SummaryWe have evidence that ristocetin and botrocetin mediate binding of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) to platelet glycoprotein lb (GPIb) through two distinct domains on the vWF molecule. This was established by using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to vWF and synthetic peptides derived from the sequence of vWF. MAb 322 and MAb NMC/vW 4 both recognize native vWF as well as fragments containing the GPIb-binding domain of vWF, obtained with the following enzymes: trypsin (116 kDa), V-8 pro tease (Spill, 320 kDa) and V-8 protease plus subtilisin (33-28 kDa). Nevertheless, the lack of reciprocal displacement between the two MAbs in experiments of competitive inhibition for binding to vWF demonstrate that their respective epitopes are separate. Both MAbs inhibit 125I-vWF binding to platelet membrane GPIb and vWF-dependent platelet agglutination induced by ristocetin. However, only MAb NMC/vW4 inhibits these functions in the presence of botrocetin and when ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination is inhibited by MAb 322, botrocetin is still able to restore the agglutination. The involvement of two distinct domains of vWF for binding to GPIb in the presence of ristocetin or botrocetin was confirmed in experiments of binding of 125I-vWF to platelets using as competitor synthetic peptides corresponding to the GPIb binding domain of vWF (Cys 474 to Pro 488 and Ser 692 to Pro 708). At a final concentration of 2.5 mM both peptides inhibit more than 90% of the binding of vWF to ristocetin-treated platelets but are unable to modify this binding in the presence of botrocetin. In conclusion our data suggest that botrocetin and ristocetin involve distinct sites on vWF for binding to GPIb.

SummaryDipyrone and its metabolites 4-methylaminoantipyrine, 4-aminoantipyrine, 4-acetylaminoantipyrine and 4-formylaminoan- tipyrine inhibited the formation of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) during in vitro platelet aggregation induced by ADP, epinephrine, collagen, ionophore A23187 and arachidonic acid. Inhibition occurred after a short incubation (30–40 sec) and depended on the concentration of the drug or its metabolites and the aggregating agents. The minimal inhibitory concentration of dipyrone needed to completely block aggregation varied between individual donors, and related directly to the inherent capacity of their platelets to synthesize TXA2.Incubation of dipyrone with cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells resulted in a time and dose dependent inhibition of the release of prostacyclin (PGI2) into the culture medium. However, inhibition was abolished when the drug was removed from the culture, or when the cells were stimulated to produce PGI2 with either arachidonic acid or ionophore A23187.These results indicate that dipyrone exerts its inhibitory effect on prostaglandins synthesis by platelets or endothelial cells through a competitive inhibition of the cyclooxygenase system.

SummaryVarious investigators have separated the coagulation products formed when fibrinogen is clotted with thrombin and identified fibrinopeptides A and B. Two other peaks are observed in the chromatogram of the products of coagulation, but these have mostly been dismissed by other workers. They have been identified by us as amino acids, smaller peptides and amorphous material (37). We have re-chromatographed these peaks and identified several amino acids. In a closed system of fibrinogen and thrombin, the only reaction products should be fibrin and peptide A and peptide B. This reasoning has come about because thrombin has been reported to be specific for the glycyl-arginyl peptide bond. It is suggested that thrombin also breaks other peptide linkages and the Peptide A and Peptide B are attacked by thrombin to yield proteolytic products. Thrombin is therefore probably not specific for the glycyl-arginyl bond but will react on other linkages as well.If the aforementioned is correct then the fibrinopeptides A and B would cause an inhibition with the coagulation mechanism itself. We have shown that an inhibition does occur. We suggest that there is an autoinhibition to the clotting mechanism that might be a control mechanism in the human body.The experiment was designed for coagulation to occur under controlled conditions of temperature and time. Purified reactants were used. We assembled an apparatus to record visually the speed of the initial reaction, the rate of the reaction, and the density of the final clot formed after a specific time.The figures we derived made available to us data whereby we could calculate and plot the information to show the mechanism and suggest that such an inhibition does exist and also further suggest that it might be competitive.In order to prove true competitive inhibition it is necessary to fulfill the criteria of the Lineweaver-Burk plot. This has been done. We have also satisfied other criteria of Dixon (29) and Bergman (31) that suggest true competitive inhibition.
