A patient had hemorrhagic stroke. Blood examination revealed strengthened kinin concentration. The patient was prescribed contrical. It was administered in order to inhibit the following proteinase:
- A. Chymotrypsin
- B. Pepsin
- C. Trypsin
- D. Kallikrein
- E. Collagenase
Hint
Kinins are liberated from their plasma precursors by one particular serine proteinase; the drug is meant to switch off that enzyme and so reduce kinin formation.
