摘要
Brazilin {7,11b-dihydrobenz[b]indeno[1,2-d]pyran-3,6a,9,10(6H)-tetrol} inhibited thrombin-, collagen- and ADP-induced aggregation of washed rat platelets. Thrombin- and collagen-induced ATP release were also inhibited by brazilin in a concentration-dependent manner. Brazilin inhibited the formation of platelet thromboxane A(2) caused by thrombin, whereas it had no effect on the prostaglandin D-2 formation. Brazilin inhibited [H-3]-arachidonic acid liberation from membrane phospholipids of thrombin-stimulated platelets. Brazilin inhibited the rise of intracellular free calcium caused by thrombin. These results indicate that the inhibition of phospholipase (PLA(2)) activity and [Ca2+](i) elevation might be at least a part of antiplatelet mechanism of brazilin.
