Which is NOT a synthetic antifibrinolytic drug?

  1. Aminocaproic acid

  2. Tranexamic acid

  3. Urokinase

  4. Desmopressin

The correct answer is: Urokinase

Synthetic antifibrinolytic drugs are used to prevent the breakdown of blood clots. Aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid are both synthetic antifibrinolytic drugs and help to slow the breakdown of blood clots. Desmopressin, while not a synthetic antifibrinolytic drug, does play a role in blood clotting. Urokinase, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring enzyme and not a synthetic antifibrinolytic drug. Therefore, it is not a correct answer to the question asked.
