ximelagatran
Ximelagatran is an anticoagulant that has been investigated extensively as a replacement for warfarin that would overcome the problematic dietary, drug interaction, and monitoring issues associated with warfarin therapy. In 2006, its manufacturer AstraZeneca announced that it would withdraw pending applications for marketing approval after reports of hepatotoxicity during trials, and discontinue its distribution in countries where the drug had been approved. — Wikipedia

Mechanism of action
- ThrombinINHIBITOR
F2 inhibitor
Ximelagatran is a prodrug that undergoes rapid enzymatic conversion to the active compound melagatran. Melagatran is a potent, competitive, and reversible direct inhibitor binding to the active site of soluble and clot-bound ¿-thrombin. It inhibits coagulation.
Melagatran, the active molecule, binds to the arginine side pocket of thrombin.
