FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Aminocaproic acid works as an antifibrinolytic. It is a derivative of the amino acid lysine. The fibrinolysis-inhibitory effects of aminocaproic acid appear to be exerted principally via inhibition of plasminogen activators and to a lesser degree through antiplasmin activity. Aminocaproic acid may be a possible prophylactic for vascular disease, as it may prevent formation of lipoprotein (a), a risk factor for vascular disease.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Antifibrinolytic Agents

Agents that prevent fibrinolysis or lysis of a blood clot or thrombus. Several endogenous antiplasmins are known. The drugs are used to control massive hemorrhage and in other coagulation disorders. (See all compounds classified as Antifibrinolytic Agents.)

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Absorbed rapidly following oral administration. In adults, oral absorption appears to be a zero-order process with an absorption rate of 5.2 g/hr. The mean lag time in absorption is 10 minutes. After a single oral dose of 5 g, absorption was complete (F=1).


Route of Elimination

Renal excretion is the primary route of elimination, whether aminocaproic acid is administered orally or intravenously.


Volume of Distribution

23.1 6.6 L


Clearance

169 mL/min

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Sixty-five percent of the dose is recovered in the urine as unchanged drug and 11% of the dose appears as the metabolite adipic acid.


5.7 Biological Half-Life

The terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2 hours.


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Aminocaproic acid binds reversibly to the kringle domain of plasminogen and blocks the binding of plasminogen to fibrin and its activation to plasmin. With NO activation of plasmin, there is a reduction in fibrinolysis. This consequently will reduce the amount of bleeding post surgery. Elevated plasma levels of lipoprotein(a) have been shown to increase the risk of vascular disease. Lipoprotein 9a)a has two components, apolipoprotein B-100, linked to apolipoprotein (a). Aminocaproic acid may change the conformation of apoliprotein (a), changing its binding properties and potentially preventing the formation of lipoprotein (a).


A COMPETITIVE INHIBITOR OF ACTIVATORS OF PROFIBRINOLYSIN &, TO LESSER EXTENT, OF FIBRINOLYSIN. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT SUPPRESSES FORMATION OF FIBRINOLYSIN, AN ENZYME WHICH DESTROYS FIBRINOGEN, FIBRIN, & OTHER CLOTTING COMPONENTS.

MICROCALORIMETRY AND UV AND IR SPECTROSCOPY WERE USED TO STUDY THE INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS OF PLASMINOGEN AND PLASMIN WITH EPSILON-AMINOCAPROIC ACID (I) TO DETERMINE THE MECHANISM OF FIBRINOLYSIS INHIBITION. AT LOW DOSES, THE INHIBITORY EFFECT WAS DUE MAINLY TO BLOCKADE OF THE STAGE OF ACTIVATION OF PLASMINOGEN, WHEREAS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF I WAS ACHIEVED ALSO BY INACTIVATION OF THE ENZYMIC ACTIVITY OF PLASMIN.
