  • Title: On the mechanism of thrombolytic action of thromboxane synthetase inhibitors.
    Author: Korbut R, Dembińska-Kieć A, Swies J, Zmuda A, Gryglewski RJ.
    Journal: Thromb Haemost; 1987 Oct 28; 58(3):827-30. PubMed ID: 3324381.
    Abstract:
    Using our in vivo model for studying drugs which prevent deposition of thrombi or dissipate thrombi formed in extra-corporeal circulation over a collagen strip superfused with arterial blood of anaesthetized and heparinized cats, we have found that dazoxiben--a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor--possesses not only antithrombotic but also thrombolytic potency in vivo (ED50 = 3.8 mg/kg i.v.). The thrombolytic potency of dazoxiben was antagonized by aspirin at a dose of 50 mg/kg i.v. Moreover, dazoxiben stimulated the generation of prostacyclin in isolated rat aortic slices incubated in platelet rich plasma, but not in platelet poor plasma. It is suggested that the thrombolytic potency of thromboxane synthetase inhibitors after their systemic administration is associated with the release of prostacyclin and/or prostacyclin-stable metabolites by the vascular endothelium owing to feeding of prostacyclin synthetase with prostaglandin endoperoxides accumulated in platelets following the inhibition of thromboxane synthetase.
