BivalirudinTrifluoroacetate is a specific, reversible and direct thrombin inhibitor with a predictable anticoagulant effect.

In patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function, bivalirudin exihibited several notable mechanistic advantages when compared with unfractionated heparin. Bivalirudin showed activity against clot-bound thrombin, inhibition of thrombin-induced platelet activation, short plasma half-life (25 minutes)[1]. Bivalirudin inhibited both circulating thrombin and fibrin bound thrombin directly by binding to thrombin catalytic site and anion-binding exosite I in a concentration-dependent manner. Bivalirudin prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time and activated clotting time (ACT). ACT levels activated by bivalirudin showed no correlation with its clinical efficacy [1]. When compared to heparin alone or heparin in combination with-a GpIIb/IIIa inhibitor, bivalirudin had shown less in-hospital major bleeding. Bivalirudin was safe and effective during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, indicated the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin [1].
