Streptokinase is a thrombolytic agent that works by activating plasminogen, converting it into plasmin. Plasmin then breaks down fibrin, the main component of blood clots, leading to the dissolution of the clot. This mechanism helps restore blood flow in conditions such as myocardial infarction or pulmonary embolism. Streptokinase is derived from streptococci bacteria and is most effective when administered soon after clot formation.
