title: Beneficial effects of combined thromboxane synthase inhibition/receptor blockade with CGS 22652 in a canine model of coronary thrombosis.
abstract: Various antiplatelet agents were examined for their effectiveness as adjuncts to thrombolytic therapy in a canine model of thrombin-induced coronary thrombosis. Aspirin (5 mg/kg i.v. bolus), CGS 15435A (thromboxane synthase inhibitor (TxSI), 0.1 mg/kg i.v. bolus +0.04 mg/kg per h) and BM 13.505 (thromboxane receptor antagonist (TxRA), 0.5 mg/kg i.v. bolus +0.2 mg/kg per h) administered concurrently with streptokinase (750,000 units/h) were examined for their effects on reperfusion and reocclusion, as were a combination therapy with CGS 15435A + BM 13.505 or the dual TxRA/TxSI inhibitor, CGS 22652 (1 mg/kg i.v. bolus +0.4 mg/kg per h). All dogs received heparin (150 U/kg bolus + 50 U/kg per h) throughout the experimental protocol. Survival analysis at reperfusion indicated that thrombolysis was significantly improved in dogs treated with CGS 15435A, BM 13.505, CGS 15435A+BM 13.505 or CGS 22652 over that of vehicle-treated animals. Both dual inhibitor groups and the BM 13.505 group were significantly different from aspirin. Aspirin-treated dogs were not different from vehicle. Otherwise, all treatments differed from the vehicle-treated group at reocclusion. Time and incidence of reocclusion for CGS 22652 was significantly improved over that of BM 13.505. Residual thrombus weight was significantly reduced in the CGS 22652-treated and BM 13.505 + CGS 15435A-treated animals. These findings demonstrate that streptokinase-induced thrombolysis is accompanied by TxA2/prostaglandin H2 synthesis and platelet activation and suggest a role for platelet activation during reocclusion following clot lysis. These studies also show it is possible to combine the beneficial effects of both a TxRA and TxSI into a single chemical entity, CGS 22652, which, when administered as adjunctive therapy to streptokinase, results in an apparent synergistic antithrombotic effect.
