Abstract
1. Synthetic analogues of prostaglandins E2 or F2a (monocyclic bisenoic prostaglandins), like the endogenous prostaglandin endoperoxides (prostaglandins G2 and H2) from platelets, and like synthetic analogues of prostaglandin H2 (bicyclic bisenoic prostaglandins), can induce aggregation of human platelets, although prostaglandins E2 and F2a themselves are inactive. 2. All the prostanoid compounds that induce platelet aggregation release 5-hydroxytryptamine from platelet dense bodies, but do not release beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from lysosomal granules. Arachidonic acid evokes a similar response. 3. All endoperoxide analogues tested (bicyclic compounds) were powerful platelet stimulants, and all active compounds (whether mono- or bi-cyclid) apparently acted via the same receptor as the endogenous prostaglandin endoperoxides. 4. The nature and stereospecificity of substituents at positions 11 and 15 (or 16) on prostaglandin E2 are critical determinants for platelet-stimulating activity: deoxy substitution at position 11 plus methylation at position 15 (or 16) produces a potent stimulant, particularly if the groups around C-15 are in the S configuration. 5. The effects of these structural modifications are apparently due to, at least in part, a change in side-chain conformation.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
