Hirudin variants are the most powerful thrombin inhibitors discovered to date, with a lower risk of bleeding than heparin. For anticoagulation, the C‐termini of hirudin variants bind to the exocite I of thrombin. Anticoagulant effects of gene‐recombinant hirudin are weaker than natural hirudin for the reason of lacking tyrosine O‐sulfation at C‐terminus.
