Synthesis and biological activities of arachidonic and alpha- and beta-alkyl-substituted arachidonic acid derivatives.
In the male retired breeder rat, arachidonic acid 1a and 2,2-dimethylarachidonic acid 3a exhibited plasma platelet disaggregation as measured after 3 hr after the compounds were administered intragastrically at 15 and 13 mg/kg/rat mean effective dose (MED), respectively. The corresponding p-t-butylphenol ester of the acids showed a remarkable potentiation of platelet disaggregation. The MED for p-t-butylphenol ester of AA was 1.1 mg/kg/rat.
