Antifibrinolytic

Antifibrinolytics are a class of medication that are inhibitors of fibrinolysis.^[1] Examples include aminocaproic acid (ε-aminocaproic acid) and tranexamic acid. These lysine-like drugs interfere with the formation of the fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin from its precursor plasminogen by plasminogen activators (primarily t-PA and u-PA) which takes place mainly in lysine rich areas on the surface of fibrin.^{[citation needed]}
