Prostaglandin D2 inhibits the aggregation of human platelets

TLDR
Prostaglandin D2, heretofore considered to be biologically inactive, was found to be more than twice as potent as prostaglandsin E1 as an inhibitor of aggregation in human citrated platelet-rich plasma.

An enzyme isolated from arteries transforms prostaglandin endoperoxides to an unstable substance that inhibits platelet aggregation.

TL;DR: A balance between formation of anti- and pro-aggregatory substances by enzymes could also contribute to the maintenance of the integrity of vascular endothelium and explain the mechanism of formation of intra-arterial thrombi in certain physiopathological conditions.

A lipid peroxide inhibits the enzyme in blood vessel microsomes that generates from prostaglandin endoperoxides the substance (prostaglandin X) which prevents platelet aggregation

TL;DR: Investigation of microsomes from arterial wall or fundus of stomach with platelet-rich plasma under various conditions shows that the enzyme which generates PGX can utilize endoperoxides liberated from platelets or added to the cuvette, thereby preventing, interrupting or reversing the process of platelet aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective release of archidonic acid from the phospholipids of human platelets in response to thrombin.

TL;DR: The present studies show that human platelets contain phospholipase A2 activities that preferentially release arachidonic acid, and one of these activities specifically utilizes 1-acyl-2-arachidonyl-phosphatidyl-choline, both of which are highly enriched with arachIDonic acid.

Isolation and Structure of Two Prostaglandin Endoperoxides That Cause Platelet Aggregation

TL;DR: Platelet aggregation induced by thrombin was accompanied by release of material reducible by stannous chloride into prostaglandin F(2alpha), thus indicating the involvement of endogenous prostaglandsin endoperoxides in platelet aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and properties of intermediates in prostaglandin biosynthesis

TL;DR: The finding that prostaglandin R can be converted enzymatically into the biologically inactive prostaglandsin D in good yields, reveals a new pathway in prostag landin metabolism and postulates the key position of prostag Landin R as the first biologically active product formed from essential fatty acids.

Detection and isolation of an endoperoxide intermediate in prostaglandin biosynthesis.

TL;DR: The smooth muscle-stimulating activity of the endoperoxide ester on the isolated rabbit aortas trip was 4- to 8-times higher than that of the methyl ester of prostaglandin E(2).

Prostaglandins and related factors: xix. thin-layer chromatography of prostaglandins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described methods for separation of all known prostaglandins and some derivatives as free acids and methyl esters by thin-layer chromatography both on analytical and preparative scales.
