ORG 10172 is a heparinoid with mean molecular weight 6500 daltons. Intravenous bolus injections of ORG 10172 were compared with placebo and heparin injections in 91 separate studies in 83 healthy male subjects. 6400 units ORG 10172 produced a mean maximum change of 14.7 s in kaolin cephalin time (c.f. greater than 120 s for 5000 units heparin). Changes in prothrombin time were minimal (1.6 s for 6400 units ORG 10172 and 4.5 s after 5000 units heparin). A dose-related increase in bleeding time occurred after ORG 10172 and at high doses (greater than 3200 units) some secondary bleeding, which was never serious, occurred at between 1 and 4 h after incision. A dose-dependent reduction in ex vivo platelet adhesiveness was found at 10 min after ORG 10172 injection. ORG 10172 promoted a much smaller release of lipoprotein lipase as compared with heparin. The effect of ORG 10172 on plasma factor Xa activity (one measure of its action) was described by a biexponential decay with a mean distribution half-life of 2.34 (s.e. mean 0.16) h and mean disposition half-life of 17.6 (s.e. mean 1.1) h. It thus has a much longer duration of effect than heparin. There was a linear relationship of plasma anti-Xa response to increasing dose although there was some variability only partly explained by differences in body weight or surface area. ORG 10172 administration by bolus intravenous injection was well tolerated and there was no evidence of adverse effects on clinical chemistry or haematology tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
