The inability of propranolol and aspirin to inhibit the response of fibrinolytic activity and factor VIII-antigen to infusion of DDAVP. 1984

E J Brommer, and F H Derkx, and M M Barrett-Bergshoeff, and M A Schalekamp

We tested the response of the fibrinolytic activity and factor VIII-antigen levels to infusion of DDAVP in healthy volunteers and we studied the influence of propranolol and aspirin on this response. After DDAVP, 0.4 microgram/kg in 10 min i.v., the fibrinolytic activity of redissolved euglobulins rose from 179 to 452 mm2 (lysis area of fibrin plates); after pretreatment with propranolol, 320 mg per day during 7 days, DDAVP induced a similar rise (from 166 to 471 mm2) and after pretreatment with a single dose of aspirin, 600 mg, ingested 5 hr before the DDAVP infusion, the lysis area increased from 159 to 455 mm2. Factor VIII-antigen level increased within 60 min after DDAVP from 104 to 208%; after pretreatment with propranolol from 111 to 230% and after a single dose of aspirin, DDAVP induced a rise from 107 to 206%. From these data we conclude that neither baseline levels nor the release of plasminogen activator or factor VIII after DDAVP infusion are influenced by beta-blockade or by interference with prostaglandin synthesis.

D011433 Propranolol A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.

D003894 Deamino Arginine Vasopressin A synthetic analog of the pituitary hormone, ARGININE VASOPRESSIN. Its action is mediated by the VASOPRESSIN receptor V2. It has prolonged antidiuretic activity, but little pressor effects. It also modulates levels of circulating FACTOR VIII and VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR.

D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.
