Anistreplase is a thrombolytic drug.[1][2][3]
Anistreplase has been developed by Beecham as Eminase. It is also known as anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase activator complex (APSAC)
[edit] Mechanism
It converts plasminogen to plasmin, which in turn degrades fibrin (blood clots) to fibrin split products.
