title: [Mechanisms of platelet aggregation inhibition caused by sulfonylurea compounds. 4. Discussion, summary, and literature].
abstract: 6.1. It is known from the literature that in diabetes mellitus there is an increased tendency for the thrombocytes to aggregate. This fact represents a risk of thrombosis supplementary to the vascular wall lesions which develop in the course of this disease. An inhibition of platelet aggregation such as has recently been obse3rved in vitro under the influence of beta-cytotropic sulphonylureas (tolbutamide, glicalazide), must therefore be regarded as an additional, desired quality of action of these agents. 6.2. In an attempt to throw more light on this subject studies were conducted to discover whether an inhibition of platelet aggregation can be regarded as a basic property of all beta-cytotropic antidiabetic agents and whether dissociation exists between this property and the hypoglycemic effect. The possible existence of evidence for identical or similar sites of action of sulphonylureas on the control system of the thrombocytes, beta-cells and the liver was also investigated, the main point of interest being whether sulphonylurea derivatives exert their effects via the adenylate cyclase -cAMP-system. The thrombocytes were also used to discover whteher ss-cytotropic antidiabetic agents, such as non-steroidal antiphlogistic compounds, inhibit the synthesis of aggregation-promoting prostaglandins (PGE2). 6.3. The influence on adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced thrombocyte aggregation has been dtudied in vitro with platelet rich rat plasma (PRP) using a turbidimetric method. Preliminary studies have also been conducted with PRP obtained after previous treatment of the donor animals...
