Description : |
The drug PTI, is thebovine version of the small protein basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, orBPTI, which inhibits trypsin and related proteolytic enzymes. Under the tradename Trasylol, aprotinin was used as a medication administered by injectionto reduce bleeding during complex surgery, such as heart and liver surgery.Its main effect is the slowing down of fibrinolysis, the process that leadsto the breakdown of blood clots. The aim in its use was to decrease the needfor blood transfusions during surgery, as well as end-organ damage due tohypotension (low blood pressure) as a result of marked blood loss. |

Applications : |
Can be used for theisolation of proteins as well as for biopharmaceutical downstreampurification to inhibit undesired proteolytic activity of serine proteasessuch as trypsin, plasmin, trypsinogen, urokinase, chymotrypsin, kallikrein,elastase and others. Can also be used during immunodiffusion,radioimmunoassay or enzyme-linked immuno assay procedures. Aprotinin is usedin chromogenic assays for the determination of antithrombin III, heparin,a2-macroglobulin, factor Xa and thrombin to inhibit disturbing kallikrein orplasmin activities. |
