Effects of nifedipine on platelet function.

K Takahara, A Kuroiwa, T Matsushima

    American Heart Journal
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nifedipine effectively inhibits platelet aggregation in a dose-dependent manner, particularly for larger platelets. This anti-platelet effect was also observed in healthy volunteers after exercise, demonstrating nifedipine

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pharmacology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Platelet aggregation plays a crucial role in thrombosis.
    • Understanding modulators of platelet function is vital for cardiovascular health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the in vitro and in vivo effects of nifedipine on platelet aggregation.
    • To determine the dose-dependency and specific mechanisms of nifedipine's anti-platelet activity.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro studies using platelet-rich plasma stimulated with epinephrine, collagen, and adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
    • In vivo study involving six healthy volunteers, measuring platelet aggregability before and after exercise, with and without nifedipine administration.
    • Analysis of platelet size distribution and consumption ratio.

    Main Results:

    • Nifedipine demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation in vitro.
    • Greater than 90% inhibition was observed for epinephrine- and collagen-induced aggregation compared to ADP-induced aggregation.
    • Nifedipine showed a more pronounced inhibitory effect on the aggregation of larger platelets.
    • In vivo, nifedipine (10 mg) significantly inhibited platelet aggregability 90 minutes after administration in healthy volunteers, especially post-exercise.

    Conclusions:

    • Nifedipine possesses significant anti-platelet aggregation properties.
    • The drug's efficacy is dose-dependent and more pronounced against certain platelet agonists and larger platelets.
    • Nifedipine can counteract exercise-induced increases in platelet aggregability, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits in cardiovascular conditions.
