2-[3-[2-(4,5-diphenyl-2-oxazolyl) ethyl] phenoxy] acetic acid (BMY 42393): 2). Oral activity and efficacy in animal models of arterial thrombosis.
The oral activity and antithrombotic efficacy of BMY 42393 was examined in ex vivo platelet aggregation studies and arterial thrombosis animal models. In a heterologous ex vivo platelet aggregation assay, ADP-induced human platelet aggregation was inhibited when washed human platelets were combined with rat platelet-poor plasma, taken from rats previously orally-dosed with BMY 42393. The IC50 for platelet aggregation inhibition was approximately 10 mg/kg. In a laser-induced thrombosis model, thrombus formation in a revascularized rabbit ear chamber was prevented in a dose-dependent fashion with an ED50 of about 2 mg/kg. A relatively long duration of anti-thrombotic activity was observed in the rabbit ear laser-induced thrombus study and the ex vivo platelet studies. Inhibition of thrombus formation was also demonstrated in a canine model of electrically-induced coronary artery thrombosis. BMY 42393 also prevented cyclic flow reductions in a monkey stenotic renal artery model. These studies indicate that BMY 42393 is orally active and capable of preventing laser and electric current-induced thrombus formation in animal models of arterial thrombosis.
