- Mechanism of action
VT-111 operates through a novel mechanism of action by promoting an anti-inflammatory response that reduces monocyte/macrophage infiltration into damaged vasculature via the mammalian urokinase type plasminogin activator receptor (uPAR). Monocyte/macrophages are key cellular players in the inflammation process and are considered to have an important role in atherosclerosis, restenosis and vasculopathy. Studies indicate that VT-111 achieves this anti-inflammatory result through the inhibition of the human serine proteases that regulate inflammatory influx of monocyte/macrophages into damaged tissues.

- General Function
- Converts the abundant, but inactive, zymogen plasminogen to plasmin by hydrolyzing a single Arg-Val bond in plasminogen. By controlling plasmin-mediated proteolysis, it plays an important role in tissue remodeling and degradation, in cell migration and many other physiopathological events. During oocyte activation, plays a role in cortical granule reaction in the zona reaction, which contributes to the block to polyspermy (By similarity)
