Abstract
Tranexamic acid is the trans-isomer of 4-aminomethylcyclohexane carboxylic acid. The initial investigations were made using a preparation containing a mixture of isomers, but it was subsequently found (Melander et al. 1964; Okamoto et al., 1964) that only the trans-isomer is antifibrinolytically active.
