Pharmacodynamics

Gabexate bind and inhibits serine proteases in the coagulation cascade to prevent blood clotting.3 It also prevents proteolytic destruction of IkappaB resulting in suppression of the nuclear factor kappa-B signalling pathway.1 Ultimately this decreases the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha which are produced as a result of NFkappaB activation.

Mechanism of action

Gabexate inhibits kallikrein, plasmin, and thrombin by binding to their active sites.2,3 The inhibition of these components of the coagulation cascade ultimately prevents the formation of fibrin which must be present and polymerized to form a clot. Gabexate decreases the production of inflammatory cytokines by attenuating NFkappaB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway activity.1 The exact mechanism for this is unknown but it is thought that gabexate prevents the proteolyytic destruction of IkappaB which deactivates NFkappaB and interferes with activator protein 1 binding to DNA.
