Used in the treatment and prevention of thrombotic conditions such as stroke, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. It functions by inhibiting Factor XI, a key component in the blood coagulation cascade, thereby reducing the risk of pathological clot formation without significantly increasing bleeding risk. This makes it a promising anticoagulant for patients undergoing surgical procedures or those with a history of cardiovascular events. Currently utilized in clinical research and therapeutic development for safer antithrombotic therapy.
