Aksoy, *Concetta Harakal, *J. Bryan Smith, Gwendolyn J. Stewart & Charles R. Zerweck Thrombosis Research Center and *Dept. of Pharmacology, Temple University School of Medicine, 3400 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA, 19140, U.S.A. 1 Canine jugular and femoral veins were studied to determine the possible importance of thromboxane (TXA2) and prostaglandin endoperoxides (prostaglandin H2, PGH2) in mediating bradykinin(BK)- induced contraction. 2 Isolated vein rings incubated in modified Krebs solution contracted to TXA2/PGH2 analogs SQ26655 and U44069 with potency of contraction exceeding that for BK. The potency ranking for both veins was SQ26655 > U44069 > BK > PGF21i> TXB2 > PGD2. 3 The cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors indomethacin (3 x 107M) and flufenamic acid (10- 5M) reduced BK contractions without affecting those induced by noradrenaline (NA). 4 TXA2/PGH2 receptor antagonists SQ29548 (10-8 M) and BM13177 (10-6 M) strongly inhibited BK- induced tension. The action of antagonists was reversible with negligible influence on NA-elicited contrac- tion. Selective removal of endothelium had no effect on BK-induced contraction or the action of the antagonists. 5 The thromboxane synthase inhibitors dazoxiben (10-4M) and CGS 12970 (10- M) had no significant inhibitory effect on BK-induced tension. 6 These results suggest that in canine jugular and femoral vein, the action of BK is largely dependent upon stimulation of the cyclo-oxygenase pathway to produce PGH2 and possibly TXA2, which can activate a smooth muscle TXA2/PGH2 receptor to elicit vasoconstriction.

  • Role of Proaggregatory and Antiaggregatory Prostaglandins in Hemostasis
    Role of proaggregatory and antiaggregatory prostaglandins in hemostasis. Studies with combined thromboxane synthase inhibition and thromboxane receptor antagonism. P Gresele, … , G Pieters, J Vermylen J Clin Invest. 1987;80(5):1435-1445. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113223. Research Article Thromboxane synthase inhibition can lead to two opposing effects: accumulation of proaggregatory cyclic endoperoxides and increased formation of antiaggregatory PGI2 and PGD2. The elimination of the effects of the cyclic endoperoxides by an endoperoxide-thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist should enhance the inhibition of hemostasis by thromboxane synthase blockers. We have carried out a series of double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover studies in healthy volunteers to check if this hypothesis may be operative in vivo in man. In a first study, in 10 healthy male volunteers, the combined administration of the thromboxane receptor antagonist BM 13.177 and the thromboxane synthase inhibitor dazoxiben gave stronger inhibition of platelet aggregation and prolonged the bleeding time more than either drug alone. In a second study, in 10 different healthy male volunteers, complete inhibition of cyclooxygenase with indomethacin reduced the prolongation of the bleeding time by the combination BM 13.177 plus dazoxiben. In a third study, in five volunteers, selective cumulative inhibition of platelet TXA2 synthesis by low-dose aspirin inhibited platelet aggregation and prolonged the bleeding time less than the combination BM 13.177 plus dazoxiben.

    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Effect of Prostanoids on Human Platelet Function: An Overview Steffen Braune, Jan-Heiner Küpper and Friedrich Jung * Institute of Biotechnology, Molecular Cell Biology, Brandenburg University of Technology, 01968 Senftenberg, Germany; steff[email protected] (S.B.); [email protected] (J.-H.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 October 2020; Accepted: 23 November 2020; Published: 27 November 2020 Abstract: Prostanoids are bioactive lipid mediators and take part in many physiological and pathophysiological processes in practically every organ, tissue and cell, including the vascular, renal, gastrointestinal and reproductive systems. In this review, we focus on their influence on platelets, which are key elements in thrombosis and hemostasis. The function of platelets is influenced by mediators in the blood and the vascular wall. Activated platelets aggregate and release bioactive substances, thereby activating further neighbored platelets, which finally can lead to the formation of thrombi. Prostanoids regulate the function of blood platelets by both activating or inhibiting and so are involved in hemostasis. Each prostanoid has a unique activity profile and, thus, a specific profile of action. This article reviews the effects of the following prostanoids: prostaglandin-D2 (PGD2), prostaglandin-E1, -E2 and E3 (PGE1, PGE2, PGE3), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane-A2 (TXA2) on platelet activation and aggregation via their respective receptors. Keywords: prostacyclin; thromboxane; prostaglandin; platelets 1. Introduction Hemostasis is a complex process that requires the interplay of multiple physiological pathways. Cellular and molecular mechanisms interact to stop bleedings of injured blood vessels or to seal denuded sub-endothelium with localized clot formation (Figure1).

  • Effects of Platelet-Modifying Drugs on Arterial Thromboembolism in Baboons
    Effects of platelet-modifying drugs on arterial thromboembolism in baboons. Aspirin potentiates the antithrombotic actions of dipyridamole and sulfinpyrazone by mechanism(s) independent of platelet cyclooxygenase inhibition. S R Hanson, … , L A Harker, T D Bjornsson J Clin Invest. 1985;75(5):1591-1599. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI111865. Research Article To resolve questions of drug actions, efficacy, and interactions for platelet-modifying agents used clinically, we have compared the relative capacities and mechanisms of aspirin, dipyridamole, sulfinpyrazone, and dazoxiben to prevent arterial thromboembolism in a baboon model. In 136 studies the agents were given twice daily by oral administration both singly and in combination. The antithrombotic efficacy of a given therapy was determined by its capacity to interrupt steady-state platelet utilization induced by thrombogenic arteriovenous cannulae. When given alone, dipyridamole and sulfinpyrazone reduced the rate at which platelets were utilized by thrombus formation in a dose-dependent manner with essentially complete interruption by dipyridamole at 10 mg/kg per d. In contrast, neither aspirin (2-100 mg/kg per d) nor dazoxiben (20-100 mg/kg per d) decreased cannula platelet consumption detectably despite the striking reduction in the capacity of platelets to produce thromboxane B2. However, aspirin, but not dazoxiben, potentiated the antithrombotic effects of dipyridamole and sulfinpyrazone in a dose-dependent fashion without changing the pharmacokinetics for any of the agents.
