Abstract

The C-15 hydroxy epimers of three TXA 2/PGH 2 antagonists were resolved by HPLC and their pharmacology evaluated in canine saphenous veins and human platelets. For all three compounds, the epimers were equipotent in their ability to antagonize U46619 (1 μM) induced platelet aggregation. In contrast, one of the epimers for all three of the antagonists was significantly more potent than the other in antagonizing U46619 (10 nM) induced saphenous vein contractions. The data support the notion that the TXA 2/PGH 2 receptors in veins may be different from those in platelets.
