Abstract
Antiplatelet aggregation agents have demonstrated clinical benefits in the treatment of ischemic stroke. In our study, a series of novel nitric oxide (NO)-donating ligustrazine derivatives were designed and synthesized as antiplatelet aggregation agents. They were evaluated for the inhibitory effect on 5'-diphosphate (ADP)-induced and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation in vitro. The results showed that compound 15d displayed the best activity in both ADP-induced and AA-induced assays, and compound 14a also showed quite better activity than ligustrazine. The preliminary structure-activity relationships of these novel NO-donating ligustrazine derivatives were discussed. Moreover, these compounds were docked with the thromboxane A2 receptor to study the structure-activity relationships. These results suggested that the novel NO-donating ligustrazine derivatives 14a and 15d deserve further study as potent antiplatelet aggregation agents.
