activity of sulfated β-cyclodextrin (SBCD) and its three analogs: sulfated α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and methylated β-cyclodextrin. In normal human plasma, SBCD selectively doubled the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) at ∼9 μg/mL, with no effect on prothrombin time (PT) at the same concentration. Likewise, SBCD doubled APTT at ∼9 μg/mL and at ∼8 μg/mL in antithrombin-deficient plasma and heparin cofactor II-deficient plasma, respectively. Interestingly, the three SBCD derivatives were inactive at the highest concentrations tested which highlighted the importance of the sulfate groups and the size of the molecule. Enzyme assays revealed that SBCD inhibits factor XIa (FXIa) with an IC₅₀ value of ∼20 μg/mL and efficacy of near 100%. SBCD did not inhibit other related proteins including thrombin, factor IXa, factor Xa, factor XIIa, factor XIIIa, plasmin, chymotrypsin, or trypsin at the highest concentrations tested demonstrating a significant selectivity. In Michaelis-Menten kinetics, SBCD decreased the V_MAX and increased the K_M of FXIa hydrolysis of a tripeptide chromogenic substrate indicating a mixed inhibition mechanism. Together, it appears that SBCD is a potent and selective inhibitor of human FXIa with substantial anticoagulant activity in human plasma. Overall, this study introduces SBCD as a promising lead for further development as a safer anticoagulant.

Phosphatidylserine Regulation of Coagulation Proteins Factor IXa and Factor VIIIa

Review

Author: Majumder, Rinku

Blood coagulation is an intricate process, and it requires precise control of the activities of pro- and anticoagulant factors and sensitive signaling systems to monitor and respond to blood vessel insults. These requirements are fulfilled by phosphatidylserine, a relatively miniscule-sized lipid molecule amid the myriad of large coagulation proteins. This review limelight the role of platelet membrane phosphatidylserine (PS) in regulating a key enzymatic reaction of blood coagulation; conversion of factor X to factor Xa by the enzyme factor IXa and its cofactor factor VIIIa. PS is normally located on the inner leaflet of the resting platelet membrane but appears on the outer leaflet surface of the membrane surface after an injury happens. Human platelet activation leads to exposure of buried PS molecules on the surface of the platelet-derived membranes and the exposed PS binds to discrete and specific sites on factors IXa and VIIIa. PS binding to these sites allosterically regulates both factors IXa and VIIIa. The exposure of PS and its binding to factors IXa/VIIIa is a vital step during clotting. Insufficient exposure or a defective binding of PS to these clotting proteins is responsible for various hematologic diseases which are discussed in this review.
