Half LifeBiphasic; terminal half-life is approximately 2.5–4.8 days.
DescriptionA plasma alpha 2 glycoprotein that accounts for the major antithrombin activity of normal plasma and also inhibits several other enzymes. It is a member of the serpin superfamily.
Indication/DiseaseShort-term replacement therapy for prevention or treatment of thromboembolism in selected patients with congenital antithrombin III deficiency at high risk for thromboembolism (i.e., those undergoing surgical or obstetrical procedures) or those with thromboembolism
PharmacodynamicsIt s the major plasma inhibitor of thrombin. Inactivation of thrombin by AT-III occurs by formation of a covalent bond resulting in an inactive 1:1 stoichiometric complex between the two, involving an interaction of the active serine of thrombin and an arginine reactive site on AT-III. AT-III is also capable of inactivating other components of the coagulation cascade including factors IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa, as well as plasmin.
Mechanism of ActionNeutralizes serine proteinases such as thrombin, plasmin, and activated coagulation factors IX, X, XI, and XII; Principally neutralizes thrombin and activated coagulation factor X (Xa); Neutralization of factor Xa prevents thrombin generation (e.g., decreased formation of prothrombin fragment 1.2 [F1 and F2]); Neutralization of thrombin prevents conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin; lowly and irreversibly complexes stoichiometrically with these coagulation factors; such reactions are rapid in presence of endogenous heparin-like proteoglycans or exogenous heparin; Inhibits thrombus formation.
ToxicityNA
Metabolism<5% metabolized to low molecular weight breakdown products.
AbsorptionTherapeutic target plasma concentrations in patients with congenital antithrombin III deficiency range from 80–120% of values in healthy adults. At plasma concentrations ≤70% of normal, increased thrombin generation.

Drug InteractionThe anticoagulant effect of heparin is enhanced by concurrent treatment with Antithrombin III (Human), THROMBATE III® (antithrombin) in patients with hereditary AT-III deficiency. Thus, in order to avoid bleeding, reduced dosage of heparin is recommended during treatment with THROMBATE (antithrombin) III.

Physcial Appearncepowder for solution
Route of AdministrationNA
Recommended DosageDosage should be determined on an individual basis based on the pre-therapy plasma antithrombin III (AT-III) level, in order to increase plasma AT-III levels to the level found in normal human plasma (100%). It is recommended that following an initial dose of THROMBATE (antithrombin) III, plasma levels of AT-III be initially monitored at least every 12 hours and before the next infusion of THROMBATE (antithrombin) III to maintain plasma AT-III levels greater than 80%.
ContraindicationNA
Side EffectsDizziness, chest tightness, nausea, foul taste, chills, cramps, shortness of breath, chest pain, film over eye, lightheadedness, bowel fullness, hives, fever, oozing, hematoma formation.
