Hirudin is a potent anticoagulant protein originally derived from the salivary glands of the medicinal leech (Hirudo medicinalis). Its mechanism of action involves directly binding to thrombin, the enzyme responsible for converting fibrinogen into fibrin during the clotting process, thus preventing blood coagulation. This unique property makes hirudin a highly effective anticoagulant, especially in patients at risk of thrombus formation. With the advancement of biotechnology, the production of hirudin has shifted from being sourced directly from leeches to large-scale synthesis through recombinant DNA technology in laboratories. Currently, hirudin is primarily used in the treatment of thrombotic conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and certain types of strokes. It is considered an effective alternative for patients who are allergic or intolerant to traditional anticoagulants like heparin. Over the years, with increasing research into hirudin’s applications, various derivatives and related drugs, such as lepirudin and desirudin, have been developed, broadening its clinical use.
The market development of hirudin is driven by several factors. Firstly, the growing global demand for the treatment of thrombotic diseases, particularly among cardiovascular patients and post-surgical individuals, presents significant opportunities for hirudin and its derivatives. With the aging population and the increasing prevalence of thrombotic and vascular diseases, there is a rising demand for effective anticoagulants. Secondly, hirudin's unique mechanism of action offers advantages in treating certain conditions, particularly for patients who are allergic to traditional anticoagulants like heparin, further driving the market for hirudin products.
However, the hirudin market faces challenges and risks. The production cost remains high, particularly in the early stages when biotechnology was not fully developed, limiting its widespread use. Additionally, although hirudin has strong anticoagulant effects, its use requires careful monitoring of the patient's coagulation function to prevent the risk of bleeding.
In terms of market concentration, as production technologies for hirudin mature, the market has become more concentrated in the hands of a few large pharmaceutical companies that maintain their market share through acquisitions, research and development, and patented technologies. The downstream demand trend is diversifying, with hirudin finding applications not only in traditional thrombotic disease treatment but also in other coagulation disorders and post-surgical care. Recent technological advances include the recombinant production of hirudin using genetic engineering, which has significantly improved production efficiency and lowered costs, potentially expanding the use of hirudin in the future.
