Abstract

Gliclazide, a sulphonylurea derivative possessing an “in vivo” hypoglycaemic action, inhibits “in vitro” platelet release induced by thrombin or collagen. It does not alter 14CO 2 production from [6- 14C] glucose, but opposes its increase by thrombin. It is an activator of adenylate cyclase increasing the level of [ 3H] cyclic AMP formed within the intact platelets from [ 3H] adenine or [ 3H] adenosine. Finally, it inhibits the effects of thrombin and collagen on platelet adenylate cyclase activity.
