title: Effect of epsilon-aminocaproylamino acids on fibrin formation.
abstract: Effect of three epsilon-aminocaproylamino acids with significant antifibrinolytic activity on polymerization of fibrin monomer, clot retraction, fibrin structure, prothrombin consumption and thrombin activity was examined. epsilon-Aminocaproyl-L-norleucine and epsilon-aminocaproyl-L-leucine were weak inhibitors of thrombin activity and epsilon-aminocaproyl-L-norleucine slightly inhibited polymerization of fibrin monomers.
