Megakaryocytes platelets inducing agent being useful in treating diseases involving thrombopenia. Megakaryocytes platelets inducing agent is an inducing agent for megakaryocytes and or platelets from pluripotent stem cells.
Timegadine is a competitive inhibitor of COX and lipo-oxygenase, with IC50s ranging from 5 nM (washed rabbit platelets) to 20 μM (rat brain) for COX and 100 μM for lipo-oxygenase both in the cytosol fraction of horse platelet homogenates and in washed rabbit platelets.
Aglafoline inhibits in a concentration-dependent manner the aggregation and ATP release reaction induced in washed rabbit platelets by PAF (platelet-activating factor). The IC50 values of Aglafoline on PAF (3.6 nM)-induced platelet aggregation were about 50 μM.
Dibutyryl-cGMP sodium (Bt2cGMP sodium) is a cell-permeable cGMP analog. Dibutyryl-cGMP sodium preferentially activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). Dibutyryl-cGMP sodium inhibits [3H]-arachidonic acid release in human platelets stimulated by gamma
