Abstract:
3-([1:1',2':1"]-3'-Terphenyl)propanol (CAS 186835-06-3, F050) and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) inhibited platelet aggregation induced by CaCl2, arachidonic acid, collagen, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thrombin in guinea pigs, rabbits and rats in vitro. However, F050 had a wider spectrum of actions than ASA. Orally administered F050 inhibited platelet aggregation ex vivo. F050 significantly reduced the thrombus formation in the extracorporeal circulation thrombosis model in guinea pigs. It inhibited erythrocyte hemolysis induced by hypotonic NaCl, while ASA did not. F050, but not ASA, inhibited increases in platelet [CA2+]i caused by thrombin in guinea pigs. F050 is a parent compound that will facilitate the development of an orally active drug for the treatment of thrombotic diseases.
