  • Title: Effect of X-Asp (or Asn)-Phe-Nh2 (where X; H, Met) peptides on human platelet aggregation in vitro.
    Author: Liakopoulou-Kyriakides M, Stavropoulos G.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1992 Feb; 26(2):249-56. PubMed ID: 1558537.
    Abstract:
    A series of di- and tripeptides containing aspartic or asparagine as N-terminal or intermediate amino acid were synthesized and tested for their effect on human platelet aggregation in vitro. It was found that only Met-Asp(or Asn)-Phe-NH2 inhibited platelet aggregation induced by collagen, ADP or adrenaline. Asn-Phe-NH2 and to a small extent Asp-Phe-NH2 presented strong aggregatory activity at low concentrations (at 0.5 mM or lower than this). All the other peptides tested, did not show any effect on platelet aggregation even at the concentration of 10 mM.
