Metabolite Identification
Common NameTranexamic Acid
DescriptionTranexamic Acid, also known as tranexmate or acido tranexamico, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as amino acids. These are organic compounds that contain at least one carboxyl group and one amino group. Tranexamic Acid is a drug which is used for use in patients with hemophilia for short term use (two to eight days) to reduce or prevent hemorrhage and reduce the need for replacement therapy during and following tooth extraction. it can also be used for excessive bleeding in menstruation, surgery, or trauma cases. Tranexamic Acid is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. Tranexamic Acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). In humans, tranexamic Acid is involved in tranexamic acid action pathway. It is an antifibrinolytic hemostatic used in severe hemorrhage. Oral LD50 in mice is >10 gm/kg. In patients with hereditary angioedema, inhibition of the formation and activity of plasmin by tranexamic acid may prevent attacks of angioedema by decreasing plasmin-induced activation of the first complement protein (C1). Tranexamic acid in a concentration of 1 mg per mL does not aggregate platelets in vitro. Tranexamic acid is about 10 times more potent in vitro than aminocaproic acid.
