10-8M PGI2-Na completely inhibited collagen induced aggregation of human platelets and the concomitant appearance of platelet factor 3 activity, but did not affect the adherence of platelets to collagen fibrils. At the same time, the presence of PGI2-Na could prevent the retention of platelets by glass beads.
Comparing to the inhibition of ADP induced aggregation a higher dose of PGI2-Na was needed to inhibit platelet aggregation by ionophore A23187. Furthermore, unlike ADP aggregation, increasing dose of ionophore could counteract the inhibitory effect of PGI2-Na. The shift of platelet actin from G to F from during ionophore aggregation could be prevented by appropriate dose of PGI2-Na. PGI2 derivatives (Chinoin, Hungary) with increased stability, although in higher doses, exerted activities similar to PGI2-Na.
