Patent

CA 2194692

The invention provides a method of causing the degradation of fibrin(ogen) (i.e., fibrin, fibrinogen, and related substances) by means of a fibrinolytic metalloproteinase, preferably an endogenous metalloproteinase such as MMP-3. The method of the invention can be performed in vitro to provide diagnostic information characterizing fibrin(ogen) and fibrinolytic physiology. The method can also be performed in vivo as a method of thrombolytic therapy in which a fibrinolytic metalloproteinase is administered to a subject to degrade thrombus in situ. The endogenous fibrinolytic metalloproteinase can be administered in conjunction with other active agents, preferably with agents having thrombolytic activity to improve thrombolytic and fibrinolytic therapy. The invention further provides compositions containing a fibrinolytic metalloproteinase for the performance of fibrinolytic or thrombolytic procedures. Also provided are kits which include a fibrinolytic metalloproteinase for performing fibrinolytic or thrombolytic procedures.

Cette invention concerne un procédé qui permet de provoquer la décomposition de la fibrine (fibrinogène) (c'est-à-dire la fibrine, la fibrinogène et les substances associées) à l'aide d'une métalloprotéase fibrinolytique de préférence une métalloprotéase endogène telle que MMP-3. On peut réaliser ce procédé in vitro pour obtenir des informations de diagnostic caractérisant la fibrine (fibrinogène) et la physiologie fibrinolytique; et in vivo comme procédé de thérapie thrombolytique dans laquelle on administre à un individu une métalloprotéase fibrinolytique pour décomposer le thrombus in situ. On peut administrer la métalloprotéase fibrolytique endogène en conjonction avec d'autres agents actifs, de préférence avec des agents possédant une activité thrombolytique, pour améliorer la thérapie thrombolytique et fibrinolytique. Cette invention concerne également des compositions contenant une métalloprotéase fibrinolytique qu'on utilise pour des procédures fibrinolytiques ou thrombolytiques, et des kits qui contiennent une métalloprotéase fibrinolytique qu'on utilise pour des procédures fibrinolytiques ou thrombolytiques.
