Not to be confused with [[clomifene]], [[clonazepam]] ([[Klonopin]]), or [[clozapine]].
'''Aminocaproic acid''' (also known as Amicar, є-amino caproic acid, or 6-aminohexanoic acid) is a derivative and analogue of the [[amino acid]][[lysine]], which makes it an effective [[enzyme inhibitor|inhibitor]] for [[enzyme|enzymes]] which bind that particular residue. Such enzymes include[[proteolytic]] enzymes (which break down [[protein|proteins]]) including [[plasminogen]], the enzyme responsible for [[fibrinolysis]]. For this reason it is effective in treatment of some [[coagulopathy|bleeding disorders]] and is marketed as Amicar.
 
Clonidine (trade names Catapres, Kapvay, Nexiclon and others) is a sympatholytic medication used to treat high blood pressure, [[ADHD]], [[anxiety]]/[[panic disorder]], and certain pain conditions. It is classified as a centrally acting α2 adrenergic agonist. An alternative hypothesis that has been proposed is that clonidine acts centrally as an [[imidazoline]] receptor agonist.

==Mechanism of action==
==Mechanism of Action==
Clonidine treats high blood pressure by stimulating [[Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor|α<sub>2</sub>-receptors]] in the brain, which decreases [[peripheral vascular resistance]], lowering blood pressure. It has specificity towards the [[presynaptic]] α<sub>2</sub>-receptors in the vasomotor center in the [[brainstem]]. This binding decreases presynaptic [[calcium]] levels, thus inhibiting the release of [[norepinephrine]] (NE). The net effect is a decrease in sympathetic tone.


It has also been proposed that the antihypertensive effect of clonidine is due to agonism on the I<sub>1</sub>-receptor ([[imidazoline receptor]]), which mediates the sympatho-inhibitory actions of imidazolines to lower blood pressure.
Aminocaproic acid works as an anti-fibrinolytic or anti-proteolytic. As a lysine [[analogue]], it binds reversibly to the [[kringle domain]] of the enzyme [[plasminogen]] and blocks binding of [[fibrin]], which is normally activated to [[plasmin]].
 
Its mechanism of action in the treatment of [[ADHD]] is to increase noradrenergic tone in the [[prefrontal cortex]] (PFC) directly by binding to postsynaptic [[alpha-2A adrenergic receptor|α<sub>2A</sub> adrenergic receptors]] and indirectly by increasing [[norepinephrine]] input from the [[locus coeruleus]].<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = CATAPRES (CLONIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE) TABLET [BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM PHARMACEUTICALS INC.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=d7f569dc-6bed-42dc-9bec-940a9e6b090d | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 5 February 2014 }}</ref>

Overview

Aminocaproic acid (also known as Amicar, є-amino caproic acid, or 6-aminohexanoic acid) is a derivative and analogue of the amino acidlysine, which makes it an effective inhibitor for enzymes which bind that particular residue. Such enzymes includeproteolytic enzymes (which break down proteins) including plasminogen, the enzyme responsible for fibrinolysis. For this reason it is effective in treatment of some bleeding disorders and is marketed as Amicar.

Mechanism of Action

Aminocaproic acid works as an anti-fibrinolytic or anti-proteolytic. As a lysine analogue, it binds reversibly to the kringle domain of the enzyme plasminogen and blocks binding of fibrin, which is normally activated to plasmin.
