title: Octahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizines and 3,4-dihydro-beta-carbolines as new inhibitors of human platelet aggregation.
abstract: Octahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizines and 3,4-dihydro-beta-carbolines proved to be powerful inhibitors of human platelet aggregation. They exhibited IC50 values two magnitudes lower than those of the commonly used cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors and no influence upon the routine parameters of blood coagulation was observed in vitro. Some of the compounds increased the vascular production of prostacyclin.
