Abstract：
:NQ12, an antithrombotic agent, has been reported to display a potent antiplatelet activity. This study was undertaken to reveal the effect of NQ12 on rabbit platelet aggregation and signal transduction involved in the arachidonic acid (AA) cascade. NQ12 concentration-dependently suppressed collagen-, AA-, and U46619-induced rabbit platelet aggregation, with IC(50) values of 0.71 +/- 0.2, 0.82 +/- 0.3, and 0.45 +/- 0.1 microM, respectively. In addition, the concentration-response curve of U46619 was shifted to the right after NQ12 treatment, indicating an antagonism on thromboxane (TX) A(2) receptors. The collagen-stimulated AA liberation was inhibited by NQ12 in the same pattern as its inhibition of platelet aggregation. Further study revealed that NQ12 potently suppressed AA-mediated TXA(2) formation, but had no effect on the PGD(2) production, indicating an inhibitory effect on TXA(2) synthase, which was supported by a TXA(2) synthase activity assay indicating that NQ12 concentration-dependently inhibited TXA(2) formation converted from PGH(2). On the other hand, the AA-stimulated 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) formation was also suppressed by NQ12. Taken together, these results suggest that NQ12 has a potential to inhibit TXA(2) synthase activity and TXA(2) receptors, and it can modulate AA liberation as well as 12-HETE formation in platelets. This may be a convincing mechanism for the antithrombotic action of NQ12.
