[The effect of ciprofloxacin on epinephrine and collagen-induced thrombocyte aggregation in vitro]. 1986

H D Reuter, and S Thiele

Concentrations of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-3-quinoline carboxylic acid (ciprofloxacin; designated tradename: Ciprobay) similar to maximal levels obtained in the serum of patients with intact renal function after application of therapeutic doses and 4- to 5-fold such concentrations do not influence epinephrine- or collagen-induced aggregation. 100 micrograms/ml ciprofloxacin, corresponding to the 20 fold maximal serum level of patients with intact renal function, does not influence aggregation induced by 2 micrograms/ml collagen as regards degree and kinetics of aggregation, while aggregation induced by 0.2 micrograms/ml collagen is significantly reduce. Aggregation induced by 1, 2 and 4 mumol/l epinephrine is also reduced significantly by 100 micrograms/ml ciprofloxacin. Changes brought about by high doses of ciprofloxacin still occur within the normal range. It is therefore concluded from this study that the hemostatic function of the platelets is not influenced in a clinically relevant manner by ciprofloxacin. Regarding the effect on platelet aggregation ciprofloxacin corresponds to the structurally related pipemidic acid.

D010974	Platelet Aggregation	The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS.	Aggregation, Platelet

D003094	Collagen	A polypeptide substance comprising about one third of the total protein in mammalian organisms. It is the main constituent of SKIN; CONNECTIVE TISSUE; and the organic substance of bones (BONE AND BONES) and teeth (TOOTH).

D004837	Epinephrine	The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
