title: Effect of TEI-4120 (3-benzoyl-N-beta-ethoxyisopropyl-2-methlindole) on carrageenan induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in rats.
abstract: In order to evaluate TEI-4120 (3-benzoyl-N-beta-ethoxyisopropyl-2-methylindole), as a possible therapheutic compound to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), DIC model in rats was induced by the treatment of lambda-carrageenan according to the method of Sugiyama et al. with minor modification. Two hours after intraperitoneal injection of lambda-carrageenan, plasma fibrinogen decreased and platelet count, prothrombin time, serial thrombin time and plasma TXB2 prolonged or increased. By use of this model, the activities of TEI-4120, new antithrombotic compound, was evaluated compared with three other compounds, aspirin, warfarin and heparin. As a result, TEI-4120 is effective in this model. Combination therapy of TEI-4120 and warfarin is more effective than single administration of TEI-4120. The effect of combination therapy of TEI-4120 and warfarin is consistent with that of heparin. The above result suggests that TEI-4120 seems to be a promising compound to the therapy of DIC.
