Abstract
Thrombosis has been emerging as a major global life-threatening issue with high mortality and serious complications, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. Compared with the commonly used plasminogen activators thrombolytic drugs, fibrinolytic drugs are no longer heavily dependent on the patients' own plasminogen, which are poorly expressed in most patients. As a novel "direct acting" thrombolytic agent, fibrinolytic drugs are considered to have stronger thrombolytic efficacy and safety than the widely used plasminogen activators. However, the risk of their hemorrhage remains a major concern. Herein, the molecular mechanisms and solutions were summarized for the first time based on the systematic review of the latest developments, which could shed new light on the development of novel safety fibrinolytic drugs in the future.
期刊介绍:
Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis is an international fully refereed journal that features review and original research articles on all clinical, laboratory and experimental aspects of haemostasis and thrombosis. The journal is devoted to publishing significant developments worldwide in the field of blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, thrombosis, platelets and the kininogen-kinin system, as well as dealing with those aspects of blood rheology relevant to haemostasis and the effects of drugs on haemostatic components
