In vitro effects of acetaminophen and its analogues on human platelet aggregation and thromboxane B2 synthesis. 1985

R I Shorr, and K J Kao, and S V Pizzo, and E J Rauckman, and G M Rosen

We examined the effect of acetaminophen and the structural analogues 2,6-dimethylacetaminophen, 3,5-dimethylacetaminophen, and N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine on human platelet aggregation, 14C-serotonin secretion, and thromboxane B2 synthesis. Preincubation with 1 mM acetaminophen for 2 min completely inhibited arachidonic acid- and collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation. Thromboxane B2 production and 14C-serotonin secretion by arachidonic acid-stimulated platelets also were completely inhibited. Preincubation of platelets with 1 mM 3,5-dimethylacetaminophen inhibited collagen and arachidonic acid-induced aggregation and arachidonic acid-stimulated thromboxane B2 synthesis, while treatment with 2,6-dimethylacetaminophen did not inhibit aggregation and blocked thromboxane B2 formation to a much lesser degree. Preincubation with 1 mM N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine inhibited arachidonic acid-induced aggregation and 14C-serotonin secretion but had no effect on arachidonic acid-induced thromboxane B2 formation and collagen-induced platelet aggregation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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

D000082 Acetaminophen Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D013929 Thromboxane B2 A stable, physiologically active compound formed in vivo from the prostaglandin endoperoxides. It is important in the platelet-release reaction (release of ADP and serotonin). B2, Thromboxane
D013931 Thromboxanes Physiologically active compounds found in many organs of the body. They are formed in vivo from the prostaglandin endoperoxides and cause platelet aggregation, contraction of arteries, and other biological effects. Thromboxanes are important mediators of the actions of polyunsaturated fatty acids transformed by cyclooxygenase. Thromboxane
D016718 Arachidonic Acid An unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.
