What drug that is not an antibiotic is approved for the specific indication of sepsis because of its anticoagulant properties?

Xigris (Drotrecogin alfa) is not an antibiotic but is approved for the specific indication of sepsis because of its anticoagulant properties.

Xigris (Drotrecogin alfa) is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the reduction of mortality in adult patients with severe sepsis who have a high risk of death. Xigris (Drotrecogin alfa) is placed under the class of serine proteases and it has anticoagulant, anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and profibrinolytic properties.

Answer;

Drotrecogin Alfa (xigris)

Explanation;

Xigris (drotrecogin alfa (activated)) is a recombinant form of human activated protein C. Drotrecogin alfa (activated) is a serine protease with the same amino acid sequence as human plasma-derived activated protein C.

Xigris (drotrecogin alfa)  is indicated or used  for the reduction of mortality in adult patients with severe sepsis (sepsis associated with acute organ dysfunction) who have a high risk of death.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
