ADP-induced Blood Platelet Aggregation Research Articles

Terpenoid and phenolic constituents from the roots of Ilex pubescens

Five new metabolites, including two monoterpene glycosides Pubescenosides L–M (1–2) and three phenolic glycosides, Pubescenosides N-P (3–5), along with nineteen known ones, including liganoids, hemiterpenoids and caffeoylquinic acid derivates, were isolated from the roots of Ilex pubescens. Their structures were elucidated from extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR experiments. This study is the first to report monoterpene glycosides with β-pinene aglycone in Aquifoliaceae. Nine of these compounds were evaluated in vitro for their anti-platelet aggregation activities. Among them, compounds 3 and 4 showed moderate inhibitory activities on ADP-induced blood platelet aggregation [inhibition (%): 32.3 and 33.6, respectively] as compared to aspirin.

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis, Dimroth Rearrangement and Blood Platelet Disaggregation Property of Pyrimido[4′,5′:4,5]selenolo[2,3-b]quinolines: A New Class of Condensed Quinoline.

Compounds containing 4-aminoselenolo[3,2-d] pyrimidine in a novel tetracyclic condensed quinoline system viz. pyrimido[4',5':4,5]selenolo [2,3-b]quinoline have been synthesized. Dimroth rearrangement of this new condensed diazine system is studied. Biological study shows that while all compounds are active against collagen induced blood platelet aggregation, they are found to be inactive against ADP induced blood platelet aggregation.

Anti-thrombic activity of Korean herbal medicine, Dae-Jo-Whan and its herbs

The anti-thrombic properties of the Korean herbal medicine, Dae-Jo-Hwan (DJW), which is consisted of 11 herbs (indicated as concentrations) of Rehmanniae radix 24%, Hominis placenta 5%, Testudinis carapax 9%, Eucommiae cortex 9%, Asparagi radix 9%, Phellodendri cortex 9%, Achyranthis radix 7%, Liriopis tuber 7%, Angelicae sinensis radix 7%, Ginseng radix 6%, and Schizandrae fructus 3%, were investigated. The extracts of DJW and its 11 herbs, except G. radix, A. sinensis radix and S. Fructus, inhibited the endotoxin-induced hepatic venous thrombosis in high cholesterol diet-treated rats. Also the extract inhibited the endotoxin-induced decrease in blood platelets and fibrinogen, and endotoxin-induced increase in fibrin degradation products (FDP) on disseminated intravascular coagulation in normal rats. In in vitro experiments, the extract was shown to have inhibitory effect on collagen- and ADP-induced blood platelet aggregation, on thrombin-induced conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin and on the activity of plasminogen or plasmin. In conclusion, the protection of extracts of Korean herbs on the ischemic infarction induced artificially might be related to their inhibitory effects on DIC, platelet coagulation and thrombic action.
