- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB05685
- Background
FX06 is a naturally occurring peptide derived from the neo-N-terminus of fibrin (Bbeta(15-42)). It prevents leukocyte migration through the gap junctions of endothelial cells. FX06 has proven safe in acute and subchronic toxicological studies and recently entered clinical development. It is being developed by Fibrex Medical Inc.

- Mechanism of action
FX06 has a novel mechanism of action: it is a competitive inhibitor of the binding of fibrin E1 fragments to vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin. Through this inhibition, it potently blocks the transmigration of inflammatory leukocytes through the endothelial barrier and prevents the downstream release of tissue-damaging mediators.
