SummaryHalofenate free acid (HFA), the major metabolite of the hypolipemic agent halofenate, blocked the secondary phase of human platelet aggregation induced by ADP, epinephrine, or thrombin; higher concentrations of clohbrate free acid (CFA) were required to produce similar inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation. HFA and CFA inhibited collagen-induced aggregation of human, rat, or guinea pig platelets. Halofenate orally administered to rats caused inhibition of collagen-induced aggregation when plasma levels of HFA exceeded 300 μg/ml, a clinically achievable human plasma concentration. The platelet inhibitory effects of clofibrate administration were less than those observed with halofenate administration.

SummaryHot water extracts of Mo-er (1 gm by 15 ml of water), an oriental food (Auricularia auricula), inhibit strongly both human and rat platelet ADP-induced aggregation. HPLC analysis of two varieties of Mo-er, A.auricula and A.polytricha (a black tree fungus), shows that they contain adenosine (Ado), 133 and 154 micrograms per gram of dry fungus, respectively. The inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by Mo-er extracts and by Ado was compared. Mo-er extracts caused a more rapid onset and a longer duration of inhibition than produced by equivalent amounts of Ado. Furthermore, Mo-er extract treated with adenosine deaminase to degrade the Ado retained the capacity to inhibit platelet aggregation. The inhibitory effects of Mo-er extracts on ADP-induced human platelet aggregation are greatly potentiated by the inhibitors of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase such as oxagrelate (phthalazinol) and papaverine. The inhibition of platelet aggregation is only partially blocked by 2’,5’-dideoxy-adenosine (DDA), an inhibitor of platelet adenylate cyclase and 5’-deoxy, 5’-methylthioadenosine (MTA), an antagonist of Ado receptors. ADP-induced rat platelet aggregation is strongly inhibited by Mo-er extracts, but not by Ado. This inhibition is not reversed by either DDA or MTA. These findings indicate that Mo-er extracts contain an agent (or agents) in addition to Ado, that blocks platelet aggregation by a mechanism that does not involve the platelet cyclic AMP system.

Studies of the aggregation of human platelets indicate that compounds GP 44296 and GP 45840 inhibit the secondary phase of ADP-induced aggregation and collagen-induced aggregation; GP 44296 also inhibits the primary phase of ADP-induced aggregation. Our results suggest that these compounds are more active on platelet behavior in vitro than phenylbutazone, oxyphenbutazone, and sulfinpyrazone.

Inhibition Of Thrombin

The effect of guanosine 5′-[beta−thio]diphosphate (GDP[beta S]), reported to be an antagonist of GTP at the G-protein-binding site, on human platelet activation was examined. GDP[beta S] (0.3-3 mM) had significant inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) secretion induced by thrombin, collagen, the thromboxane mimetic U46619 and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) in intact platelets, as well as in saponin-permeabilized platelets. Similar inhibitory effects in intact platelets were also observed with ATP (over similar concentration ranges) and GDP and GTP (at 2- and 10-fold higher concentrations respectively). All four nucleotides also inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation in indomethacin-treated platelets under conditions where no 5HT secretion occurred. Inhibition of thrombin-induced aggregation and secretion by GDP[beta S] and ATP in intact platelets was accompanied by a reduction in the thrombin-induced rise in intracellular Ca2+ levels and 45 kDa-protein phosphorylation. The results suggest that at least some of the effects of GDP[beta S] may be unrelated to inhibition of G-protein-GTP interaction, but, instead, may be mediated via an extracellular site, common to all the nucleotides tested and perhaps via inhibition of the effects of endogenous/released ADP. The usefulness of GDP[beta S] as a tool in studying G-protein-GTP interactions in platelets is thus questionable.

Induced Aggregation

Epinephrine (E) potentiates arachidonate (A)-induced aggregation of human platelets. A-insensitive dog platelets (AIP), that form thromboxane A2 (T) but do not aggregate when stirred with A alone, aggregate when exposed to E + A. Therefore, we studied the effect of E on T-stimu- lated human platelet aggregation. AIP stirred with A formed T which was confirmed by TLC. 1/100 to 1/200 volume of AIP was removed 30 sec. after A, and transferred to gel- filtered, aspirin-incubated human platelets. Recipient platelet aggregation was proportional to the volume of AIP transferred. The addition of the thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, Azo Analog I, abolished the aggregating activity of AIP. Transfer of an aliquot of AIP that was inadequate to aggregate human gel-filtered, aspirin-incubated platelets resulted in irreversible aggregation in the presence of ≥0.5nM E. E potentiated aggregation when added 3 min. before but not 3 min. after aliquot transfer. T-stimulated aggregation was abolished by the T-antagonist, 13 azapro- stenoic acid (APA), but E added after APA and before T restored aggregation. E potentiation of T-stimulated aggregation was abolished by prior exposure to equimolar yohimbine, dihydroergocryptine and phentolamine, agents that bind to alpha2 adrenergic receptors, but not by prazosin an alpha1 antagonist. Higher concentrations of E reversed the inhibitory effects of the alpha2 adrenergic agents. All of these agents in higher concentrations (1-100μM) also blocked aggregation induced by T alone. Therefore T-induced platelet aggregation is potentiated by E, in concentrations attained in vivo, by a mechanism linked to platelet alpha adrenergic receptors. Platelet alpha2 receptors have a close functional relationship to the postulated T receptor. E may initiate platelet aggregation in vivo when T is formed in quantities inadequate to alone induce aggregation.

A hydroperoxide compound structurally related to acetylsalicylic acid, 3-hydroperoxy-3-methylphthalide, inhibits both the first and second phases of adenosine diphosphate induced, biphasic, human platelet aggregation. This occurs over the same concentration range (0.05–0.5 mM) that acetylsalicylic acid inhibits second phase aggregation and the release reaction only. The complete inhibition of adenosine diphosphate induced aggregation is a unique pharmacological property for an acetylsalicylic-acid-like compound.

Inhibitory Activities

Introduction: Gnetum macrostachyum is a known Thai medicinal plant as a source of bioactive oligostilbenes, which possess platelet inhibitory activities. The study aimed to evaluate the in vitro human platelet aggregation inhibitory activities of macrostachyols A-D (compounds 1-4) isolated from the roots of G. macrostachyum. Methods: The in vitro human platelet aggregation assay was assayed with a 96-well microtiter plate format. The well-known aggregating agents were used to investigate the possible mechanism of inhibition, including adenosine diphosphate (ADP), arachidonic acid (AA), thromboxane A2 analog (U-46619), collagen, thrombin, and thrombin receptor-activating peptide-6 (TRAP-6). Results: Compound 1 was more potent than ibuprofen (positive control) on the adenosine diphosphate- induced platelet aggregation assay (P < 0.05). Compound 3 was more potent than 1, 2, and 4 (P < 0.05), but all active oligostilbenes were less potent than the positive control (P < 0.05) on the arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation assay. The oligostilbenes 1, 2, 3, and 4 also displayed the inhibitory effects on the U-46619-induced platelet aggregation. The tetrameric stilbenes 1 was the only compound that exhibited inhibitory effects on thrombin-induced platelet aggregation without TRAP-6 mediated platelet aggregation. Conclusion: The findings revealed the inhibitory effects of oligostilbenes on human platelet aggregation through a target-specific experimental design. It suggests that oligostilbenes from this plant might be applied as antiplatelet aggregation agents in platelet hyperreactivity- related diseases.

Humans are exposed to numerous toxic compounds in foods. During the past decade, several carcinogenic heterocyclic amines have been reported to be present in the cooked foods. Recently, we reported that some of the carcinogenic heterocyclic amines isolated from foods were present in human plasma. In order to know the effects of the carcinogens isolated from foods on the cell function, we investigated the effects of the carcinogenic heterocyclic amines including Trp-P-1(3-amino-l,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido❘4,3-b❘indole) and Trp-P-2(3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido❘4,3-b❘indole) on human platelet aggregation and polymorphonuclear leukocyte aggregation. Only tryptophan pyrolysis products, Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, had potent inhibitory effects on human platelet aggregation when platelets were preincubated with the carcinogens for 15 min. Other carcinogenic heterocyclic amines such as glutamic acid pyrolysates (Glu-P-1 and Glu-P-2) and 3H-imidazo ❘4,5-f❘quinoline-2-amines(IQ and MelQ) did show no effect on platelet aggregation even at 100 μM.The autoradiogram demonstrated that Tryptophan pyrolysis products, Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, dose-dependently inhibited the formation of HHT,PGD2,PGE2 and TXB2 induced by sodium arachidonate in human platelets labeled with ❘ 14c❘ arachidonic acid. Moreover, Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 did not show significant effects on leukocyte aggregation induced by sodium arachidonate (0.75mM) even at lOOnM. It is concluded that Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 isolated from cooked foodstuffs have potent inhibitory effects on the cyclo-oxygenase pathway of the platelet. Therefore, human platelet function might be affected with daily foods containing tryptophan pyrolysis products in vivo.
