The antithrombotic action of the highly effective synthetic thrombin inhibitor Nα-(2-naphthylsulfonylglycyl)-4-amidino-phenylalanine
piperidide was studied in various models of experimental thrombosis in rats. Intravenous
infusion of the thrombin inhibitor caused a dose-dependent inhibition or prevention
of stasis-induced venous thrombosis, of arterial thrombosis after electrically-induced
damage of the vessel wall and of thrombotic occlusion of an extracorporeal arterio-venous
shunt.
