Beschreibungen/Notizen
Studies were undertaken to examine the pharmacological properties and stereochemical requirements of a limited series of prostanoic acid analogs for inhibition of arachidonic acid (AA) and/ or endoperoxide (U46619)-mediated responses in human platelets and rat aorta. To assess the role of stereochemistry, a set of
trans- and
cis-isomers of 13-azaprostanoic acid (APA) and 11a-homo-13-azaprostanoic acid (HAPA) were prepared. Each prostanoic acid analog blocked AA- or U46619-induced aggregatory and secretory responses in platelets, and U46619-mediated contractions of rat aorta in a concentration-dependent manner (0.1 to 100 μM). The azaprostanoic acid analogs blocked responses to both inducers of platelet activation with
ic
50 values ranging from 3.4 to 27.5μM.
Trans-APA was about 2- to 3-fold more active as an antagonist of serotonin release induced by AA or U46619 than the remaining analogs. The rank order of inhibitory potency (
ic
50; μM) for these analogs against U46619-induced serotonin release in human platelets was
trans-APA (3.4) >
cis-APA (8.9) =
cis-HAPA (8.7) =
trans-HAPA (9.1). Concentrations of the prostanoic acid analogs required to block these responses to AA and U46619 were similar, and the highest concentration used (100 μM) did not modify AA-induced malondialdehyde production in human platelet preparations. In contrast, the isomers of APA and HAPA were equally active as antagonists of U46619-indueed contractions of rat vascular tissue, possessing

values varying from 7.1 to 13.2 μM. Each azaprostanoic acid analog shifted the concentration-response curve of U46619 in rat aorta to the right, indicating a competitive-type inhibition. In addition, the azoprostanoic acid analog (U51605) was a more potent competitive antagonist of U46619 in this preparation and possessed an average p

value of 6.18. In summary, the results show that (1) expansion of the five-membered ring of APA to the six-membered ring analogs (HAPA) led to a retention of potent inhibitory activity against U46619 in human platelets and rat vascular smooth muscle, (2) the antiaggregatory and antisecretory actions of the azaprostanoic acid analogs were mediated by a blockade of the responses to AA and U46619, and not by an inhibition of AA metabolism, (3) the blocking activity for the APA isomers was stereoselective (
trans >
cis) whereas the isomers of HAPA were equally effective as inhibitors of platelet function; and (4) these azaprostanoic acid analogs act as selective endoperoxide (U46619)/thromboxane A
2 antagonists in these two tissues.
