Effect of Iloprost (ZK 36 374), a novel prostacyclin analogue, on ADP-induced platelet aggregation.
The effect of Iloprost (ZK 36 374), a chemically stable carboprostacyclin derivative, on ADP-induced platelet aggregation was investigated using platelet-rich plasma obtained from healthy male volunteers. It was shown that Iloprost in a dose-dependent fashion powerfully inhibits both the primary and secondary wave of ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Similarly, Iloprost immediately and most effectively disaggregates preformed platelet aggregates.
