6-Aminocaproic acid (EACA) is a monoamino carboxylic acid that acts as a potent and orally active inhibitor of plasmin and plasminogen. It functions as an antifibrinolytic agent by competitively binding to lysine residues on plasminogen, thereby inhibiting plasmin formation and reducing fibrinolysis. This compound is used in research for bleeding disorders.
