  • Title: Effects of a new antihypertensive agent, SGB-1534, on rat platelet aggregation.
    Author: Aono J, Sakai K.
    Journal: Jpn J Pharmacol; 1986 Dec; 42(4):493-500. PubMed ID: 2879951.
    Abstract:
    The present study was designed to examine the antiplatelet activity of SGB-1534, 3-[2-[4-(o-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-2,4(1H, 3H)- quinazolinedione monohydrochloride, compared with prazosin, ketanserin and aspirin. The equihypotensive doses of SGB-1534, prazosin and ketanserin were administered orally to rats; and 1 hr later, their effects on collagen-induced platelet aggregation, compared with those of aspirin, were examined under ex vivo conditions. The bleeding time was determined by using the tail transection method. SGB-1534 (10 mg/kg) as well as ketanserin (3 and 10 mg/kg) and aspirin (10 mg/kg) effectively inhibited the platelet aggregation; and in addition, they significantly prolonged bleeding times. Prazosin in doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg did not affect either the aggregation or bleeding times. Whereas 10(-4) M aspirin significantly inhibited the production of malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat platelets, SGB-1534, prazosin and ketanserin even in considerably high concentrations (10(-4) or 10(-3) M) did not affect the MDA production and the cyclic AMP levels in the platelets. In isolated rat femoral arteries, SGB-1534, prazosin and ketanserin antagonized the contractile response to phenylephrine with pA2 values of approximately 10.06, 10.39 and 7.71, respectively. Also, SGB-1534 and ketanserin attenuated the contractile response to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) with pA2 values of 6.36 and 9.53, respectively, while prazosin had no antagonistic effects on 5-HT-induced contraction.
