Pathway Description
Aprotinin Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Aprotinin is an inhibitor that is used to prevent blood loss during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. It slows the breakdown of fibrin clots to reduce bleeding plasminogen and kallikrein. The drug is slowly metabolized by lysosomal enzymes and is eliminated through the urine over 48 hours.
