Abstract
Previous antithrombotic research has centered around the search for antiplatelet drugs that could inhibit aggregation in response to all agonists. To date, only agents that elevate cyclic AMP such as PGI2 met the above criterion. In this report we discuss the discovery of a new class of antiplatelet compounds (2-aminochromones) that inhibit aggregation induced by all agonists without elevating cyclic AMP. 2- aminochromones are potent platelet phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors. These data suggest that PLC activation is a central controlling activity of agonist-stimulated platelet aggregation.
