2,5-Bis-[8-(4,8-dimethyl-nona-3,7-dienyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-3-keto-1,2,7,8-teraahydro-6H-pyran[a]isoindol-2-yl]-pentanoic acid (FGFC1) is a marine pyran-isoindolone derivative isolated from a rare marine microorganism Stachybotrys longispora FG216, which showed moderate antithrombotic(fibrinolytic) activity. To further enhance its antithrombotic effect, a series of new FGFC1 derivatives (F1–F7) were synthesized via chemical modification at C-2 and C-2′ phenol groups moieties and C-1″ carboxyl group. Their fibrinolytic activities in vitro were evaluated. Among the derivatives, F1–F4 and F6 showed significant fibrinolytic activities with EC50 of 59.7, 87.1, 66.6, 82.8, and 42.3 μM, respectively, via enhancement of urokinase activity. Notably, derivative F6 presented the most remarkable fibrinolytic activity (2.72-fold than that of FGFC1). Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of derivative F6 was tested as well as expression of Fas/Apo-1 and IL-1 on HeLa cells. The results showed that, compared to FGFC1, derivative F6 possessed moderate cytotoxicity and apoptotic effect on HeLa cells (statistical significance p > 0.1), making F6 a potential antithrombotic agent towards clinical application.

Recently, one member of a new series of compounds was reported as a potent, nontoxic and long lasting antithrombotic agent, based on in vitro and in vivo animal tests (Bristol Labs; Fleming et al (1975), J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 194, 435).We here report on the effects of this compound, 6-methyl-l,2,3,5-tetrahydroimidazo [2,1-b]quinazolin-2-one hydrochloride monohydrate (BL-3459), and its metabol ical ly more stable 6,7-dichloro analogue (BL-4162) , on rabbit and human platelet shape change and aggregation, and compare them with other agents known to affect platelet adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). In aggregometer studies with citrated (0.29%) platelet-rich plasma (PRP), both BL-compounds were found to inhibit platelet shape change and aggregation induced by ADP, thrombin, serotonin and adrenaline-serotonin. Typically for human PRP, aggregation induced by 10 μM ADP was inhibited by 90% with 10 μM BL-4162 or 0.1 μM prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), and by 60% with 10 μM BL-3459. In corresponding rabbit PRP tests, 60% inhibition was caused equally by 1 μM BL-3459 or BL-4162, and by 0.05 μM PGE1,Both BL-compounds, like methylxanthines, were found to potentiate the inhibitory effect of PGE1 on platelet aggregation but did not potentiate the action of methylxanthines. Moreover, they both slightly increased the basal level of rabbit cAMP and potentiated the elevation of cAMP by PGE1, These BL-compounds are potent inhibitors of human and rabbit shape change and aggregation and appear to act by a mechanism distinct from that of PGE1.

SummaryTissue plasminogen activator labeled with radioactive iodine (125I-tPA) was immobilized on vascular prostheses chemically modified with a thin coating of water-insoluble surfactant, tridodecylmethylammonium chloride (TDM AC). Surfactant- treated Dacron, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silastic, polyethylene and polyurethane bound appreciable amounts of 125I- tPA (5-30 μg 125I-tPA/cm2). Upon exposure to human plasma, the amount of 125I-tPA bound to the surface shows an initial drop during the first hour of incubation, followed by a slower, roughly exponential release with a t½ of appoximately 75 hours. Prostheses containing bound tPA show fibrinolytic activity as measured both by lysis of clots formed in vitro, and by hydrolysis of a synthetic polypeptide substrate. Prior to incubation in plasma, tPA bound to a polymer surface has an enzymic activity similar, if not identical to that of the native enzyme in buffered solution. However, exposure to plasma causes a decrease in the fibrinolytic activity of both bound tPA and enzyme released from the surface of the polymer. These data demonstrate that surfactant-treated prostheses can bind tPA, and that these chemically modified devices can act as a slow-release drug delivery system with the potential for reducing prosthesis-induced thromboembolism.

SummaryGastric juice from 15 normals, 20 patients with gastric ulcer and 4 patients with erosive haemorrhagic gastroduodenitis was investigated in respect of its activity on unheated and heated fibrin plates and its content of FDP and plasminogen or plasmin with immunochemical methods. Gastric juice from normals showed no activity on unheated and heated fibrin plates, and no FDP or plasminogen could be demonstrated. In the patients with gastric ulcer the gastric juice showed little or no fibrinolytic activity on fibrin plates except in 2, who had regurgitation of duodenal juice and neutral pH of the juice. These patients had equally high activity on heated as on unheated plates and no plasmin could be demonstrated. It was shown that this activity was not due to fibrinolysis, but to non-specific proteolytic activity (probably trypsin). The patients with erosive haemorrhagic gastroduodenitis exhibited quite a different picture. The gastric juice from these patients showed extremely high activity on fibrin plates, the activity was higher on unheated than on heated plates. The activity was inhibited in vitro by addition of EACA and in vivo after administration of AMCA. The occurrence of plasmin could be demonstrated directly immunologically in the gastric juice. By comparison of plasmin and trypsin in various assays it could further be proved that the gastric juice in these cases contained plasminogen activator and plasmin. The patients with erosive haemorrhagic gastroduodenitis showed no increase in fibrinolysis in the blood, but low values for plasminogen and α2M, and the serum contained FDP. These findings in the blood and gastric juice were interpreted as signs of local fibrinolysis in the stomach and duodenum. There is reason to assume that this gastric fibrinolysis contributes substantially to the bleeding tendency. The effect of administration of AMCA on fibrinolytic activity and the haemorrhage lends support to the assumption of such a mechanism.

SummaryUrokinase, streptokinase, Brinase, trypsin, and SN 687, a bacterial exoprotease, have been evaluated in an ex vivo assay system. These enzymes were injected into rabbits and the fibrinolytic activity as well as other coagulation parameters were measured by in vitro techniques. Dose-response correlations have been made using the euglobulin lysis time as a measure of fibrinolytic activity and the 50% effective dose has been determined for each enzyme. Loading doses, equal to four times the 50% effective dose, were administered to monitor potential toxicity revealing that Brinase, trypsin, and SN 687 were very toxic at this concentration.Having established the 50% effective dose for each enzyme, further testing was conducted where relevant fibrinolytic and coagulation parameters were measured for up to two days following a 50% effective dose bolus injection of each enzyme. Our results have demonstrated that urokinase and streptokinase are plasminogen activators specifically activating the rabbit fibrinolytic system while Brinase, trypsin and SN 687 increase the general proteolytic activity in vivo.The advantages of this ex vivo assay system for evaluating relative fibrinolytic potencies and side effects for plasminogen activators and fibrinolytic proteases have been discussed.

SummaryThe in vitro anticoagulant activities of recombinant desulphatohirudin (r-hirudin) were studied in the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and the thrombin generation test : systems. In the APTT at concentrations below 5 μg/ml, r-hirudin showed a dose-response curye. At concentrations above 5 μg/ml, the plasma became unclottable, but in the thrombin generation test , at least 10 μg/ml of r-hirudin was required for full inhibition of thrombin generation. The antithrombotic effect was assessed using a rabbit venous stasis model; 150 μg/ml r-hirudin completely prevented thrombus formation at 10 and 20 min stasis. At antithrombotic dose, the mean bleeding time ratio measured in a rabbit ear template model, was not prolonged over control values. At higher doses, the bleeding time ratios were higher than those observed for the same dosage of heparin. These data indicate that while r-hirudin is an effective antithrombotic agent, antithrombotic doses have to be carefully titrated to avoid excessive bleeding.

SummaryThe pharmacological effect of a new preparation of urokinase (Leo) has been studied, both in vitro and in six patients suffering from thrombo-embolic disorders. It was a non-toxic, effective fibrinolytic agent if given in sufficient dosage. A regimen consisting of an initial dose of 7,200 ploug units per kg body weight, followed by hourly maintenance therapy with 3,600 ploug units per kg intravenously, gave satisfactory evidence of whole body fibrinolytic activity. The preparation had minor but insignificant thromboplastic activity both when assayed in the laboratory and when given to patients.

SummaryThe activity of several synthetic compounds, rated from good to poor (or inactive) fibrinolytic activators, has been assessed by two different commonly-used in vitro methods. Compounds shown to be active over a narrow concentration range in the hanging clot test were shown to be inhibitors of plasmin and trypsin in the casein-olytic test. The inhibitory activity of these compounds was shown to increase with increasing substrate concentration and apparent activity in the hanging clot test. Possible explanations and relevance of these observations are discussed.

SummaryExplants from 5 adult human veins were cultured in a fibrinolytically inactive medium for 3 weeks and assayed for the presence of plasminogen activator by the fibrin slide technique. The explants from 3 veins showed fibrinolytic activity confined to their vasa vasorum for the whole duration of the culture; no decrease of activity was seen. The finding suggests that small blood vessels are able to synthesize plasminogen activator.

SummaryA thiazole derivative, 4,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-thiazole was found to be a potent inhibitor of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, in vitro, using platelets from at least six species, including man. It was active in human platelet-rich plasma at a concentration of 1 ng/ml. While its antiplatelet activity was greater than that of flurbiprofen, its cyclooxygenase activity was equivalent to that of flurbiprofen. Also, compared to flurbiprofen, the thiazole had less anti-inflammatory activity in the hind-paw edema test. The thiazole derivative inhibited platelet aggregation following oral administration in five laboratory species. In the guinea pig it was active at 0.5 mg/kg. The LD50 in mice was greater than 1000 mg/kg (i.p.). This compound, which was designed through a systematic drug development program, may have high potential as an antithrombotic agent.

SummaryThe neutralization of a low molecular weight heparin (LHN-1) and conventional heparin (CH) by protamine sulfate has been studied in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the APTT activity of CH was completely neutralized in parallel with the anti-Xa activity. The APTT activity of LHN-1 was almost completely neutralized in a way similar to the APTT activity of CH, whereas the anti-Xa activity of LHN-1 was only partially neutralized.In vivo, CH 3 mg/kg and LHN-1 7.2 mg/kg was given intravenously in rats. The APTT and anti-Xa activities, after neutralization by protamine sulfate in vivo, were similar to the results in vitro. In CH treated rats no haemorrhagic effect in the rat tail bleeding test and no antithrombotic effect in the rat stasis model was found at a protamine sulfate to heparin ratio of about 1, which neutralized APTT and anti-Xa activities. In LHN-1 treated rats the haemorrhagic effect was neutralized when APTT was close to normal whereas higher doses of protamine sulfate were required for neutralization of the antithrombotic effect. This probably reflects the fact that in most experimental models higher doses of heparin are needed to induce bleeding than to prevent thrombus formation. Our results demonstrate that even if complete neutralization of APTT and anti-Xa activities were not seen in LHN-1 treated rats, the in vivo effects of LHN-1 could be neutralized as efficiently as those of conventional heparin. The large fall in blood pressure caused by high doses of protamine sulfate alone was prevented by the prior injection of LHN-1.
