Generation of fibrinolytic activity and reduction of antiplasmin are concentration-depending time reactions. Destruction of complement C1 occurs almost instantaneously. Minor molecular modifications abolish all three activities of the compounds. Full Text References References 1 von Kaulla K. N. Chemical structure and fibrinolysis induction in vitro.
