چکیده

Incubation for a short time of arachidonic acid with the microsomal fraction of a homogenate of the vesicular gland of sheep in the presence of 1 mM p-mercuribenzoate followed by extraction and silicic acid chromatography yielded two prostaglandin endoperoxides. The structures of these compounds, i.e., 15-hydroperoxy-9alpha,11alpha-peroxidoprosta-5,13-dienoic acid (prostaglandin G(2)) and 15-hydroxy-9alpha,11alpha-peroxidoprosta-5,13-dienoic acid (prostaglandin H(2)), were assigned mainly by a number of chemical transformations into previously known prostaglandins. The new prostaglandins were 50-200 times (prostaglandin G(2)) and 100-450 times (prostaglandin H(2)) more active than prostaglandin E(2) on the superfused aorta strip. The half-life of the prostaglandin endoperoxides in aqueous medium (about 5 min) was significantly longer than that of "rabbit aorta-contracting substance" released from guinea pig lung, indicating that none of the prostaglandin endoperoxides is identical with this factor. Addition of 10-300 ng/ml of the endoperoxides to suspensions of washed human platelets resulted in rapid aggregation. Furthermore, platelet aggregation induced by thrombin was accompanied by release of material reducible by stannous chloride into prostaglandin F(2alpha), thus indicating the involvement of endogenous prostaglandin endoperoxides in platelet aggregation.

A metabolite of sulphinpyrazone that is largely responsible for the effect of the drug on the platelet prostaglandin pathway.

I n view of the fairly large number of compounds that exhibit these differential effects it is necessary to review the relative importance of prostaglandin endoperoxides and thromboxane A 2 in platelet function. These results are consistent with prostaglandin endoperoxides being produced in large enough quantities when sodium arachidonate is added to a platelet suspension to cause aggregation t...

Platelet aggregation and exposure of fibrinogen receptors by prostaglandin endoperoxide analogues.

Two stable analogues of prostaglandin endoperoxides9.1 1 -azo-prostanoid III (9-1 1 -azo PGH2) and 9.1 1 -methanoepoxy PGH2 (U4661 9 compound)-caused aggregation of washed human platelets and release of a-granule contents. Platelet aggregation induced by these compounds was potentiated by the addition of purified human fibrinogen in a dose-dependent manner. Incubation of prostaglandin endoperox...

Inhibition of collagen-induced platelet activation by 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine: evidence for an adenosine diphosphate requirement and synergistic influence of prostaglandin endoperoxides.

The relative roles of platelet autacoids such as adenosine diphosphate (ADP), prostaglandin endoperoxides, and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) in collagen-induced platelet activation are not fully understood. We reexamined this relationship using the ADP affinity analogue, 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine (FSBA), which covalently modifies a receptor for ADP on the platelet surface, thereby inhibiting...

Synthesis and biological properties of pinane-thromboxane A2, a selective inhibitor of coronary artery constriction, platelet aggregation, and thromboxane formation.

Pinane-thromboxane A2 (PTA2, [1alpha,2 beta(Z),-3 alpha (1E,3R*),5 alpha]-7-(3-(3-hydroxy-1-octenyl)-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-yl)-5-heptenoic acid) has been synthesized and tested for biological activity in systems responsive to thromboxane A2, stable prostaglandin endoperoxide (PGH2) analogs, and prostatacyclin (PGI2). At low concentrations, PTA2 inhibited cat coronary artery constrict...

Inhibition of human platelet thromboxane synthetase by 9,11-azoprosta-5,13-dienoic acid.

The synthetic prostaglandin analog 9,11-azoprosta-5,13-dienoic acid (azo analog I) has been found to be a potent inhibitor of human platelet thromboxane synthetase by three independent analytical methods: electron-capture gas chromatography, radioisotopic thin-layer chromatography, and radioimmunoassay. In the presence of azo analog I, human platelet aggregation induced by either the prostaglan...
