Description：Apixaban (BMS-562247-01) is a highly selective, reversible and orally active inhibitor of Factor Xa with Ki of 0.08 nM and 0.17 nM in human and rabbit, respectively. Apixaban is in development for the prevention and treatment of various thromboembolic diseases.

In Vitro：Apixaban (BMS-562247-01) prolongs the clotting times of normal human plasma with the concentrations (EC2x) of 3.6 μM, 0.37 μM, 7.4 μM, and 0.4 μM, which are required respectively to double the prothrombin time (PT), modified prothrombin time (mPT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and HepTest. Besides, Apixaban shows the highest potency in human and rabbit plasma, but less potency in rat and dog plasma in both the PT and APTT assays[2].

In Vivo：Apixaban (BMS-562247-01) shows the excellent pharmacokinetics with very low clearance (Cl: 0.02 L/kg/h), and low volume of distribution (Vdss: 0.2 L/kg) in the dogs. Besides, Apixaban also exhibits a moderate half-life (T1/2: 5.8 hours) and good oral bioavailability (F: 58%)[1]. In the arteriovenous-shunt thrombosis (AVST), venous thrombosis (VT) and electrically mediated carotid arterial thrombosis (ECAT) rabbit models, Apixaban produces dose-dependent antithrombotic effects with EC50 of 270 nM, 110 nM and 70 nM, respectively[2]. Apixaban significantly inhibits factor Xa activity with IC50 of 0.22 μM in rabbit ex vivo[3]. In chimpanzee, Apixaban also shows small volume of distribution (Vdss: 0.17 L/kg), low systemic clearance (Cl: 0.018 L/kg/h), and good oral bioavailability (F: 59%)[4].

Animal Administration：Briefly, male New Zealand White rabbits are anesthetized with ketamine (50 mg/kg i.m.) and xylazine (10 mg/kg i.m.), and their femoral artery, jugular vein and femoral vein are catheterized. Thrombosis is induced by an arteriovenous (AV)-shunt device containing a silk thread. Blood flowed from the femoral artery via the AV shunt into the opposite femoral vein for 40 min. The shunt is then disconnected and the silk thread covered with thrombus is weighed. As apixaban has an oral bioavailability of 50 value (dose that produced 50% inhibition of thrombus formation) is determined as described below. The apixaban group treatment consists of vehicle (10%N,N-dimethylacetamide; 30% 1,2-propanediol; 60% water) (n=4), and apixaban (mg/kg/h) at 0.03 (n=7), 0.1 (n=7), 0.3 (n=7), 1 (n=7), and 3 (n=3). The fondaparinux group treatment consists of vehicle (saline) (n=6), and fondaparinux (mg/kg/h1) at 0.01 (n=5), 0.03 (n=5), 0.1 (n=5), 0.3 (n=5), and 1 (n=5). The warfarin group treatment consists of vehicle (water) (n=6), and warfarin (mg/kg/day) at 0.1 (n=6), 0.3 (n=6), 1 (n=6), and 3 (n=6).

Kinase Assay：Purified FXa is obtained after activation with Russell’s viper venom followed by affinity chromatography. The resulting FXa is > 95% pure as judged by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The substrate affinity values for FXa, expressed as the Michaelis-Menten-Henri constant (Km), for human, rabbit, rat and dog FXa are determined using the chromogenic substrate S-2765, and are 36, 60, 240 and 70 μM, respectively. The substrate hydrolysis is monitored by measuring absorbance at 405 nm at 25°C for up to 30 min using a SpectraMax 384 Plus plate reader and SoftMax. FXa activity for each substrate and inhibitor concentration pair is determined in duplicate. The Ki values are calculated by non-linear least-squares fitting of the steady-state substrate hydrolysis rates to the equation for competitive inhibition (Equation 1) using GRAFIT, where v equals reactions velocity in OD min−1, Vmax equals maxiumum reaction velocity, S equals substrate concentration, and I equals inhibitor concentration.
