Abstract

Anticoagulants prevent blood clotting by interfering with the body’s physiological clotting process. Anticoagulants are mainly used to prevent the formation of blood clots and to stop the development of clots that have already formed. However, anticoagulants already in clinical use have many drawbacks. Conventional anticoagulants, which usually act on multiple coagulation factor targets, have proven efficacy in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease. However, there are many inconveniences in clinical application. These inconveniences include slow onset of action, narrow therapeutic window and safe dosage range, high variability of the dose-effect relationship between individuals, susceptibility of blood levels to the effects of a variety of foods or medications, genetic and environmental factors affecting absorption and metabolism, and the need for frequent monitoring and dosage adjustments. Therefore, the development of new anticoagulants is imperative. The aim of this paper is to introduce traditional and novel anticoagulants and to provide an outlook on the future development of anticoagulants.
