6-Aminocaproic acid  (Synonyms: EACA; Epsilon-Amino-n-caproic Acid; 6-Aminohexanoic acid)

Cat. No.: HY-B0236 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

6-Aminocaproic acid (EACA), a monoamino carboxylic acid, is a potent and orally active inhibitor of plasmin and plasminogen. 6-Aminocaproic acid is a potent antifibrinolytic agent. 6-Aminocaproic acid prevents clot lysis through the competitive binding of lysine residues on plasminogen, inhibiting plasmin formation and reducing fibrinolysis. 6-Aminocaproic acid can be used for the research of bleeding disorders.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description

6-Aminocaproic acid (EACA), a monoamino carboxylic acid, is a potent and orally active inhibitor of plasmin and plasminogen. 6-Aminocaproic acid is a potent antifibrinolytic agent. 6-Aminocaproic acid prevents clot lysis through the competitive binding of lysine residues on plasminogen, inhibiting plasmin formation and reducing fibrinolysis. 6-Aminocaproic acid can be used for the research of bleeding disorders[1][2].

In Vitro

6-Aminocaproic acid (20-180 μg/mL) inhibits fibrinolysis in plasma of Asian elephants, with an effective concentration of 61.5 μg/mL[2].
6-Aminocaproic acid can be used as a hydrophobic linker to improve near-infrared fluorescence imaging and photothermal cancer therapy of PEGylated indocyanine green[4].

In Vivo

6-Aminocaproic acid (20-100 mg/kg; a single p.o.) inhibits fibrinolysis at all doses tested in dogs[3].
6-Aminocaproic acid (20-100 mg/kg; a single p.o.) is rapidly absorbed (Tmax=1 h) and eliminated rapidly in dogs[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
