Background We have previously reported aspirin failure in suppressing enhanced thromboxane (TX) biosynthesis in a subset of episodes of platelet activation during the acute phase of unstable angina. The recent discovery of a second prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS-2), inducible in response to inflammatory or mitogenic stimuli, prompted us to reexamine TXA(2) biosynthesis in unstable angina as modified by two cyclooxygenase inhibitors differentially affecting PGHS-2 despite a comparable impact on platelet PGHS-1.Methods and Results We randomized 20 patients (15 men and 5 women aged 59 +/- 10 years) with unstable angina to short-term treatment with aspirin (320 mg/d) or indobufen (200 mg BID) and collected 6 to 18 consecutive urine samples. Urinary 11-dehydro-TXB2 was extracted and measured by a previously validated radioimmunoassay as a reflection of in vivo TXA(2) biosynthesis. Metabolite excretion averaged 102 pg/mg creatinine (median value; n=76) in the aspirin group and 55 pg/mg creatinine (median value; n=99) in the indobufen group (P200 pg/mg creatinine among patients treated with aspirin versus 6 such samples (6%) among those treated with indobufen (P
