Prothrombinase complex, composed of coagulation factors Xa (FXa) and Va (FVa) is a major enzyme of the blood coagulation network that produces thrombin via activation of its inactive precursor prothrombin (FII) on the surface of phospholipid membranes. However, pathways and mechanisms of prothrombinase formation and substrate delivery are still discussed. Here we designed a novel mathematical model that considered different potential pathways of FXa or FII binding (from the membrane or from solution) and analyzed the kinetics of thrombin formation in the presence of a wide range of reactants concentrations.

In the present work, we focused on the structure-activity relationships of derivatives of pyrrolo[3,2,1-]quinolin-2(1)-one and an evaluation of their activity against factor Xa and factor XIa. For this, docking-guided synthesis of nine compounds based on pyrrolo[3,2,1-]quinolin-2(1)-one was carried out.
