HIDE SMILES / InChI
Nafamostat mesilate (NM), a synthetic serine protease inhibitor, has anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory properties. Nafamostat is approved and marketed in Japan. It relieves symptoms such as pain due to inflammation of the spleen. It improves visceral disorders and bleeding tendency caused by blood clotting tendency in the vessels. It prevents coagulation in the blood circuit during hemodialysis. It is usually used to improve acute symptoms of pancreatitis (acute pancreatitis, acute exacerbation phase of chronic pancreatitis, post-operative acute pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis after pancreatography, traumatic pancreatitis) and to prevent disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and clotting of perfusing blood in extracorporeal blood circuit. Nafamostat mesilate significantly inhibits the release of platelet beta-thromboglobulin (beta TG) at 60 and 120 min. Nafamostat mesilate (NM) prevents any significant release of neutrophil elastase; at 120 min, plasma elastase-alpha 1-antitrypsin complex is 0.16 mg/mL in the NM group and 1.24 mg/mL in the control group. Nafamostat mesilate completely inhibits formation of complexes of C1 inhibitor with kallikrein and FXIIa.

Sample Use Guides

Acute Kidney Injury: Initial dose of nafamostat mesilate is 20mg/hr. Dosage is adjusted from 10mg to 30mg/hr according to patients' status. For priming, two vial of nafamostat mesilate was dissolved in 2mL of 5% glucose fluid, and then mixed with 1000mL of normal saline. After carefully removing air bubble from the circuit with the prepared fluid, nafamostat mesilate was dissolved with 15 mL of 5% glucose fluid and loaded in anticoagulation line with starting dose of 20mg/hr.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Nafamostat inhibited extrinsic pathway activity (TF-F.VIIa mediated-F.Xa generation) in a concentration dependent manner; the IC50 was 1.0 x 10(-7) M. Nafamostat inhibited TF-F.VIIa complex activity with an IC50 of 1.5 x 10(-7) M.
