Experience 2.0
Direct thrombin inhibitor peptide
Bivalirudin is a synthetic 20-residue peptide anticoagulant derived conceptually from the thrombin-binding properties of hirudin. Its N-terminal D-phenylalanine-containing sequence binds the catalytic site of thrombin while a C-terminal region engages thrombin’s fibrin-recognition exosite; thrombin can subsequently cleave the molecule, contributing to reversible inhibition. It acts directly on circulating and clot-bound thrombin without requiring antithrombin. The molecule is established in percutaneous coronary intervention, while use in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiopulmonary bypass, pediatric procedures, and other settings has a different and often off-label evidence and regulatory context.

This score estimates how strongly this source can support scientific claims. It is not a prestige score, and the grade does not transfer automatically to every claim that cites the source.
Grade guide: A+/A is the strongest represented support; B+/B is substantial but qualified; C is limited, indirect, observational, or preclinical; D/E is weak, mechanistic-only, anecdotal, or insufficient.
Provisional ratings are automated baselines from structured metadata. They are not completed full-text risk-of-bias reviews and may change after editorial assessment.
Methodology: WPF-ESR-1.0
