[{"from": "human", "value": "Provide a brief overview of this molecule. [C][C][C][Branch1][Branch2][C][C][C][Ring1][=Branch1][C][N][C][=Branch1][C][=O][O]"}, {"from": "gpt", "value": "The molecule is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine with antifibrinolytic activity. With strong affinity for the five lysine-binding sites of plasminogen, tranexamic acid competitively inhibits the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, resulting in inhibition of fibrinolysis; at higher concentrations, this agent noncompetitively inhibits plasmin. This agent has a longer half-life, is approximately ten times more potent, and is less toxic than aminocaproic acid, which possesses similar mechanisms of action."}]
