Crystal Structure of the Catalytic Domain of Coagulation Factor XI in complex with a peptidomimetic Inhibitor

Overview

Human coagulation factor XIa (FXIa), a serine protease activated by site-specific cleavage of factor XI by thrombin, FXIIa, or autoactivation, is a critical enzyme in the amplification phase of the coagulation cascade. To investigate the potential of FXIa inhibitors as safe anticoagulants, a series of potent, selective peptidomimetic inhibitors of FXIa were designed and synthesized. Some of these inhibitors showed low nanomolar FXIa inhibitory activity with >1000-fold FXa selectivity and >100-fold thrombin selectivity. The X-ray structure of one of these inhibitors, 36, demonstrates its unique binding interactions with FXIa. Compound 32 caused a doubling of the activated partial thromboplastin time in human plasma at 2.4 microM and was efficacious in a rat model of venous thrombosis. These data suggest that factor XIa plays a significant role in venous thrombosis and may be a suitable target for the development of antithrombotic therapy.

Disease

Known disease associated with this structure: Factor XI deficiency, autosomal dominant OMIM:[264900], Factor XI deficiency, autosomal recessive OMIM:[264900]
