Anticoagulant · Cardiology
Bivalirudin (Angiomax)

Direct thrombin inhibitor peptide for PCI anticoagulation.

Mechanism

Synthetic 20-amino-acid peptide that reversibly and directly inhibits thrombin (both circulating and fibrin-bound). Used for anticoagulation during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Research areas
  • PCI anticoagulation
  • Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Renal dose adjustment required.

Echinocandin · Antifungal
Micafungin (Mycamine)

Echinocandin antifungal for Candida infections and prophylaxis.

Mechanism

Semi-synthetic echinocandin lipopeptide that inhibits β-1,3-D-glucan synthase, fungicidal against most Candida species.

Research areas
  • Invasive candidiasis
  • Esophageal candidiasis
  • Stem-cell transplant prophylaxis
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Generally well-tolerated; monitor LFTs.
