PPACK dihydrochloride
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
PPACK dihydrochloride is a potent, peptidic inhibitor targeting thrombin and granzyme GZMK. PPACK dihydrochloride specifically blocks the activities of thrombin and GZMK, thereby inhibiting thrombin-mediated PAR-1 cleavage, as well as downstream inflammatory and procoagulant signaling pathways. Through stabilizing IκB proteins, blocking NF-κB activation and reducing systemic levels of proinflammatory/procoagulant biomarkers, PPACK dihydrochloride exerts multiple effects including anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, barrier repair, and inhibition of atherosclerotic plaque progression. PPACK dihydrochloride binds to platelets without interference from kininogen, effectively limiting acute thrombus growth and reducing eosinophil infiltration and goblet cell hyperplasia in asthma models. PPACK dihydrochloride is an important tool molecule for investigating the mechanisms of atherosclerosis, asthma and related thromboinflammatory diseases.

PPACK dihydrochloride nanoparticles completely inhibit thrombin-induced cleavage of the PAR-1 receptor on human aortic endothelial cells, as well as tissue factor expression on the surface of THP-1 monocytes[1].
PPACK dihydrochloride nanoparticles inhibit thrombin-induced NF-κB activation in human aortic endothelial cells and THP-1 monocytes[1].
PPACK dihydrochloride (5-fold molar excess; room temperature; 1 h) inactivates the amidolytic activity of human α-thrombin after 1 h of incubation at room temperature, generating PPACK dihydrochloride-thrombin that does not interfere with the enzymatic function of unmodified α-thrombin[4].
PPACK dihydrochloride (200 μM, 100 μM, 10 μM) exerts anticoagulant effects, and exhibits stronger anticoagulant activity on a molar basis than the factor Xa inhibitor GGACK (HY-137495) used alone at the same concentrations[5].
