"Defibrotide has multiple and complex mechanisms of action, including anti-inflammatory, antiatherosclerotic, anti-ischemic, and antithrombotic properties.1,4,7 Studies with defibrotide have also demonstrated increased plasmin activity, promotion of fibrinolysis via upregulation of tissue plasminogen activator and inhibition of tissue factor pathway, reduced circulating levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and increased concentration of endogenous prostaglandins (I2 and E2), which modulate thrombomodulin, platelets, and fibrinolysis"
