Anticoagulant reversal agents
View Patent ↗Novel anticoagulant reversal compounds are disclosed, as well as methods of making the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, methods of using the compounds to reverse the anticoagulant effects of coagulation inhibitors, and diagnostic assays comprising the compounds.
1. A method of completely or partially reversing an anticoagulant effect of a coagulation inhibitor selected from the group consisting of an unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), Factor IIa inhibitor, and Factor Xa inhibitor, wherein the method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by formula II:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
L and L′ are each a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 10 alkylene chain;
M and M′ are each a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 10 alkylene chain; and
Y and Y′ are each
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coagulation inhibitor is a factor Xa inhibitor.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the factor Xa inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, and fondaparinux.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a mammal.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the subject is a human.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the complete or partial reversal of an anticoagulant effect of a coagulation inhibitor is measured by anti-factor Xa activity assay.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject in need thereof is a subject in whom acute or planned reversal of anticoagulation is indicated.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the subject in whom acute or planned reversal of anticoagulation is indicated is a subject suffering from anticoagulant overdose, a subject suffering from hemorrhage, a subject requiring planned surgical intervention, a subject undergoing an invasive or non-invasive procedure requiring a biopsy, a subject undergoing a procedure wherein a procedural error may result in hemorrhage if the subject remains anticoagulated, or a subject requiring spinal or epidural anesthesia.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the subject in need thereof is a subject receiving anticoagulation for stroke prevention, cardiac surgical and diagnostic procedures, cardiac arrhythmias, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention, pulmonary embolism, or generally for the prevention of pathologic blood clots.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coagulation inhibitor is a LMWH, and wherein the LMWH is selected from the group consisting of bemiparin, certoparin, dalteparin, enoxaparin, nadroparin, parnaparin, reviparin, and tinzaparin.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered at a dose mass ratio of between about 0.01:1 to about 1000:1 of the compound or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to anticoagulant.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the compound or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered at a dose mass ratio of about 10:1 of the compound or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to anticoagulant.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering at least one additional therapeutic agent.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one additional therapeutic agent is vitamin K.
15. A diagnostic kit comprising a compound represented by formula II:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
L and L′ are each a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 10 alkylene chain;
M and M′ are each a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 10 alkylene chain; and
Y and Y′ are each
16. The kit of claim 15 , wherein the kit is used for determining an anticoagulant concentration in blood.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a compound of formula V
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a compound of formula VI
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a compound of formula VII
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a compound of formula VIII
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is orally administered.
22. The method of claim 1 , wherein about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day of the compound is orally administered.
