Synergistic antiplatelet effects of a nipecotamide A-1C and low dose aspirin
1994
Abstract 1. 1. The effects of an antithrombotic nipecotamide, A-1, and aspirin were examined separately and in combination, on human platelet aggregation in vitro and on collagen + epinephrine-induced thromboembolic death of mice in vivo . 2. 2. Concurrent addition of the two agents to a platelet suspension resulted in a supraadditive inhibition. Racemic A-1 and its meso diastereomer A-1C behaved similarly in this respect. The IC 50 value of rac . A-1 declined from 46.25 to 18.4 μM in the presence of aspirin. 3. 3. In vivo , concurrent administration of A-1C and aspirin produced significant potentiation of antithrombotic activity. A 2-fold reduction in the ED 50 of A-1C occurred when it was coadministered with aspirin to mice; also, the toxicity reduced slightly, increasing the therapeutic index by a factor of 2.2. 4. 4. The design and synthesis of new compounds possessing the structural features of the two molecules appears to provide superior antithrombotic agents.
