| Research Abstract |
A human coagulation factor XIa (F-XIa) at intravenous dose levels of ng/kg causeda potent antitussive activities on intractable coughs such as coughs occurring inACE-inhibitor treated, sub-acute bronchitic or GERD-like models of guinea pigs. It wassuggested that F-XIa itself may have a potent antitussive activity and that its activitymay be associated with a coagulation activity of F-XIa. In addition, it was suggestedthat the site of action of F-XIa may be in the periphery.
