Abstract
As new anticoagulants become available, and the number of anticoagulated patients continues to rise, it is necessary to know how to deal with associated bleeding complications. In this review, reversal strategies for traditional anticoagulants (warfarin and heparin) as well as newer anticoagulants are described. Prothrombin complex concentrates (PPCs) can be used to reverse vitamin K antagonists (VKA), and plasma may be used where they are not available. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) may be useful to reverse pentasaccharide anticoagulants. 1-Desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP), cryoprecipitate, PCCs, and dialysis may help to reverse direct thrombin inhibitors, while rFVIIa seems to be ineffective. The effect of direct factor Xa inhibitors may be reversed by PCCs, FVIIa, or factor Xa concentrates.

Abstract
Heparin is the mainstay in the treatment and prevention of thrombosis in such diverse clinical settings as venous thromboembolism, acute coronary syndrome, cardiopulmonary bypass, and hemodialysis. However, the major complication of heparin - like that of all anticoagulants - is bleeding. Heparin may need to be reversed in the following settings: clinically significant bleeding; prior to an invasive procedure; at the conclusion of a procedure involving extracorporeal circulation (e.g., cardiopulmonary bypass, dialysis). This chapter discusses protamine sulfate, as well as several other agents that are able to neutralize heparin, including their pharmacological properties, indications, dosing, and efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although protamine is effective as an antidote of heparin, there is a need to replace protamine due to its side effects. HIP peptide has been reported to neutralize the anticoagulant activity of heparin. The interaction of HIP analog peptides with heparin and heparin-derived oligosaccharides is investigated in this paper. METHODS Seven analogues of the heparin-binding domain of heparin/heparan sulfate-interacting protein (HIP) were synthesized, and their interaction with heparin was characterized by heparin affinity chromatography, isothermal titration calorimetry, and NMR. RESULTS NMR results indicate the imidazolium groups of the His side chains of histidine-containing Hip analog peptide interact site-specifically with heparin at pH 5.5. Heparin has identical affinities for HIP analog peptides of opposite chirality. Analysis by counterion condensation theory indicates the peptide AC-SRPKAKAKAKAKDQTK-NH2 makes on average approximately 3 ionic interactions with heparin that result in displacement of approximately 2 Na+ ions, and ionic interactions account for approximately 46% of the binding free energy at a Na+ concentration of 0.15 M. CONCLUSIONS The affinity of heparin for the peptides is strongly dependent on the nature of the cationic side chains and pH. The thermodynamic parameters measured for the interaction of HIP peptide analogs with heparin are strongly dependent on the peptide sequence and pH. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The information obtained in this research will be of use in the design of new agents for neutralization of the anticoagulant activity of heparin. The site-specific binding of protonated histidine side chains to heparin provides a molecular-level explanation for the pH-dependent binding of beta-amyloid peptides by heparin and heparan sulfate proteoglycan and may have implications for amyloid formation.

Abstract
The branched pentasaccharide chain of ganglioside GM1 is a prominent cell surface ligand, for example, for cholera toxin or tumor growth-regulatory homodimeric galectins. This activity profile via protein recognition prompted us to examine the binding properties of peptides with this specificity. Our study provides insights into the mechanism of molecular interaction of this thus far unexplored size limit of the protein part. We used three pentadecapeptides in a combined approach of mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy and molecular modelling to analyze the ligand binding in solution. Availability of charged and hydrophobic functionalities affected the intramolecular flexibility of the peptides differently. Backfolding led to restrictions in two cases; the flexibility was not reduced significantly by association of the ligand in its energetically privileged conformations. Major contributions to the interaction energy arise from the sialic acid moiety contacting Arg/Lys residues and the N-terminal charge. Considerable involvement of stacking between the monovalent ligand and aromatic rings could not be detected. This carbohydrate binding strategy is similar to how an adenoviral fiber knob targets sialylated glycans. Rational manipulation for an affinity enhancement can now be directed to reduce the flexibility, exploit the potential for stacking and acquire the cross-linking capacity of the natural lectins by peptide attachment to a suitable scaffold.

Abstract
A mutual induced fit mechanism is responsible for the exceptional complexation performances exhibited by calix[8]arene polycations towards heparin. The recognition process was studied in comparison with two other heparin antagonists: protamine and polylysine. The arrangement of multiple functional groups on the flexible macrocyclic scaffold of calix[8]arene, with respect to the conformationally rigid protamine and low ordered polylysine, allowed a mutual adaptability between calixarene polycations and heparin, significantly enhancing the recognition performances. Fluorescence, NMR titration, and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) experiments confirmed that these calixarene derivatives have a very high specificity and affinity towards heparin neutralization as in aqueous solution as in blood. Analogous results were obtained with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) whose effect protamine is unable to completely reverse.

Abstract
Despite its nearly universal applications, protamine, a mixture of four major peptides with different sequences, is associated with clinically significant side effects. Through a well-designed enzyme digestion method, various low molecular weight protamine peptides were obtained. Among them, two low molecular weight protamine peptides with the same or even more potent heparin neutralization abilities as native protamine were identified through both in vitro and in vivo tests. In addition, in vivo experiments showed that compared to native protamine, these two low molecular weight protamine peptides were less toxic and would be safer for clinical use.

Abstract
This review summarizes a series of studies demonstrating that heparan sulfate proteoglycans act to promote the growth and metastasis of myeloma and breast tumors, two tumors that home to, and grow within, bone. Much of the growth-promoting effect of proteoglycans in these tumors may reside in the shed form of syndecan-1 that acts to favorably condition the tumor microenvironment. Moreover, the interplay between heparan sulfate and the extracellular enzyme heparanase-1 also has important regulatory implications. Recent studies indicate that the activity of heparanase, which likely releases heparin sulfate-bound growth factors and generates highly active heparan sulfate fragments, also promotes growth and metastasis of myeloma and breast tumors. Understanding the role of heparan sulfate and heparanase in the regulation of tumor behavior may lead to new therapeutic approaches for treating cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate if the preoperative use of new platelet inhibitors and low-molecular-weight heparins may contribute to bleeding after cardiac surgery. DESIGN Retrospective data review. SETTING University teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS One hundred eleven patients divided in 5 groups. INTERVENTIONS Patients were grouped according to preoperative antithrombotic regimen: group 1, control, no agents (n=55); group 2, clopidogrel (n=9); group 3, enoxaparin (n=17); group 4, any GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor (n=14); and group 5, any drug combination (n=15). Data included cumulative mediastinal chest tube drainage, allogeneic blood transfusions, total blood donor exposures, and re-exploration. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Use of any drug (groups 2-5) resulted in greater total blood transfusions and donor exposure (p=0.0003) than control, especially red cells (p=0.002) and platelets (p=0.006). A greater percentage of patients on enoxaparin required mediastinal re-exploration for nonsurgical bleeding versus control (3/17 v 0/55, p=0.001). The use of enoxaparin was associated with significantly higher chest tube output after the first 24 hours postoperatively (p=0.048). CONCLUSION Newer antithrombotic agents were associated with greater transfusion rates and total donor exposures. Enoxaparin use was associated with greater overall blood loss and with higher incidence of mediastinal re-exploration. The relative risk-benefit ratio of reduced periprocedure morbidity versus increased bleeding complications has yet to be determined.

Abstract
Abstract
Patients given unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for prophylaxis or treatment of thrombosis sometimes suffer serious bleeding. We showed previously that peptides containing 3 or more tandem repeats of heparin-binding consensus sequences have high affinity for LMWH and neutralize LMWH (enoxaparin) in vivo in rats and in vitro in citrate. We have now modified the (ARKKAAKA)n tandem repeat peptides by cyclization or by inclusion of hydrophobic tails or cysteines to promote multimerization. These peptides exhibit high-affinity binding to LMWH (dissociation constant [Kd], ≈ 50 nM), similar potencies in neutralizing anti–Factor Xa activity of UFH and enoxaparin added to normal plasma in vitro, and efficacy equivalent to or greater than protamine. Peptide (ARKKAAKA)3VLVLVLVL was most effective in all plasmas from enoxaparin-treated patients, and was 4- to 20-fold more effective than protamine. Several other peptide structures were effective in some patients' plasmas. All high-affinity peptides reversed inhibition of thrombin-induced clot formation by UFH. These peptides (1 mg/300 g rat) neutralized 1 U/mL anti–Factor Xa activity of enoxaparin in rats within 1 to 2 minutes. Direct blood pressure and heart rate measurements showed little or no hemodynamic effect. These heparin-binding peptides, singly or in combination, are potential candidates for clinical reversal of UFH and LMWH in humans.

Abstract
6A6 is a murine monoclonal antibody raised against the humanized anti-tissue factor antibody D3H44. 6A6 is able to completely neutralize the anticoagulant activity of D3H44 in tissue factor-dependent functional assays, such as endotoxin-induced whole blood clotting, prothrombin time, as well as factor X and factor IX activation. ELISA-type assays further showed that 6A6 binds to an epitope with critical determinants on the V(L) domain of D3H44. The possibility that the anti-idiotypic 6A6 might carry an "internal image" of the original antigen (tissue factor) was examined using the X-ray structure of the 6A6-Fab/D3H44-Fab complex determined at 2.5A resolution. We find that 6A6 structurally mimics tissue factor only so far as it combines with the antigen recognition surface of D3H44. While 6A6 contacts both V(L) and V(H) domains of D3H44, as does tissue factor, there is more contact with the D3H44 V(L) domain and less with the D3H44 V(H) domain relative to the tissue factor contacts on D3H44. Additionally, there is an almost total lack of correspondence between 6A6 and tissue factor at the level of amino acid side-chain functional groups. Despite the fact that both tissue factor and 6A6 are composed largely of beta-sheets, they present fundamentally different elements of secondary structure to D3H44; tissue factor presents beta-sheets edge-on, while 6A6 uses mostly loops. Finally, the finding that 6A6 competes with tissue factor for D3H44 binding raises the possibility of using 6A6 as an antidote for D3H44 anticoagulant therapy. To this end, we constructed a chimeric murine/human 6A6-Fab, which effectively neutralized D3H44 and fully restored tissue factor function in enzymatic assays.

Abstract
Antithrombotic, antiplatelet, and fibrinolytic agents are the mainstay for the management of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). In addition to their well-documented efficacy, these pharmacologic agents have the potential for the untoward effect of bleeding. Recent data suggest medication errors related to the dose, duration, and concomitant use of these agents contribute to increasing the risk of hemorrhage in patients treated for ACS. In the event of a major hemorrhage, clinicians should be aware of strategies used to reverse the pharmacologic effects of the offending agent. This paper critically assesses literature directed toward reversal of agents based on drug-specific pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters.

Abstract
Despite extensive progress in determining structures within heparin and heparan sulfate (Hp/HS) and the discovery of numerous proteinaceous binding partners for Hp/HS so far; the only detailed characterization of a specific protein-glycosaminoglycan interaction is antithrombin III (ATIII) binding to a Hp pentasaccharide containing a unique 3-O-sulfated glucosamine residue. Previously, it was reported from our laboratories that a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminus of human HIP/RPL29 (HIP peptide-1) enriched for ATIII-dependent anticoagulant activity, presumably by specifically binding the ATIII pentasaccharide. Herein, we demonstrate that HIP peptide-1 cannot enrich ATIII-dependent anticoagulant activity from a starting pool of porcine intestinal mucosa Hp through a bio-specific interaction. However, a HIP peptide-1 column can be used to enrich for anticoagulantly active Hp from a diverse pool of glycosaminoglycans known as Hp byproducts by a mechanism of nonspecific charge interactions. Thus, HIP peptide-1 cannot recognize Hp via bio-specific interactions but binds glycosaminoglycans by non-specific charge interactions.
