Abstract

Background: Antiplatelet drugs represent the keystone in the treatment and prevention of diseases of ischemic origin, including coronary artery disease. The current palette of drugs represents efficient modalities in most cases, but their effect can be limited in certain situations or associated with specific side effects. In this study, representatives of compounds selected from series having scaffolds with known or potential antiplatelet activity were tested. These compounds were previously synthetized by us, but their biological effects have not yet been reported. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the antiplatelet and anticoagulation properties of selected compounds and determine their mechanism of action. Methods: Antiplatelet activity of compounds and their mechanisms of action were evaluated using human blood by impedance aggregometry and various aggregation inducers and inhibitors and compared to appropriate standards. Cytotoxicity was tested using breast adenocarcinoma cell cultures and potential anticoagulation activity was also determined. Results: In total, four of 34 compounds tested were equally or more active than the standard antiplatelet drug Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA). In contrast to ASA, all 4 active compounds decreased platelet aggregation triggered not only by collagen, but also partly by ADP. The major mechanism of action is based on antagonism at thromboxane receptors. In higher concentrations, inhibition of thromboxane synthase was also noted. In contrast to ASA, the tested compounds did not block cyclooxygenase-1. Conclusion: The most active compound, 2-amino-4-(1-indol-3-yl)-6-nitro-4-chromene-3- carbonitrile (2-N), which is 4-5x times more potent than ASA, is a promising compound for the development of novel antiplatelet drugs.
