Abstract
1 Blood platelets from normal human subjects were isolated and aggregated in vitro with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). 2 The effects of chlorpromazine and 7 major metabolites upon 5-HT-induced aggregation were investigated. 3 All the phenothiazines inhibited 5-HT-induced aggregation when added to platelet rich plasma 3 min prior to 5-HT. 4 There were no qualitative differences in the inhibitory effects, but inhibitory potency varied over a wide range. The decreasing order of potency was monodesmethylchlorpromazine, chlorpromazine, 7-hydroxychlorpromazine, didesmethylchlorpromazine, 3,7 -dimethoxy-chlorpromazine, didesmethylchlorpromazine sulphoxide, chlorpromazine sulphoxide, chlorpromazine nitroxide.
