Strategies to target factor XII or factor XI

StrategyMechanism of action
Antisense oligonucleotides Reduce hepatic synthesis of factor XII or factor XI 
Aptamers Bind factor XII or factor XI and block activity 
Antibodies Bind factor XII or factor XI and block activation or activity 
Small molecules Bind reversibly to active site of factor XIIa or factor XIa and block activity 
Polyanion antagonists Neutralize polyphosphates or nucleic acids via ionic interactions, thereby attenuating contact pathway activation
