title: Synthesis and activity of dipeptides containing epsilon-aminocaproic acid.
abstract: Five new dipeptides containing epsilon-aminocaproic acid were synthesized. All dipeptides markedly inhibit fibrinolytic activity of plasmin but only in low concentration (0.0002M). In higher concentration fibrinolytic activity was observed. Activity of dipeptides containing epsilon-aminocaproic acid, which antifibrinolytic activity is known, was tested on plasmin, thrombin, urokinase and euglobulin fraction using synthetic substrates.
