Thrombin has long been suggested as a desirable antithrombotic target, but anti-thrombin therapy without anti-platelet thereby has never achieved the ideal effect. HY023016 is a novel compound, in our previous study, it exerted better anti-thrombotic than dabigatran etexilate. The present study aims to illustrate the excess anti-thrombotic molecular mechanisms of HY023016 through thrombin anion exosites and the platelet membrane receptor subunit glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα).

The purpose of this study was to assess whether HY023016, a novel dabigatran prodrug and an oral direct thrombin inhibitor, or dabigatran etexilate, another thrombin inhibitor can improve the state of whole blood hypercoagulability in vitro/vivo. By using whole blood flow cytometry we explored the effects of HY023016 and dabigatran etexilate on thrombin and ADP-induced human platelet-leukocyte aggregation generated in vitro.

HY023016, a novel Dabigatran prodrug, is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to compare the anti-thrombotic activities and haemorrhagic effects of HY023016 with Dabigatran etexilate and tetramethylpyrazine in several animal thrombosis models.
