Receiued A p r i l 14, 1969 Eight prostaglandins, PGE1, PGE2, PGAI, PGAz, PGFI,, PGFZ,, PGF16, and PGFq, were t,ested for their effect on platelet aggregation-adhesion induced by ADP, thrombin, and collagen. All compounds inhibited aggregation in platelet-rich rat plasma and human plasma t'o varying degrees. PGE, was the most active compound in the group. In addition, PGEI showed very pot'ent thrombolytic effect against ADP-induced platelet thrombi in uilro. h single intravenous injection of 3 mg of PGE1,'kg in rats inhibited platelet aggregation in blood samples withdrawn from animals 30 min following the injection. Platelet aggregation was also inhibited significant,ly in rats given infusions of PGE, at 1.8 mg/kg per day for 30 days.

Prostaglandins are powerful vasoactive compounds which occur in human seminal plasma, sheep seminal vesicles, and other tissues. Born and coworkers3have reported that a number of vasoactive compounds show a corresponding ability to affect platelet behavior. Since prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) is knolm to be a potent vasodilator, it was of interest to investigate the influence of PGEl and other prostaglandins on platelet aggregation. I1200

Since PGE1 was the most potent inhibitor of ADPand thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, the effect of the compound against collagen-induced adhesion was examined. The results presented in Figure 1 show that even a low concentration of PGEl (0.1 pg/ml) inhibits collagen-induced adhesion and aggregation of PRHP. Similar experiments with P R R P (Figure 2 ) showed that PGEl was equally active against collageninduced rat platelet aggregation a t 0.1 pg/ml. The inhibitory action of PGEl was concentration dependent in the range 0.05-0.2 pg/ml. Concentrations of 0.2

To investigate whether PGEl would affect platelet behavior in vivo, rats (six per group) were given a single intravenous injection of 3 mg of PGE,/kg or saline. Table IV shows that platelet aggregation in PRRP was significantly inhibited up to 30 min following injection. Lower doses of PGEl showed shorter duration of activity. I t was also observed that 3 mg of PGE,/kg was too high a dose for the animals to tolerate without overt signs of discomfort. Since single injections of lower doses did not produce significant inhibition of platelet aggregation and since single injections of high doses produced undesirable acute effects, the effect of continuous infusion of a low dose of PGEl (0.18 mg/kg infused over a 5-min period, ten times each day) for 30 days was investigated in rats. Results in Table V show that VA, SS, and P H were significantly inhibited in the PGEl-infused rats. Results obtained with rats given PGE1 orally showed that the compound did not affect platelet aggregation of animals even a t massive doses of 10 mg/kg body weight.

Discussion

I t was reported ti) Iiloeze4that W E 1 inhibits SUPilrduced aggregation of rat and human platelets. Hc ; ~ l observed ~o that PGE? accelerates ADP-induced aggregation of rat platelets and that the compound showed 110 ~igiiificiiritrffect on human platelet s. Ehmons aiid cuIvorlierb8 hxve confirmed Iiloeze’s finding:, with I’( Xi :&lidhave further reported that topical applicatiorii uf PGE1 solution arid iiitraveiious irijectiori of I’GE1 temporarily inhibited “injury-induced platelet thrombi formation” in cerebral cortical arteries of rtibbits. Our irivestigatioii on the effect of prostaglandins o n platelet aggregat 11 induced by three agents (,lDP, thrombin, or collagen) showed that a11 prostaglalidiris pos:,ehsed some degree of inhibitor\ activitj , though PGE1 waq by far the most potent compound in the group. Data in Table. I arid I1 :,how that at least two of the prostaglandins (PGIS, and PGFI,) are more active in PRRI’ than in PRHI’. In addition, I’G& iq active :kt 70 pg/ml agrtiiist human and rat platelet aggrtptioii (T:hleh T and TI). whereas it is inactive agairiiit rabbit pltttelct aggregatioii even at 100 pg/ml.These ohseivatioris suggeht that tlie diff erent prostagI:ttidiiis show L: poshible :,pccie.: difference in their inhibition of platelet aggregation.
