Abstract
The inhibitory potencies of carbamoylpiperidinoalkane and N-alkylnipecotoylpiperazine derivatives on ADP-stimulated human blood platelet aggregation, serotonin (5-HT) release and platelet factor 4 (PF-4) release were evaluated. The procedure was designed to allow concurrent determination of all three sets of values. Most compounds were more than twice as potent in blocking PF-4 (X = 91 +/- 1 (S.E., n = 7)%) compared to their inhibition of 5-HT (X = 38 +/- 1(S.E., n = 6)%) release; the one compound which failed to meet these criteria was still decidedly more powerful in impeding PF-4 than 5-HT release. Since the compounds' platelet aggregation-inhibitory values were within the same range as their 5-HT release-blocking potencies, but had a strikingly greater impact in arresting PF-4 release, it is suggested that the platelet plasma membrane and the lining enveloping the dense bodies may share certain commonalities, while the sheathing encasing the alpha-granules may differ from both in a tangible manner.
