title: [Effect of ergoline derivatives on platelet and blood vessels].
abstract: The influence of dihydrogenated ergot alkaloids on vessels and blood platelets was studied in vitro and in vivo. At low concentrations they cause contraction of isolated vein strips via a stimulation of alpha-adrenoceptors, at higher concentrations they antagonize the action of noradrenaline on arteries and veins and inhibit the adrenaline-induced platelet aggregation in vitro. In volunteers, intravenous and subcutaneous administration of dihydroergotamine (Dihytamin) caused a decrease in blood volume of the capacitance vessels and inhibition of the adrenaline-potentiated platelet aggregation "ex vivo". The selective venoconstrictor and antiaggregating effects of dihydroergotamine are utilized in the postoperative prophylaxis of thrombosis.
