K11777 deactivates enzymes called cysteine proteases, which a schistosome needs to digest proteins drawn from human blood. Patents for this new generation of plasminogen activators and proteases have been filed and the lead protein has shown promising fibrinolytic activity in in vitro tests. The hemagglutinin glycoprotein is produced as a precursor, HA0, which requires posttranslational cleavage by host proteases before infectious virus particles can be produced (3). |
