Antithrombotic Effects

SummaryCyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) containing synthetic peptides such as L-cysteine, N-(mercaptoacetyl)-D-tyrosyl-L-arginylglycyl-L-a-aspartyl-cyclic (1→5)-sulfide, 5-oxide (G4120) and acetyl-L-cysteinyl-L-asparaginyl-L-prolyl-L-arginyl-glycyl-L-α-aspartyl-[0-methyltyrosyl]-L-arginyl-L-cysteinamide, cyclic 1→9-sulfide (TP9201) bind with high affinity to the platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor.The relationship between antithrombotic effect, ex vivo platelet aggregation and bleeding time prolongation with both agents was studied in hamsters with a standardized femoral vein endothelial cell injury predisposing to platelet-rich mural thrombosis, and in dogs with a carotid arterial eversion graft inserted in the femoral artery. Intravenous administration of G4120 in hamsters inhibited in vivo thrombus formation with a 50% inhibitory bolus dose (ID50) of approximately 20 μg/kg, ex vivo ADP-induccd platelet aggregation with ID50 of 10 μg/kg, and bolus injection of 1 mg/kg prolonged the bleeding time from 38 ± 9 to 1,100 ± 330 s. Administration of TP9201 in hamsters inhibited in vivo thrombus formation with ID50 of 30 μg/kg, ex vivo platelet aggregation with an ID50 of 50 μg/kg and bolus injection of 1 mg/kg did not prolong the template bleeding time. In the dog eversion graft model, infusion of 100 μg/kg of G4120 over 60 min did not fully inhibit platelet-mediated thrombotic occlusion but was associated with inhibition of ADP-induccd ex vivo platelet aggregation and with prolongation of the template bleeding time from 1.3 ± 0.4 to 12 ± 2 min. Infusion of 300 μg/kg of TP9201 over 60 min completely prevented thrombotic occlusion, inhibited ex vivo platelet aggregation, but was not associated with prolongation of the template bleeding time.TP9201, unlike G4120, inhibits in vivo platelet-mediated thrombus formation without associated prolongation of the template bleeding time.

Epimedium Koreanum Nakai

Background and Objective. Epimedium koreanum Nakai is a medicinal plant known for its health beneficial effects on impotence, arrhythmia, oxidation, aging, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases. However, there is no report available that shows its effects on platelet functions. Here, we elucidated antiplatelet and antithrombotic effects of ethyl acetate fraction of E. koreanum. Methodology. We analyzed the antiplatelet properties using standard in vitro and in vivo techniques, such as light transmission aggregometry, scanning electron microscopy, intracellular calcium mobilization measurement, dense granule secretion, and flow cytometry to assess integrin αIIbβ3 activation, clot retraction, and Western blot, on washed platelets. The antithrombotic effects of E. koreanum were assessed by arteriovenous- (AV-) shunt model in rats, and its effects on hemostasis were analyzed by tail bleeding assay in mice. Key Results. E. koreanum inhibited platelet aggregation in agonist-stimulated human and rat washed platelets, and it also reduced calcium mobilization, ATP secretion, and TXB2 formation. Fibrinogen binding, fibronectin adhesion, and clot retraction by attenuated integrin αIIbβ3-mediated inside-out and outside-in signaling were also decreased. Reduced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), Akt, PLCγ2, and Src was observed. Moreover, the fraction inhibited thrombosis. HPLC results revealed that the fraction predominantly contained icariin. Conclusion and Implications. E. koreanum inhibited platelet aggregation and thrombus formation by attenuating calcium mobilization, ATP secretion, TXB2 formation, and integrin αIIbβ3 activation. Therefore, it may be considered as a potential candidate to treat and prevent platelet-related cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract Introduction Aspirin and a potent platelet P2Y12 inhibitor, such as prasugrel or ticagrelor, are not always sufficient to prevent thrombus formation in patients with ST-elevation MI (STEMI), leading to “slow flow” or “no reflow” effects after stenting. GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors, such as eptifibatide, may help in this setting, but are not used routinely due to their bleeding risk. GPVI has critical roles in thrombosis and a minimal role in haemostasis. Here we tested whether depletion of GPVI has effects on thrombus formation after MI in an animal model and investigated the effects of a novel platelet GPVI inhibitor, glenzocimab (a Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody), on platelet activation and thrombus formation when combined with aspirin and ticagrelor. Methods We used intravital microscopy in a murine model of ST-elevation myocardial infarction and ischaemia-reperfusion injury to investigate microvascular thrombosis. We investigated the antithrombotic effects of adding glenzocimab (previously known as ACT017) to blood from healthy donors and 20 patients with ACS treated with aspirin and ticagrelor. We compared the effect of glenzocimab with the GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide ex-vivo. We stimulated platelets with collagen and atherosclerotic plaque material that was sourced from patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. We investigated effects on platelet aggregation, spreading, signalling, adhesion, thrombin generation, thrombus formation and clot stability ex vivo. Results Genetic depletion of GPVI in an animal model of myocardial infarction reduced microvascular thrombosis. Ex vivo, aspirin and ticagrelor partially inhibited atherosclerotic plaque-induced platelet aggregation (assessed by multiple electrode aggregometry) by 48% compared to control (34±3 vs. 65±4 U; P<0.001; Figure 1). Atherosclerotic plaque-induced platelet aggregation, adhesion, secretion and activation were critically dependent on platelet GPVI activation and were potently inhibited by glenzocimab. Glenzocimab alone reduced atherosclerotic plaque-induced platelet aggregation by 75% compared to control (16±4 vs. 65±4 U; P<0.001; Figure 1) and by over 95% when combined with aspirin and ticagrelor (3±1 vs 65±4 U; P<0.001; Figure 1). Furthermore, glenzocimab provided multiple synergistic antithrombotic effects when added to the blood of aspirin and ticagrelor-treated patients with ACS ex vivo. Glenzocimab and the GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor, eptifibatide, had many similar antithrombotic effects but glenzocimab had less effect on mechanisms of general haemostasis compared to eptifibatide, as assessed by ROTEM (Figure 2). Conclusions The addition of glenzocimab to aspirin and ticagrelor provides synergistic inhibition of multiple critical mechanisms of atherothrombosis. Glenzocimab and the GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor, eptifibatide, share many similar antithrombotic effects, although glenzocimab has less impact on mechanisms involved in haemostasis compared to eptifibatide.

SummaryTo assess the antithrombotic effectiveness of blocking the platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX receptor for von Willebrand factor (vWF), the antiaggregating and antithrombotic effects were studied in guinea pigs using a recombinant fragment of vWF, Leu 504-Lys 728 with a single intrachain disulfide bond linking residues Cys 509-Cys 695. The inhibitory effect of this peptide, named VCL, was tested in vitro on ristocetin- and botrocetin-induced platelet aggregation and compared to the ADP-induced platelet aggregation. In vivo, the antithrombotic effect of VCL was tested in a model of laser-injured mesentery small arteries and correlated to the ex vivo ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation. In this model of laser-induced thrombus formation, five mesenteric arteries were studied in each animal, and the number of recurrent thrombi during 15 min, the time to visualization and time to formation of first thrombus were recorded.In vitro, VCL totally abolished ristocetin- and botrocetin-induced platelet aggregation, but had no effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Ex vivo, VCL (0.5 to 2 mg/kg) administered as a bolus i. v. injection inhibits ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation with a duration of action exceeding 1 h. The maximum inhibition was observed 5 min after injection of VCL and was dose related. The same doses of VCL had no significant effect on platelet count and bleeding time. In vivo, VCL (0.5 to 2 mg/kg) had no effect on the appearance of the thrombi formed but produced dose-dependent inhibition of the mean number of recurrent thrombi (the maximal effect was obtained at 5 min following i. v. injection of the highest dose: 0.8 ± 0.2 thrombi versus 4 ± 0.4 thrombi in controls). The three doses of VCL increased the time in which the first thrombus in a concentration-dependent manner was formed. However, the time to visualize the first thrombus was only prolonged in the higher dose-treated group.These in-vivo studies confirm that VCL induces immediate, potent, and transient antithrombotic effects. Most importantly, this inhibition was achieved without inducing thrombocytopenia nor prolongation of the bleeding time.

Thrombus formation and thromboembolic events play important roles in various cardiovascular pathologies. The key receptor involved in platelet aggregation is the fibrinogen receptor glycoprotein IIb/IIIa. [18F]GP1, a derivative of the GPIIb/IIIa antagonist elarofiban, is a specific 18F-labeled small-molecule radiotracer that binds with high affinity to GPIIb/IIIa receptors of activated platelets. An improved, robust and fully automated radiosynthesis of [18F]GP1 has been developed. [18F]GP1 has been synthesized with decay corrected radiochemical yields of 38 ± 6%, with a radiochemical concentration up to 1900 MBq/mL, molar activities of 952–9428 GBq/µmol and a radio-chemical purity >98%. After determination of the optimal reaction conditions, in particular for HPLC separation, adaption of the reaction conditions to PET center requirements, validation of the manufacturing process and the quality control methods, the synthesis of [18F]GP1 was successfully implemented to GMP standards and was available for clinical application. We describe the GMP-compliant synthesis of the novel radiotracer [18F]GP1. Moreover, we provide some proof-of-concept examples for clinical application in the cardiovascular field. PET/CT with the novel small-molecular radiotracer [18F]GP1 may serve as a novel highly sensitive tool for visualizing active platelet aggregation at the molecular level.

Abstract The thienopyridine antiplatelet prodrug clopidogrel bisulfate (C) is widely used for atherothrombotic diseases. However, several reports have described a limitation of C, namely, poor platelet inhibition in many patients following oral dosing. Prasugrel (hydrochloride), currently under investigation in a Phase 3 trial in acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, is a novel thienopyridine antiplatelet prodrug. In recent clinical studies, prasugrel has shown more consistent platelet inhibition than C. To date, several preclinical studies have demonstrated that the prasugrel base formulation has more potent antiplatelet and antithrombotic effects than C. The effects of prasugrel hydrochloride (P), which has a higher solubility than the base formulation, have not been reported. The present studies examined the effects of P on platelet aggregation, arterial thrombosis, and bleeding time in rats. Single oral administration of P (0.3 to 3 mg/kg) resulted in inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA) induced by ADP in a dose- and time-related manner with an ED50 value of 1.1 mg/kg at 4 hr postdose. After dosing of 3 and 10 mg/kg P, statistically significant IPA was observed at 30 and 15 min, and the time required to achieve 50% IPA was approximately 50 and 23 min, respectively (Figure). These results indicate that P has potent antiplatelet effects with an extremely fast onset of action. Multiple P dosing also resulted in potent IPA, with an ED50 value of 0.45 mg/kg/day (p.o.) at 4 hr after the last dose. Our previous report indicated an ED50 value of C at 4 hr after single oral dosing of 16 mg/kg (Br. J. Pharmacol. 129, 1439, 2000), demonstrating about 10-times greater potency of P compared to C. Potent dose-related antithrombotic effects of P were further confirmed in an arterial thrombosis model in rats. P (0.1–1 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibited thrombus formation in the arterial thrombosis induced by extravascular application of FeCl3 solution. All these results taken together indicate that prasugrel hydrochloride is a novel, potent and fast acting thienopyridine prodrug, potentially providing superior efficacy in the treatment of atherothrombotic disorders.

SummaryThe antiplatelet and antithrombotic effects of the Fab fragment of the humanized antiplatelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa monoclonal antibody C4G1 (YM337) were investigated in monkeys. First, the relationship between the inhibition of platelet aggregation and the prolongation of bleeding time was studied in rhesus monkeys. YM337 dose-dependently inhibited ex vivo platelet aggregation, with complete inhibition at doses higher than 0.25 mg/kg intravenous injection or 1.5 μg/kg/min infusion. At 0.25 mg/kg bolus injection followed by 1.5 μg/kg/min infusion, YM337 immediately and continuously inhibited platelet aggregation during the 6-h infusion period with platelet aggregation rapidly returning to over 50% of baseline within 1 h after the cessation of infusion. Template-bleeding time was significantly prolonged during the period of complete inhibition of platelet aggregation.Second, the antithrombotic effects of YM337 were investigated in a photochemically-induced thrombosis model in squirrel monkeys. YM337 at a dose of 1 mg/kg intravenous injection followed by 6 μg/kg/min infusion for 60 min prevented occlusive thrombus formation in all 4 monkeys. In contrast, time to occlusive thrombus formation did not change on intravenous bolus injection of aspirin 17 mg/kg (11.3 ± 5.2 min) or sodium ozagrel (9.4 ± 3.0 min) compared with saline (13.3 ± 4.0 min). YM337 but not aspirin or sodium ozagrel significantly inhibited ex vivo ADP-induced platelet aggregation, while all drugs completely inhibited arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation. However, while aspirin and sodium ozagrel inhibited the thromboxane B2 generation accompanying arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation, YM337 had no effect on this variable. Platelet counts and bleeding time showed no significant change in any group in this squirrel monkey model.These results indicate that YM337, with a short half-life, may be a useful therapeutic agent in patients with thrombotic disorders.

Abstract The relative antithrombotic effectiveness of targeting glycoprotein (GP) Ib-dependent versus GPIIb-IIIa-dependent platelet interactions has been determined in baboons by measuring thrombus formation after infusing comparable antihemostatic doses of anti-von Willebrand factor (vWF) monoclonal antibody (MoAb) BB3-BD5, anti-GPIb MoAb AP1, and anti- GPIIb-IIIa MoAb LJ-CP8 under conditions of arterial and venous flow (shear rates of 750 to 1,000 seconds-1 and 100 seconds-1, respectively). Thrombus formation was quantified as 111In-platelet deposition and 125I-fibrin accumulation on segments of collagen-coated tubing interposed in chronic exteriorized arteriovenous (AV) shunts for 40 minutes. In vitro, anti-vWF MoAb BB3 BD5 (IgG) and anti-GPIb MoAb AP1 [IgG or F(ab)2 fragments] inhibited ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (IC50 50 nmol/L and 1 mumol/L, respectively), but neither of these MoAbs blocked platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (P > .5). Conversely, anti-GPIIb-IIIa MoAb LJ-CP8 inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP (IC50 1 mumol/L, but failed to block ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (P > .5). In vivo, the intravenous infusion of anti-vWF MoAb BB3 BD5 or anti-GPIIb- IIIa MoAb LJ-CP8 into baboons at doses that abolished corresponding agonist-induced aggregation ex vivo (bolus injections of 0.5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively) prolonged template bleeding times from baseline values of 4.0 +/- 0.3 minutes to > 27 +/- 4 minutes, and to > 26 +/- 4 minutes, respectively (P 3 .001 in both cases), without affecting the peripheral platelet count (P > .5). However, injection of anti-GPIb MoAb AP1 [10 mg/kg as IgG or 1 mg/kg as F(ab)2 fragments] produced immediate irreversible thrombocytopenia (< 40,000 platelets/microL). Anti-GPIIb-IIIa MoAb LJ-CP8 abolished platelet deposition and fibrin accumulation on collagen segments under both arterial and venous flow conditions (P < .01 in all cases), whereas MoAb BB3 BD5 produced minimal inhibition of platelet deposition and no decrease in fibrin accumulation at arterial shear rates and undetectable antithrombotic outcomes at low shear. Thus, inhibiting GPIIb-IIIa-dependent platelet recruitment abrogates both thrombus formation and platelet hemostatic function at both venous and arterial shear rates. By contrast, interfering with GPIb-vWF-dependent platelet interactions abolishes platelet hemostatic function without producing corresponding antithrombotic effects.
