Effects of fluproquazone on platelet aggregation in man. 1981

T Beveridge, and M Crawford

Turbidimetric investigations on platelets from healthy volunteers have shown inhibitory effects of 4-(p-fluorophenyl)-1-isopropyl-7-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone (fluproquazone) and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on both the extent and the velocity of aggregation induced by collagen. The threshold concentration of arachidonic acid needed to induce aggregation was also raised after fluproquazone was given to the donors. Whereas the inhibitory effects of fluproquazone disappear within 24 h, the qualitatively similar effects of ASA are much longer lasting (72--96 h). There is no evidence for enhancement of the effects of fluproquazone following four days of administration (100 mg t.i.d.).

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

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D000894	Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal	Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
