Abstract

Dabigatran (DAB) is an orally administered thrombin inhibitor. Both DAB and its main metabolite dabigatran acylglucuronide (DABG) have established anticoagulant effects. Here, we aimed to compare the relative anticoagulant effects of DABG and DAB in humans. Anticoagulant effects of DAB and DABG were measured in vitro using a thrombin generation assay. Additionally, their effects on other coagulation assays including PT, aPTT, TT, and fibrinogen were compared. Both DAB and DABG showed inhibitory effects on thrombin generation in a dose-dependent manner, but DABG exhibited a weaker inhibitory effect than that of DAB. The IC50 values of DAB and DABG on thrombin generation AUC were 134.1 ng/mL and 281.9 ng/mL, respectively. DABG also exhibited weaker anticoagulant effects than DAB on PT, aPTT, and TT. The results of the present study indicate that the anticoagulant effect of DABG, a main active DAB metabolite, is weaker than that of DAB.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
