Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a cardioprotective phytochemical occurring in many plant products. In this study, a new series of imine congeners of resveratrol has been synthesized in which the imine moiety replaced the double bond in the structure of resveratrol. In addition, the in vitro antiplatelet activity of these resveratrol derivatives has been evaluated against adenosine diphosphate (ADP), arachidonic acid (AA), and collagen as platelet aggregation inducers. In general, the synthesized compounds were active as antiplatelet agents, and, therefore, the imine functional group may be considered as an effective replacement for a double bond in resveratrol for developing new and promising antiplatelet drugs.

There have been reports of a 24–48-hr delay in the recovery of platelet cyclooxygenase activity and platelet function after the ingestion of aspirin. However, these studies employed a single aggregating agent to stimulate enzymatic or functional activity. We investigated the effects of some pairs of aggregating agents on 14 platelet-rich plasmas (PRP) from normal subjects 2 and 4 hr after ingestion of 650 mg aspirin and daily up to 72 hr. We studied platelet aggregation and secretion with a lumiaggregometer and thromboxane-B2 formation by radioimmunoassay. Aggregation and secretion occurred as early as 4 hr after aspirin ingestion in response to combinations of arachidonic acid with epinephrine, collagen, or adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Thromboxane formation was detected as early as 4 hr after ingestion of aspirin in response to 1 mM arachidonic acid in combination with 1 microgram/ml collagen. Up to 72 hr, there was a linear return of thromboxane formation stimulated by this combination, reflecting the entry of new platelets into the circulation. In vitro experiments with mixtures of aspirin-free and aspirin-treated platelets showed that the combination of collagen and arachidonic acid (AA) could produce full aggregation and secretion when only 2.5% of aspirin-free platelets were present. Use of the combination of collagen plus AA demonstrates the early entry into the circulation of platelets originating from megakaryocytes whose cyclooxygenase has not been completely acetylated.

Platelets are essential elements of human blood. In addition to their normal role, platelets are involved in causing myocardial infarction, stroke and other thrombotic disorders. Platelet activation in vivo, probably involves a combination of agonists. Garlic has beneficial effects due to its ability to inhibit platelet aggregation and thromboxane formation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of garlic extracts to inhibit platelet aggregation induced by different agonists and their mixtures in different donors. Significant differences were found in platelet aggregation in response to each agonist (P ≤ 0.05). The highest antiaggregatory effect was observed with arachidonic acid and the lowest effect with collagen-arachidonic acid mixture. Interaction effects between donor and agonist (or mixtures) were detected. The study showed the potential of aqueous garlic extracts to prevent platelet aggregation induced by different agonist. Highlights Platelets play a central role in the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Blood from nine non-smoker healthy donors was used for in vitro platelet aggregation study. Significant differences were found in platelet aggregation in response to each agonist. Aqueous garlic extracts could prevent platelet aggregation induced by different agonist.

p-Coumaric acid (3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid; 4CA), is a ubiquitous plant metabolite with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The antiplatelet activity of this compound was analysed both ex vivo and in vitro. 4-CA, administered to rabbits for 2 weeks at the dose of 5 mg/kg, mixed with food, inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation without affecting blood coagulation. This effect was associated with a marked increase in plasma antioxidant activity, measured as ferric reducing ability of plasma, and with the reduction of thromboxane B2 production. The antiplatelet effect was confirmed by in vitro experiments on human blood: 4CA (500 μm and 1 mm) reduced ADP-induced platelet aggregation (55·2 (se 4·01) % and 35·6 (se 2·35) % relative to basal level, respectively). 4CA was able to modify platelet function, measured with PFA-100™, a shear-inducing device that simulates primary haemostasis. 4CA interfered also with arachidonic acid cascade, reducing thromboxane B2 production and lipopolysaccharide-induced prostaglandin E2 generation (ic50 371 and 126 μm, respectively). The data show that 4CA is an antioxidant compound with good antiplatelet activity at doses that can be obtained with dietary intervention, suggesting possible applications for primary prevention of vascular disease.

1 To evaluate in vitro inhibitory effects of four types of histamine H2-receptor antagonist (H2-receptor antagonists), famotidine, roxatidine, cimetidine and ranitidine, on platelet function, we examined aggregating potency and P-selectin levels with agonist-induced aggregation. Ranitidine and cimetidine inhibited, in concentration of 0.35 mM, the secondary aggregation induced by 5 pM adenosine diphosphate (ADP), the aggregation induced by 1,g/mL collagen and 3 gM arachidonic acid. All of H2-receptor antagonists inhibited, in concentration of 1.4 mm, the aggregation induced by ADP, collagen and arachidonic acid. Ranitidine and cimetidine reduced markedly, in same concentration, P-selectin levels after induction of aggregation by 5 gm ADP, 1 ig/xmL collagen and 3 gM arachidonic acid. When classified by the strength of inhibitory action, ranitidine and cimetidine were strong, followed by famotidine and roxatidine. 2 It is considered that inhibitory effects of H.-receptor antagonists on platelet function are weaker than those of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), since ASA inhibited platelet aggregation in concentration of 100 MM. 3 No relationship was observed between inhibitory effects of H2-receptor antagonists on platelet aggregation induced by above agonists and the presence or absence of imidazole ring in the chemical structure.

SummaryA reconstituted high density lipoprotein (rHDL) prepared for clinical use was tested for its influence on platelet activity modulated by various stimuli. In a first series of in vitro experiments, rHDL was added to blood in a concentration series, and platelet rich plasma (PRP) was isolated. Platelets were stimulated with arachidonic acid, collagen, epinephrine or ADP, and platelet aggregation was assessed. rHDL mediated a dose dependent inhibition of the platelet activity. With purified platelets rHDL inhibited the release reaction induced by collagen, but not by thrombin, as measured by CD62P (P-Selectin) expression on the plasma membrane. Ex vivo experiments were performed with PRP from volunteers, previously infused with 25 mg rHDL/kg body weight and 40 mg rHDL/kg body weight, respectively. Platelet activity in PRP was assessed before, and up to 30 h after the end of the rHDL infusion. A transient inhibition of the platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid and collagen was observed which was more pronounced in the group receiving 40 mg rHDL/kg body weight. In both groups of experiments, in vitro and ex vivo, the inhibition of the platelet activity was also dependent on the stimulus used.

Background Halothane increases bleeding time and suppresses platelet aggregation in vivo and in vitro. A previous study by the authors suggests that halothane inhibits platelet aggregation by reducing thromboxane (TX) A2 receptor-binding affinity. However, no studies of the effects of sevoflurane on platelet aggregation have been published. Methods The effects of sevoflurane, halothane, and isoflurane were examined at doses of 0.13-1.4 mM. Human platelet aggregation was induced by adenosine diphosphate, epinephrine, arachidonic acid, prostaglandin G2, and a TXA2 agonist ([+]-9, 11-epithia-11, 12-methano-TXA2, STA2) and measured by aggregometry. Platelet TXB2 levels were measured by radioimmunoassay, and the ligand-binding characteristics of the TXA2 receptors were examined by Scatchard analysis using a [3H]-labeled TXA2 receptor antagonist (5Z-7-(3-endo-([ring-4-[3H] phenyl) sulphonylamino-[2.2.1.] bicyclohept-2-exo-yl) heptenoic acid, [3H]S145). Results Isoflurane (0.28-0.84 mM) did not significantly affect platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate and epinephrine. Sevoflurane (0.13-0.91 mM) and halothane (0.49-1.25 mM) inhibited secondary platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (1-10 microM) and epinephrine (1-10 microM) without altering primary aggregation. Sevoflurane (0.13 mM) also inhibited arachidonic acid-induced aggregation, but not that induced by prostaglandin G2 or STA2, although halothane (0.49 mM) inhibited the latter. Sevoflurane (3 mM) did not affect the binding of [3H]S145 to platelets, whereas halothane (3.3 mM) suppressed it strongly. Sevoflurane (0.26 mM) and halothane (0.98 mM) strongly suppressed TXB2 formation by arachidonic acid-stimulated platelets. Conclusions The findings that sevoflurane suppressed the effects of arachidonic acid, but not those of prostaglandin G2 and STA2, suggest strongly that sevoflurane inhibited TXA2 formation by suppressing cyclooxygenase activity. Halothane appeared to suppress both TXA2 formation and binding to its receptors. Sevoflurane has strong antiaggregatory effects at subanesthetic concentrations (greater than 0.13 mM; i.e., approximately 0.5 vol/%), whereas halothane has similar effects at somewhat greater anesthetic concentrations (0.49 mM; i.e., approximately 0.54 vol/%). Isoflurane at clinical concentration (0.84 mM; i.e., approximately 1.82 vol/%) does not affect platelet aggregation significantly.

SummaryTherapeutic preparations of desmopressin for parenteral use contain the preservative chlorobutanol (5 mg/ml). We show here that chlorobutanol is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation and release. It exhibited a significant inhibitory activity toward several aggregation inducers in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Thromboxane B2 formation, ATP release, and elevation of cytosolic free calcium caused by collagen, ADP, epinephrine, arachidonic acid and thrombin respectively were markedly inhibited by chlorobutanol. Chlorobutanol had no effect on elastase- treated platelets and its antiplatelet effect could be reversed. It is concluded that the antiplatelet effect of chlorobutanol is mainly due to its inhibition on the arachidonic acid pathway but it is unlikely to have a nonspecitic toxic effect. This antiplatelet effect of chlorobutanol suggests that desmopressin, when administered for improving hemostasis, should not contain chlorobutanol as a preservative.

SummaryIndobufen is an antiplatelet drug able to inhibit thromboxane production and cyclooxygenase-dependent platelet aggregation by a reversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase. Indobufen exists in two enantiomeric forms, of which only d-indobufen is active in vitro in inhibiting cyclooxygenase. In order to verify that also inhibition of platelet function is totally accounted for by d-indobufen, ten patients with proven coronary artery disease (8 male, 2 female, age, mean ± S.D., 58.7 ± 7.5 years) were given, in random sequence, both 100 mg d-indobufen and 200 mg dl-indobufen as single administrations in a double-blind crossover design study with a washout period between treatments of 72 h. In all patients thromboxane (TX) B2 generation after spontaneous clotting (at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 h), drug plasma levels (at the same times), platelet aggregation in response to ADP, adrenaline, arachidonic acid, collagen, PAF, and bleeding time (at 0, 2, 12 h) were evaluated after each treatment. Both treatments determined peak inhibition of TXB2 production at 2 h from administration, with no statistical difference between the two treatments (97 ±3% for both treatments). At 12 h inhibition was 87 ± 6% for d-indobufen and 88 ± 6% for dl-indobufen (p = NS). Inhibition of TXB2 production correlated significantly with plasma levels of the drugs. Maximum inhibitory effect on aggregation was seen in response to collagen 1.5 pg/ml (63 ± 44% for d-indobufen and 81 ± 22% for dl-indobufen) and arachidonic acid 0.5-2 mM (78 ± 34% for d-indobufen and 88 ± 24% for dl-indobufen) at 2 h after each administration. An effect of both treatments on platelet aggregation after 12 h was present only for adrenaline 2 μM (55 ± 41% for d-indobufen and 37 ± 54% for dl-indobufen), collagen 1.5 pg/ml (69 ± 30% for d-indobufen and 51 ± 61% for dl-indobufen), arachidonic acid 0.5-2 mM (56 ± 48% for d-indobufen and 35 ± 49% for dl-indobufen). The extent of inhibition of TX production and the extent of residual platelet aggregation were never significantly different between treatments. Bleeding time prolongation was similar in the two treatment groups without showing a pronounced and long lasting effect (from 7.0 ± 2.0 min to 10.0 ± 3.0 min at 2 h and 8.0 ± 2.0 min at 12 h for d-indobufen; from 6.0 ±1.0 min to 8.5 ± 2.0 min at 2 h and 8.0 ± 1.0 min at 12 h for dl-indobufen). These results demonstrate that the biological activity of dl-indobufen as an antiplatelet agent in vivo is totally accounted for by d-indobufen.

SummaryPlatelets were found to aggregate spontaneously when exposed to ultrasound generated by a commercial therapeutic device. At a given frequency, aggregation was found to be a dose-related phenomenon, increasing intensities of ultrasound inducing more extensive and more rapid aggregation. At any single intensity, the extent aggregation was increased as the frequency of the applied ultrasound was decreased (from 3.0 to 0.75 MHz).Ultrasound-induced platelet aggregation was found to be related to overall platelet sensitivity to adenosine diphosphate. More sensitive platelets were found to aggregate spontaneously at lower intensities of sound, and also the maximum extent of aggregation was found to be greater. Examination of ultrasound-induced platelet aggregates by electron microscopy demonstrated that the platelets had undergone the release reaction.The observation that haemoglobin was released from erythrocytes in whole blood irradiated under identical physical conditions suggests that the platelets are being distrupted by ultrasonic cavitation (violent gas/bubble oscillation).It is postulated that overall platelet aggregation is the result of two distinct effects. Firstly, the direct action of ultrasonic cavitation disrupts a small proportion of the platelet population, resulting in the liberation of active substances. These substances produce aggregation, both directly and indirectly by inducing the physiological release reaction in adjacent undamaged platelets.
