The inhibition of human platelet aggregation produced by PGF2.alpha. [prostaglandin F2.alpha.] is not specific for thromboxane A2 mimetics. Aggregation waves induced by PAF [platelet-activating factor] and thrombin are also inhibited by PGF2.alpha. (8 .mu.M); ADP is unaffected. These effects are still seen in platelets from aspirin-treated donors and platelets desensitized to thromboxane-like agonists (e.g., 11,9-epoxymethano PGH2). The thromboxane receptor antagonist EP 045 (up to 20 .mu.M) had no effect on primary aggregation induced by PAF, thrombin and ADP. EP 045 (IC50 [50% inhibition] = 0.5 .mu.M), but not PGF2.alpha. (28 .mu.M), displaces the specific binding of [3H] 9,11-epoxymethano PGH2 to washed human platelets was previously shown. PGF2.alpha. produces small increases in cAMP levels; both this effect and the anti-aggregation are diminished by the adenyl cyclase inhibitor SQ 22536 [9-(tetrahydro-2-furyl)adenine]. The rise in cAMP induced by PGF2.alpha. is inhibited to a greater extent by the presence of ADP than by thrombin, PAF or a thromboxane mimetic. The ability of aggregating agents to inhibit this increase correlates inversely with their sensitivity to inhibition by PGF2.alpha.. Apparently, the very weak effect of PGF2.alpha. on cAMP production is sufficient to account for its inhibitory activity; it is unlikely to be a competitive antagonist at the platelet thromboxane receptor as suggested by others.
