Mechanism of action

DX-2930 selectively inhibits Factor XIIa (activated Factor XII), a key enzyme in the intrinsic coagulation pathway. By blocking this contact pathway component, the drug reduces pathological clot formation while preserving normal bleeding responses mediated by tissue factor pathway. This selective mechanism aims to provide antithrombotic benefit with reduced bleeding risk compared to conventional anticoagulants.
