Abstract
Abstract A process for inhibiting platelet aggregation by the addition of a member selected from the group consisting of a compound of the formula: <IMAGE> Formula I wherein Y is lower alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, cyclopropyl, ethinyl, -CF3, -F, -Cl, -OCH3, -OCHF3, -OCH2OCH3, -SCH3, -SCHF2, -SCH2OCH3, acetyl; R1 and R2 are H, CH3, CHF2, or taken together are =CH2 or =CF2; and X is hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a pharmacologically acceptable cation, to in vivo and in vitro platelet systems. In vitro systems include whole blood as kept in blood banks, whole blood as used in heart-lung machines, and platelet rich concentrates. In vivo systems include human or animal bodies. The process provides a means for treating hemorrhage due to thrombocytopenia which in turn is caused by irradiation, cancer chemotherapy, or immunosuppressants as well as hemophilia due to congenital defects.
