Anti-platelet peptides targeting αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling pathway
Curr Protein Pept Sci. 2022 Nov 14. doi: 10.2174/1389203724666221114113413. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlatelets and their progenitors express high levels of integrin αIIbβ3, which plays a key role in platelet functions, hemostasis, and arterial thrombosis. Because of their quick and high efficacy, the three anti-αIIbβ3 drugs, abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban, are regarded as potent anti-thrombotics and clinically approved by US Food and Drug Administration. However, because they interfere with the inside-out signaling of αⅡbβ3, which is required for stable platelet adhesion and aggregation, the applicatio...

Eptifibatide-induced acute profound thrombocytopenia: A case report
Conclusion: Eptifibatide, a glycoprotein IIa/IIIb inhibitor used in the management of acute coronary syndrome, can induce acute, profound thrombocytopenia that can have significant morbidity in patients. This case highlights this relatively rare side effect and the importance of monitoring blood counts and observing for any signs of bleeding or thrombosis that might occur in such patients.

Eptifibatide use in ischemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy: A matched cohort analysis
ConclusionIn this single-center analysis, EPT use during EVT was associated with a significantly higher rate of PH1/PH2 grade hemorrhages, but not with differences in sICH, 24-h NIHSS, or 90-day mortality. Randomized prospective trials are needed to determine the safety and efficacy of EPT in this population. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

A sensitive and adaptable method to measure platelet-fibrin clot contraction kinetics
CONCLUSIONS: Our system is an adaptable platform for assessing the effects of multiple conditions and interventions on clot contraction kinetics in a regular laboratory setting, using readily available materials. The automated image processing software we developed will be made freely available for noncommercial uses. This assay system can be used to directly compare and define the effects of different treatments or genetic manipulations on platelet function and should provide a robust tool for future hemostasis/thrombosis research and therapeutic development.PMID:35873218 | PMC:PMC9301529 | DOI:10.1002/rth2.12755 (Source:...

Unraveling the role of the homoarginine residue in antiplatelet drug eptifibatide in binding to the αIIbβ3 integrin receptor
Eptifibatide is an αIIbβ3 inhibitor that is currently used in the clinic. More than 10 scientific communications indicate that eptifibatide has a Lys-Gly-Asp or Arg-Gly-Asp sequence, while it actually has a hArg-Gly-Asp sequence. We aimed to unravel the importance of the homoarginine residue in eptifibatide in plate let activation and aggregation.Arg- and Lys-eptifibatide were synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis and measured in light transmission aggregometry, flow cytometry and whole blood thrombus formation under flow.

E-055 Internal carotid artery reconstruction with flow diverting stents in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke: technical considerations and medical management
ConclusionsFDS appear to be a safe and effective tool for reconstruction of a symptomatic dissection in tortuous cervical ICAs. Their flexibility allows conformation to complex anatomies and they can be traversed multiple times by aspiration catheters/stentrievers. We found excellent patency at follow up. The unique challenges posed by utilization of high-profile stents in acute stroke require appropriate technical execution and medical management.Disclosures E. Orru: None. F. Bounni: None. M.
