bicyclic [1,2,4]-thiadiazole pharmacophore is described. At 160
μM, compound 8 caused 50% reduction in fibrin γ-chain cross-linking and suppressed the polymerization of α chains in
platelet-depleted human plasma clots. Fibrinolysis rates in
response to tissue plasminogen activator were directly proportional to the concentration of 8 in plasma at the time of
clotting.
