Platelet hyperactivity plays an important role in arterial thrombosis and atherosclerosis. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of different extracts of propolis and components of flavonoids on platelet aggregation. Platelet-rich plasma was prepared and incubated in vitro with different concentrations of the tested extracts and components of flavonoids. Platelets aggregation was induced by different agonists including adenosine diphosphate (ADP, 10 μM), thrombin receptor activator peptide (TRAP, 50 μM), and collagen (5 μg/mL). At 25 mg/L to 300 mg/mL, the water extract propolis (WEP) inhibited three agonists-induced platelet aggregations in a dose-dependent manner. The flavonoids isolated from the propolis also showed markedly inhibited platelet aggregation induced by collagen, ADP, and TRAP, respectively. The components including caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), galangin, apigenin, quercetin, kaempferol, ferulic acid, rutin, chrysin, pinostrobin, and pinocembrin and their abilities of inhibiting platelet aggregation were studied. It was concluded that propolis had an antiplatelet action in which flavonoids were mainly implicated.

SummaryPlatelet aggregation and thromboxane A2 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several forms of vascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a wide range of adrenoceptor antagonists on platelet aggregation, and thromboxane A2 production, from normal human platelet rich plasma in vitro. Labetalol, pindolol and propranolol inhibited platelet aggregation to collagen in a dose dependent manner. Increasing the concentration of collagen “shifted” the dose response curve to the right. These 3 drugs also significantly inhibited thromboxane A2 generation in response to collagen but not to arachidonic acid. This effect was independent of any inhibitory effect of these drugs on platelet aggregation, and occurred at a drug concentration close to that obtained in vivo. Atenolol, metoprolol, prazosin and timolol were similarly assessed but had no effect on either platelet aggregation or thromboxane A2 generation. This ability of labetalol, pindolol, and propranolol to inhibit platelet aggregation and thromboxane generation, may be of clinical benefit in view of the increasing evidence implicating thromboxane A2 in the pathogenesis of vascular disease.

SummaryThe interaction of the activated platelet integrin, glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) with fibrinogen and von-Wille-brand factor (vWF) is essential for platelet aggregation. The minimal structure required for this integrin’s binding to fibrinogen is the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence. Inasmuch as normal level of GPIIb-IIIa-RGD interactions are required for maintaining hemostasis, elevated platelet aggregation can cause adverse pathological effects. We have previously reported that nonpeptidic mimetics of RGD, consisting of carboxylate and guanidinium groups of Asp and Arg divided by a linear 11-atom spacer, acquired a significant affinity for the GPIIb-IIIa integrin and inhibited platelet aggregation. The structural requirements for the interactions of the RGD sequence with GPIIb-IIIa and the inhibitory potential of a newly designed series of mimetics on platelet aggregation and interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) were assayed herein. Adenosine-diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by various RGD mimetics, with a maximal inhibition of 80-100% with an IC50 of 3 μM for the most potent inhibitor, NS-11 which a six-membered ring was introduced into the spacer chain, which exceeded the IC50 attained with the original RGDS peptide. The inhibitory effect of the RGD mimetics was attributed to their specific interaction with the GPIIb-IIIa integrin, since these mimetics inhibited the binding of the PAC-1 mAb to GPIIb-IIIA. Furthermore, the binding of 125I-labeled fibrinogen to platelets was inhibited by the RGD surrogates in a dose-dependent and saturable manner. The RGD-mimetics also inhibited up to 70% the adhesion, aggregation, and deposition of platelets onto ECM. Thus, we suggest that the novel nonpeptidic mimetics of RGD described herein, which were shown to be resistant to proteolytic digestion, would be valuable in novel therapeutic approaches to treat in RGD-dependent pathological disorders involving platelet-ECM interactions.

The goal of the study is to evaluate the effect of Radachlorin (OOO “RADA-PHARMA”, Russia) (RC) on platelet aggregation in ex vivo and in vivo experiments. The experiments were conducted on male Wistar rats. Platelet aggregation activity was determined in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using a turbidimetric method and the aggregation inducer was ADP at a final concentration of 1.25 μM. PRP samples containing RC were irradiated with ALOD-Granat laser device (OOO “Alkom Medika”, Russia) at 662 nm wavelength with 0.05 W/cm2 power density. After a 5-minute incubation of PRP with RC in the dark, dose-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation was observed. Laser irradiation (12.5 J/cm2 and, especially, 25 J/cm2) increased the inhibitory effect of RC. 3 hours after intravenous administration of RC, the rate and intensity of platelets aggregation did not change, while disaggregation slowed down significantly. Irradiation at a dose of 5 J/cm2 did not affect the platelets aggregation kinetics, and disaggregation slowed down even more at 10 J/cm2, and at 20 J/cm2 the rate and intensity of platelets aggregation decreased, and no disaggregation occurred.In vitro, RC inhibited the ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats in a dose-dependent manner; after laser irradiation, this effect was enhanced significantly. The effect of RC on circulating platelets leads to a change in their functional state, which manifests in slowing down the disaggregation after exposure to ADP. After laser irradiation (10 J/cm2 and, especially, 20 J/cm2), the severity of the functional changes increases. The role of decreasing the disaggregation activity of platelets in the mechanism of vascular thrombosis in the affected area of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is discussed.

SummaryWe investigated the effect of the Chinese herb Injectio Salvia Miltiorrhizae (ISM) on human platelet function in vitro. ISM inhibited platelet aggregation and serotonin release induced by either ADP or epinephrine in a dose dependent manner. This effect of ISM was observed with both gel-filtered platelets (ID50 = 8–30 μg ISM/ml gel-filtered platelets) and platelets in plasma (ID50 = 400–900 μg ISM/ml of platelet-rich plasma). The active molecule(s) in ISM was heat stable, resistant to acid, base and proteolysis and fractionated on Sephadex 6-25 at MW ~ 280. ISM did not interact with the platelet α-adrenergic receptor, but increased cAMP in intact platelets. The results are consistent with the concept that ISM inhibition of platelet aggregation and release is mediated by an increase in platelet cAMP. The exact mechanism whereby ISM increases platelet cAMP appears to be that of inhibition of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. The effect of ISM on platelet function is one mechanism which might explain the therapeutic effect of ISM in experimental and clinical coronary artery disease.

SummaryThe in vitro effect of magnesium (Mg) on platelet aggregation and platelet release function was evaluated in healthy volunteers. Platelet aggregation was induced with collagen, ADP, or thrombin after incubation of the sample with saline or increasing concentrations of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) (0.5-8.0 mM). Mg showed a dose-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation in whole blood, platelet rich plasma and washed platelets. An antiaggregatory effect was also present with low Mg concentrations. Statistically significant inhibition of the mean aggregation response was obtained in 83% of the different media and agonists tested following the addition of 1.0 mM Mg. The remaining 17% were significantly inhibited with the addition of 2.0 mM Mg. The platelet synthesis of thromboxane A2 and release of beta-thrombo-globulin were also inhibited by Mg, in a dose-dependent manner. In order to evaluate if any of these effects were modified by conventional antithrombotic treatment with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), volunteers were asked to meet on two consecutive days. On day 2 the participants were given 300 mg ASA orally, one hour prior to blood sampling. The Mg mediated effects were present independent of this pretreatment with ASA. Following stimulation with collagen a synergistic effect of Mg and ASA was demonstrated on platelet aggregation. The platelet inhibiting effect demonstrated in this study may in part explain the beneficial effect of Mg infusion in some patients with acute myocardial infarction. The effect of Mg infusion, given alone or administered simultaneously with ASA, should also be evaluated in other arterial thrombotic disease states.

SummaryThe in vitro effect of nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker of the dihydropyridine (DHP) type, on platelet aggregation was reinvestigated considering especially the capability of platelets to form endogenous nitric oxide (NO). We studied the dose-dependent antiaggregatory property of nifedipine in porcine platelet rich plasma. Aggregation was stimulated by collagen (7.5 ¼g/ml). Nifedipine inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 380 nmol/1. The antiaggregatory effect of nifedipine could be significantly diminished by N-nitro-L-arginine (NNA) in a concentration dependent manner, whereas oxy haemoglobin (4 ¼M), a NO scavenger, totally abolished the effect of nifedipine. L-Arginine, the precursor of NO, dose-dependently inhibited the collagen-induced platelet aggregation but did not potentiate the effects of nifedipine. Therefore, we propose that in platelet rich plasma the nifedipine induced inhibition of platelet aggregation is mediated by NO, a potent endogenous inhibitor of aggregation. We could confirm this hypothesis by measuring NO directly with a specific electrode.

In this paper, we describe the purification/characterization of BmooAi, a new toxin fromBothrops moojenithat inhibits platelet aggregation. The purification of BmooAi was carried out through three chromatographic steps (ion-exchange on a DEAE-Sephacel column, molecular exclusion on a Sephadex G-75 column, and reverse-phase HPLC chromatography on a C2/C18 column). BmooAi was homogeneous by SDS-PAGE and shown to be a single-chain protein of 15,000 Da. BmooAi was analysed by MALDI-TOF Spectrometry and revealed two major components with molecular masses 7824.4 and 7409.2 as well as a trace of protein with a molecular mass of 15,237.4 Da. Sequencing of BmooAi by Edman degradation showed two amino acid sequences: IRDFDPLTNAPENTA and ETEEGAEEGTQ, which revealed no homology to any known toxin from snake venom. BmooAi showed a rather specific inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by collagen, adenosine diphosphate, or epinephrine in human platelet-rich plasma in a dose-dependent manner, whereas it had little or no effect on platelet aggregation induced by ristocetin. The effect on platelet aggregation induced by BmooAi remained active even when heated to 100°C. BmooAi could be of medical interest as a new tool for the development of novel therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic disorders.

Barbituric Acid Derivatives

SummarySodium pentobarbital (SPB) and three other barbituric acid derivatives were found to inhibit platelet function in vitro. SPB had no effect on the primary response to ADP of platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or washed platelets but inhibited secondary aggregation induced by ADP in human PRP. The drug inhibited both phases of aggregation induced by epinephrine. SPB suppressed aggregation and the release reaction induced by collagen or low concentrations of thrombin, and platelet adherence to collagen-coated glass tubes. The inhibition by SPB of platelet aggregation was readily reversible and isotopically labeled SPB did not become firmly bound to platelets. No inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen, or thrombin could be detected in PRP obtained from rabbits after induction of SPB-anesthesia.

SummaryVarious cardiovascular drugs such as nitrates and propranolol, used in the treatment of coronary artery disease have been shown to have an antiplatelet effect. We have studied the in vitro effects of two antiarrhythmic drugs, verapamil and disopyramide, and have shown their inhibitory effect on platelet function. Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, inhibited the second phase of platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inhibited aggregation induced by collagen. Disopyramide similarly inhibited the second phase of platelet aggregation caused by ADP and aggregation induced by collagen. Either drug in synergism with propranolol inhibited ADP or collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Disopyramide at high concentrations inhibited arachidonic add whereas verapamil was without effect. Verapamil, but not disopyramide, inhibited aggregation induced by the ionophore A23187.

Abstract Background Cornin is a commonly used herb in cardiology for its cardioprotective effect. The effect of herbs on the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) can induce adverse drug-drug interaction even treatment failure. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of cornin on the activity of CYP450s, which can provide more guidance for the clinical application of cornin. Methods Cornin (100 μM) was incubated with eight isoforms of CYP450s, including CYP1A2, 2A6, 3A4, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 2E1, in pooled human liver microsomes. The inhibition model and corresponding parameters were also investigated. Results Cornin exerted significant inhibitory effect on the activity of CYP3A4, 2C9, and 2E1 in a dose-dependent manner with the IC50 values of 9.20, 22.91, and 14.28 μM, respectively (p < 0.05). Cornin inhibited the activity of CYP3A4 non-competitively with the Ki value of 4.69 μM, while the inhibition of CYP2C9 and 2E1 by cornin was competitive with the Ki value of 11.31 and 6.54 μM, respectively. Additionally, the inhibition of CYP3A4 by cornin was found to be time-dependent with the KI/Kinact value of 6.40/0.055 min− 1·μM− 1. Conclusions The inhibitory effect of cornin on the activity of CYP3A4, 2C9, and 2E1 indicated the potential drug-drug interaction between cornin and drugs metabolized by these CYP450s, which needs further investigation and validation.
