A. Robert’, J.L. Demolis, C. Girault, M.N. Coueille, P, Jaillon Unite de Pharmacologic Clinique and Laboratoire d’titmatologie’, Hbp,pita]Saint-Antoine,Paris,F Beraprost sodium (BPS) is an orally stable analogue of prostacyclin. In order to determine &e duration and intensity of platelet anti-aggregating effects of BPS, 12 healthy male caucasian volunteers participated in a double blind, randomized, placeb*controlled, cross-over study. In 2 consecutive sessions, after overnight fasting, they absorbed: I) Single oral doses of BPS (20.40.60 pg and placebo); 2) Repeated oral doses of BPS (20,40,60 pg and placebo tid for 3 days). In vitro platelet aggregation in response to 5 pM ADP was measured in platelet rich titrated plasma. Results were normalized to placebo at simultaneous times during 8 hours).

Trental-Penloxifylhne is an orally active agent for the treatment of peripheral vascular number of other conditions involving a defective regional microcirculation. The primary
disease, cerebrovascular disease and a mechanism by which it increases blood
flow appears to be related to an overall improvement in haemorheological characteristicssuch aserythmcyte deformability, blood viscosity and plasma fibrinogen concentration. Our compound drotaverineacephyllinate (Depogen) has similar effect filline on the basis of earlier experiments. According to earlier experiments, Depogen inhibits the aggregation of rabbit and human platelets in a dose dependent this study we have compared the antiaggreqtory effect of papaverine, drotaverine, pentoxifylline and Depogen. We their platelet CAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitory effect too. Rabbit platelet aggregation was induced by arachidonic collagen, ADP and A-23 187 Ca ionophore. The phosphodiesterase enzyme was prepared from rabbit platelets.

We have found a good correlation between the phosphodiesterase inhibitory effect and the antiaggregatory effect of these compounds. These results suggest, that the phosphodiesterase inhibitory effect of these compounds constitutes the basis of their antiaggregatory effect. Depogen inhibits the PAF and U 46619 induced rabbit platelet aggregation and PAF induced SHidroxytriptamine release from rabbit platelet at a 10-1000 rM/l concentration range. In this work we examined the PGI, releasing effect of Depogen in a wide concentration range (0.1-100 &ml). We observed that the maximal PGI, releasing effect of Depogen appeared between l-5 !&ml. These experiments show, that the concentration which exerts the PGI, release and the concentration which has antiaggregatory effect are very close to each other.
