Cicaprost inhibits collagen-induced platelet accumulation in rat lungs for some hours
1Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Research Unit for Pharmacological Haemostaseology, Friedrich Schiller University of Jena, Germany.
Abstract:
A new method is introduced admitting of direct quantification of collagen-induced platelet trapping in the rat lung. The synthetic PG1(2)-mimetics, Iloprost and Cicaprost, are capable of inhibiting the trapping of platelets induced by collagen. The described method has proved to be suited for performing both pharmacodynamic and effectkinetic investigations with inhibitors of collagen-induced platelet trapping.
