    Journal: Eur J Pharmacol; 1985 Jun 07; 112(2):161-9. PubMed ID: 3896821.
    Abstract:
    LG 82-4-00 (5-(2-(1-imidazolyl)-ethoxy)-thiophene-2-carboxylate) and LG 82-4-01 (4-chloro-thiophenic-substituted derivative) were examined for specific inhibition of thromboxane (TX) synthetase. Thromboxane formation was measured by a radioimmunoassay specific for TXB2. In thrombin (0.6 IU/ml)-stimulated, washed human platelet suspensions (WPS) the IC50 (microM) for inhibition of TX formation were 1.1 (LG 82-4-00), 1.3 (LG 82-4-01) and 0.7 (dazoxiben). LG 82-4-00, LG 82-4-01 and dazoxiben also inhibited collagen (0.6-2.5 micrograms/ml)-induced TXB2 formation and platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma. Neither LG 82-4-00 nor LG 82-4-01 had vasoconstrictor, proaggregatory or TX antagonistic activity or affected primary wave ADP aggregation. There was less than 10% inhibition of PGI2 formation from bovine coronary artery slices with concentrations up to 100 microM. At 100 microM, dazoxiben inhibited thrombin-induced 12-HPETE formation in WPS by 81 +/- 10% whereas LG 82-4-00 and LG 82-4-01 were much less active. These data indicate that LG 82-4-00 and LG 82-4-01 are specific inhibitors of thromboxane synthetase in human platelets.
