L-670,596 ((−)6,8-difluoro-9-p-methylsulfonyl benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazol-1-yl-acetic acid) has been shown to be a potent receptor antagonist as evidenced by the inhibition of the binding of 125I-labeled PTA-OH to human platelets (IC50, 5.5 × 10−9 M), inhibition of U-44069 induced aggregation of human platelet rich plasma (IC50, 1.1 × 10−7 M), and competitive inhibition of contractions of the guinea pig tracheal chain induced by U-44069 (pA2,9.0). The compound was also active in vivo as shown by inhibition of arachidonic acid and U-44069 induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig (ED50 values, 0.04 and 0.03 mg/kg i.v., respectively), U-44069 induced renal vasoconstriction in the pig (ED50, 0.02 mg/kg i.v.), and inhibition of ex vivo aggregation of rhesus monkey platelets to U-44069 (active 1–5 mg/kg p.o.). The selectivity of the compound was indicated by the failure to inhibit, first, ADP-induced human or primate platelet aggregation and, second, bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig in vivo and contraction of the guinea pig tracheal chain in vitro to a variety of agonists. It is concluded that L-670,596 is a potent, selective, orally active thromboxane A2/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor antagonist.Key words: thromboxane A2, thromboxane antagonist, prostaglandin endoperoxides, platelet aggregation.

6- [p-(2-(Chiorpropionylamino)phenyl] -4.5-dihydro-5-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone, LU 23051, is primarily characterized by its strong inhibition of platelet aggregation under in vitro and in vivo conditions. In vitro there is a concentration-dependent inhibition of ADP and collagen induced aggregation in platelet rich plasma of man, rat and dog. The inhibitory concentration EC 33 % is 0.0010-0.030 mg/1 (man: ADP-0.030, col 1.-0.013 mg/l) depending on species and type of aggregation. When administered orally in ex vivo experiments on rats and dogs the substance is found to have a dose-dependent antiaggregatory effect in the range from 0.1-3.16 mg/kg. The ED 33 % is 0.27-0.63 mg/kg.-In addition after oral administration the substance has a good inhibitory effect in models being based on intravascular platelet aggregation. Thus, a dose of 1 mg/kg inhibits laser-induced aggregation in mesenteric venules of rats. Mortality after i.v. injection of collagen in mice is reduced by 50 % after a dose of 0.02 mg/kg. A dose of 0.039 mg/kg prolongs the bleeding time of rats by 50 %. The aggregation-inhibiting action is of long duration (0.1 mg/kg p.o.∼24 h). The substance does not interfere with clotting.Besides its effect on platelet aggregation LU 23051 acts as vasodilatator as well. Dilatation of coronary vessels by 100 % is seen in isolated guinea-pig hearts at a concentration of 0.1 mg/l. In spontaneously hypertensive rats the substance has an anti hypertensive effect. The ED 20 % is 0.36 mg/kg p.o.The combination of antiaggregatory and vasodilatatory effects opens up interesting aspects with respect to the pharmacotherapeutic use of the new substance

SummaryDipyridamole possesses antithrombotic properties in the animal and in man but it does not inhibit platelet aggregation in plasma. We evaluated the effect of dipyridamole ex vivo and in vitro on platelet aggregation induced by collagen and adenosine- 5’-diphosphate (ADP) in human whole blood with an impedance aggregometer. Two hundred mg dipyridamole induced a significant inhibition of both ADP- and collagen-induced aggregation in human blood samples taken 2 hr after oral drug intake. Administration of the drug for four days, 400 mg/day, further increased the antiplatelet effect. A significant negative correlation was found between collagen-induced platelet aggregation in whole blood and dipyridamole levels in plasma (p <0.001). A statistically significant inhibition of both collagen (p <0.0025) and ADP-induced (p <0.005) platelet aggregation was also obtained by incubating whole blood in vitro for 2 min at 37° C with dipyridamole (3.9 μM). No such effects were seen in platelet-rich plasma, even after enrichment with leukocytes. Low-dose adenosine enhanced in vitro inhibition in whole blood.Our results demonstrate that dipyridamole impedes platelet aggregation in whole blood by an interaction with red blood cells, probably involving adenosine.

Induced Aggregation

Defective ADP-induced platelet aggregation has been observed in patients treated with streptokinase. This same effect appears “in vitro” when adding SK to platelet rich plasma (PRP). Classic hemophilia and normal platelet poor plasmas (PPP) treated with SK inhibit the aggregation of washed platelets; plasmin-treated normal human serum also shows an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. However, von Willebrand SK-treated plasmas do not inhibit the aggregation of washed platelets. The same results appear when plasmas are previously treated with a rabbit antibody to human factor VIII.This confirms that the antiaggregating effect is mainly linked to the digested factor VIII related antigen.The inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation has been proved in gel filtration-isolated and washed platelets from SK-treated PRP.Defective ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation has also been observed- This action does not appear in washed platelets from SK-treated PRP in presence of normal PPP, but it does in presence of SK-treated PPP, which suggests that the inhibition of the ristocetin-induced aggregation is due to the lack of factor VIII and not to the factor VIII-related products.Heparin, either “in vivo” or “in vitro”, has corrected the antiaggregating effect of SK.

Background: Platelet reactivity is required to maintain hemostasis, however high platelet reactivity leads to thrombus formation, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Platelet 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) has been demonstrated by our lab and others to regulate agonist-mediated platelet reactivity suggesting a role for 12-LOX in regulation of in vivo thrombosis. The ability to target 12-LOX in vivo has not been established to date. Therefore, we sought to determine if 12-LOX regulates platelet reactivity and thrombus formation in vivo using the selective 12-LOX inhibitor ML355 to determine whether platelet 12-LOX is an effective target for anti-platelet therapeutics. Methods: ML355 effects on human platelet function was assessed in vitro by platelet aggregometry, ex vivo by perfusion chamber, and in vivo by thrombus formation and vessel occlusion in small and large vessels in 12-LOX -/- , WT mice, and mice treated with ML355 via intravital microscopy using the FeCl 3 and laser injury models. Results: In in vitro platelet aggregation, ML355 dose-dependently inhibited agonist-induced aggregation. In ex vivo flow chamber assays, platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on collagen-coated surfaces at high shear was attenuated in both mouse and human whole blood after incubation with ML355. Further, platelet aggregation and thrombus growth in 12-LOX -/- mice were impaired in both laser and FeCl 3 -induced mesenteric, carotid artery and cremaster arteriole thrombosis models. Thrombi in 12-LOX -/- mice were unstable and frequently formed emboli, which resulted in impaired vessel occlusion or reopening. Additionally, thrombus formation and vessel occlusion was impaired in ML355 treated WT mice. Conclusions: The 12-LOX inhibitor ML355 inhibits platelet aggregation induced by a number of platelet agonists. Ex vivo high shear conditions in both mice and human was attenuated in the presence of ML355. Thrombus formation and vessel occlusion were impaired in mice deficient in 12-LOX. Finally, ML355 attenuates thrombus formation and prevents vessel occlusion in vivo . Our data strongly indicates 12-LOX is an important determinant of platelet reactivity and inhibition of platelet 12-LOX may represent a new target for anti-platelet therapeutics.

Guarana, a methylxanthine obtained from the seeds of Paullinia cupana has been largely used in the Amazon region by native indians during centuries as stimulant. We evaluated the effect of guarana on ex-vivo and in vitro platelet aggregation induced by adenosine-5-diphosphate (ADP) in human and rat whole blood with an impedance (Chrono-Log, model 500) and in their platelet rich plasma (PRP) with an optical aggregometer (Chrono-Log, model 440). Ex-vivo studies were carried out after single oral intake of guarana. Seven healthy volunteers (5 male and 2 female) aged 19-26 years who had taken no drugs for 10 days before, ingested 8gm of crude powder of guarana. Blood samples were drawn before and 1 hour after guarana intake. We observed a significative inhibition of platelet aggregation in whole blood meanwhile PRP was un changed as compared to basal values. In vitro studies were performed in whole blood and PRP from human volunteers and male Wis-tar rats. The combined effect of guarana and adenosine was also studied. A control aggregation was always run with saline. The results demonstrated an inhibition statistically significative (p < 0.001) of platelet aggregation in whole blood. Differently from whole blood the PRP with the same concentration of guarana did not result in inhibition of ADP induced aggregation when eva luated with the impedance method. The blood incubation with adenosine and guarana resulted in synergistic inhibitory effect that was much more strinking in whole blood than in PRP. Guarana fails to inhibit aggregation of rat platelets.Our results demonstrate that guarana prevents platelet aggregation in whole blood which depends on red blood cells, probably involving adenosine.

Abstract Introduction: Bleeding risk accompanied with anti-platelet drugs is an ultimate dilemma in the treatment of thrombosis patient. Under high shear condition of blood flow, vWF- and collagen-induced signaling pathways are likely to trigger the platelet adhesion to the injured endothelium, which leads to the activation of platelets and arterial thrombus formation. Thus, the recent studies suggest that the selective inhibitor of these pathways is a new target of anti-platelet drugs with lower bleeding risk. We report here a pharmacological profile of DZ-697b, which selectively inhibits platelet aggregation evoked by ristocetin and collagen in vitro and ex vivo. Materials and methods: Human volunteers blood was processed platelet rich plasma (PRP) or washed platelets. PRP aggregation was induced by ristocetin and collagen. To reveal the selectivity, effect of DZ-697b on U46619 (TXA2 analogue), ADP, thrombin and TRAP induced aggregation in the washed platelets were examined. In guinea pigs and cynomolgus monkeys, effects of DZ-697b given orally were also examined on ex vivo PRP aggregation induced by collagen. To investigate the underlying mechanisms of DZ-697b, changes in phosphorylation of FcR γ chain, a common signaling pathway of both vWF- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation, were studied. Results: DZ-697b potently inhibited both ristocetin- and collagen-induced human PRP aggregation, the IC50 being 0.74 μM and 0.55 μM, respectively. In contrast, DZ-697b even at 50 μM did not show any influences on U46619, ADP, thrombin and TRAP induced platelet aggregation. DZ-697b did not affect ovine COX-1 and COX-2 activities at up to 300 μM. The bioavailability of this compound was more than 80% in monkeys. Oral administration of DZ-697b at 1–3 mg/kg significantly and persistently inhibited collagen induced PRP aggregation in monkeys and guinea pigs. Application of ristocetin, vWF, and collagen significantly increased the intensity of phosphorylation of FcR γ chain in washed platelets, which were inhibited by DZ-697b. Conclusion: DZ-697b is an orally active compound which selectively inhibits ristocetin- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation and seems to be promising as novel anti-platelet drug.

Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a very potent excitatory agonist of blood platelets but the physiological importance of this mediator in platelet thrombus formation is not known. We investigated the effect of two chemically unrelated selective inhibitors of PAF-induced platelet aggregation on thrombogenesis induced by rabbit aorta subendothelium (SE) using an ex vivo perfusion system.Ro 19-3704 is a highly potent inhibitor structurally related to PAF. This compound inhibits PAF-induced aggregation of rabbit platelets in platelet rich plasma in vitro competitively. Against 4 nM PAF, a concentration resulting in submaximal platelet aggre-gregation velocity, the IC50 was 70 nM. Inhibition was highly selective for PAF-induced aggregation, since aggregation induced by collagen (HORM, 5 yg/ml), ADP (1 yM) or thrombin (0.4 U/ml) was not inhibited even at a concentration as high as 10 yM. Bro-tizolam, a triazolobenzodiazepine reported to be a selective inhibitor of PAF-induced platelet activation, had in our system an IC50 of 200 nM. The selective benzodiazepine antagonist Ro 151788 was without effect on inhibition of PAF-induced platelet activation by brotizolam.Ro 19-3704 was given intravenously to rabbits as a bolus of 0.2 mg/kg followed by constant infusion of 0.02 mg/kg/min. This dosage provoked ex vivo a constant right shift ratio of the dose response curve for PAF-induced aggregation (RSR[PAF]) by a factor of 25 to 35. Brotizolam was given orally at a dose of 100 mg/ kg together with 300 mg/kg of Ro 15-1788 (to antagonize the central effects) 90 minutes before starting the perfusion experiment, resulting in a RSR[PAF] of 35 to 135. ADP induced platelet aggregation was not impaired by either compound. SE was exposed to the non-anticoagulated blood withdrawn from the carotid artery for 3 min at 2600 s-1 and for 20 min at 200 s-1 shear rate. Quantitative morphometric evaluation showed that SE coverage by platelets and by fibrin, thrombus area and thrombus height were all unchanged by the PAF antagonists at low and at high shear rates despite a very substantial inhibition of PAF-induced platelet aggregation. Therefore a major role of PAF in SE-induced thrombogenesis seems unlikely.

Iloprost Infusion

To evaluate whether the activity of Iloprost, a chemically stable prostacyclin analog, on platelet aggregation could be potentiated by aspirin (ASA), in vitro and ex vivo studies in human volunteers were performed. In vitro studies were carried out in human platelet rich plasma (PRP) incubated with different concentrations of ASA (25-150 μM). For ex vivo studies Iloprost (0.5 ng.Kg−1.min−1 for 30 min) was given intravenously to healthy volunteers. After 20 hour wash out a single 50 mg ASA dose was given to the same subjects. Two hours after ASA intake, a second infusion of Iloprost was carried out. Blood was collected at appropriate time intervals thereafter. Platelet aggregation and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) formation were determined in collagen stimulated PRP. ASA, in vitro , dose dependently reduced the concentrations oF Iloprost required to achieve 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation (IC50) in PRP stimulated by 1 g/ml collagen. Also, the IC50S for Iloprost were significantly reduced (p<0.01) in PRP of subjects who ingested ASA two hours before blood collection. Iloprost infusion (0.5 ng.Kg−1.min−1 for 30 min) only minimally affected the concentrations of collagen eliciting 50% aggregation (AC50) and was ineffective on TXB2 synthesis. ASA, administered after a 20 hour wash out period did not significantly affect the AC s for collagen, whereas it inhibited TXB2 synthesis by more than 50%. The mean AC50 for collagen, evaluated at the end of Iloprost infusion in PRP of subjects who previously ingested ASA, was signicantly greater than that evaluated after the two single treatments. No significant changes in hemodynamic and ECG parameters were detected during the study. These findings, indicating an in vivo potentiating effect of ASA on the antiaggregatory activity of Iloprost, observed at doses of Iloprost with no effect on hemodynamic parameters, may be of relevance for the design of treatment schedules aimed to the selective inhibition of platelet aggregation.

We identified a patient who exhibited paradoxical propagation of thrombus coincident with the administration of intracoronary streptokinase (SK) that was mediated by anti-SK antibodies. The patient had not been treated with SK in the past and had a plasma SK-neutralizing capacity of 160 U/ml. Using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained from the patient, we found that SK initiated spontaneous platelet aggregation and secretion in vitro. Aggregation was specific for SK and not induced by urokinase or tissue plasminogen activator. In 14 of 15 controls, no platelet aggregation was observed in PRP with addition of SK. The addition of plasma or purified IgG from our index case to the PRP of all 14 controls supported SK-induced aggregation. This aggre-gatory response was not inhibited by aprotinin. Using purified proteins in a washed platelet system, we found that platelet aggregation was dependent on the presence of SK, specific anti-SK IgG, plasminogen, and platelets. These data demonstrate that anti-SK antibodies can promote platelet aggregation, presumably by binding to platelet-bound plasminogen-SK complexes. These data also imply that some individuals may possess anti-SK antibodies that are capable of inducing platelet aggregation in vivo and, thereby, promoting clot propagation or thromboembolic complications. In the absence of adequate, specific screening, this observation argues for the use of nonimmunogenic thrombolytic agents in the emergent setting.

1. We studied the effects of the non-selective, non-peptide, orally active endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist bosentan (Ro 47–0203) on rat hepatic and mesenteric vascular membrane 125I-ET-1 binding characteristics in vitro and ex vivo (after bosentan by gavage in vivo). 2. Bosentan caused a concentration-dependent competitive inhibition of 125I-ET-1 binding to female rat mesenteric vascular (predominantly ETA receptors) and hepatic (predominantly ETB receptors) membranes in vitro and ex viva 3. The time course of the inhibition of binding ex vivo after administration of bosentan in vivo was 1–4 h for mesenteric vascular (predominantly ETA receptors) binding and 1–16 h for hepatic (predominantly ETB receptors) binding. 4. The time course of displacement of 125I-ET-1 binding from mesenteric vascular and hepatic membranes by bosentan in vitro was similar. 5. Since bosentan is significantly excreted by the liver, the prolonged hepatic 125I-ET-1 binding by bosentan presumably represents hepatic accumulation of bosentan, which may have implications for bosentan antagonizing the actions of ET in the liver.
