title: Inhibition of the effects of thrombin on guinea pig platelets by the diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor RHC 80267.
abstract: Phospholipase C (PLC) and diacylglycerol lipase (DGL) activities were found in guinea pig platelet microsome preparations. No phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity was detected. RHC 80267 (1,6-di (0-(carbamoyl) cyclohexanone oxime)hexane) inhibited DGL activity (IC50 = 4 uM) from guinea pig platelet microsomes but had no effect on PLC. RHC 80267 inhibited platelet aggregation (IC50 = 11 uM), release of arachidonic acid (AA), its metabolites, and ATP (IC50 = 4.5 uM) when guinea pig platelets were challenged with a low concentration of thrombin. We propose that PLC-DGL is an important enzymatic pathway for the release of AA in guinea pig platelets.
