Fibrinolytic enzyme activator. A proteolytic enzyme discovered in human urine in 1947, it activates plasminogen in plasma and promotes the formation of plasmin, and is therefore used to treat various types of thrombosis and embolism, as well as in combination with anticancer drugs such as mitomycin C. This is because plasmin dissolves fibrin produced during blood clotting and increases the permeability of cell membranes, dissolving thrombi and embolisms and dissolving fibrin surrounding cancer cells, enhancing the penetration of anticancer drugs into cancer cells. In addition to preparations extracted and purified from human urine, there are also preparations made from human kidney tissue cultures, and these are used only as infusion drugs. Usually, one bottle contains 6,000 units, 24,000 units, or 60,000 units. [Fumiji Koho] [Reference] | |Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
線維素(フィブリン)溶解酵素賦活剤。1947年にヒトの尿中から発見されたタンパク分解酵素で、血漿(けっしょう)中に存在するプラスミノーゲンを活性化してプラスミンの形成を促すところから、各種血栓症、塞栓症(そくせんしょう)の治療のほか、マイトマイシンCなどの制癌(せいがん)剤との併用効果を適応としている。これはプラスミンが血液凝固の際に生じるフィブリンを溶解したり、細胞膜の透過性を亢進(こうしん)する作用を有するので、血栓や塞栓を溶解したり、癌細胞を取り囲むフィブリンを溶解し制癌剤の癌細胞への滲達(しんたつ)性を強めるためである。 ヒトの尿から抽出精製した製剤のほか、ヒト腎(じん)組織培養により製したものもあり、点滴注射薬としてのみ使用される。普通、1瓶中に6000単位、2万4000単位、6万単位含有のものが用いられる。 [幸保文治] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
