New chromogenic peptide substrates for factor X.

Abstract

The factor Xa-sensitive substrate BZ-Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-p-nitroanilide has been made more sensitive by making ester and amide derivatives of the gamma-carboxyl group of the glutamyl residue. The morpholinyl and piperidyl amides react 2.5 times more rapidly with factor Xa.

[Inactivation of factor X by plasmin].

Plasmin does not activate factor X into the enzyme--factor Xa. On the contrary, the enzyme inactivates factor X, rendering it incapable of conversion into factor Xa during incubation in 25% sodium citrate. After proteolysis by plasmin the prothrombin preparations contaminated with factor X lose their ability to generate thrombin. This ability is partially restored by an addition of factor X.
