title: Inhibition of PAF-induced human platelet responses by newly synthesized ether phospholipids.
abstract: A series of 10 analogues of platelet-activating factor (PAF) was evaluated for proaggregatory and inhibitory behaviour on human blood platelets in vitro. Most of the compounds did not activate platelets but inhibited the PAF-induced aggregation. The inhibition was concentration-dependent and selective for PAF. Platelet responses to ADP and collagen were not suppressed. Schild analysis of the aggregation data was consistent with a simple competitive antagonism. The pA2 of the most effective antagonist (1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-ethylglycero-3-phosphoric acid-6'-(1-chinuclidinium)-hexylester) was 5.96. There is also evidence for its ability to inhibit the high affinity binding of [3H]PAF to the platelet receptors.
