Platelet Aggregates Form Under Flow on Subendothelial Matrix Flow Blood Sample (anticoagulated) Formation of Platelet Aggregates Müller et al. (1990) Br J Clin Pharmac.
Inhibition of the Growthof All Aggregates 80 N = 24 N = 23 60 Relative Reduction in Mean Area of ALL Thrombi (%) 40 N = 22 20 N = 23 0 Placebo ER-DP 400 mg/d ASA 50 mg/d ASA/ER-DP 50 mg + 400 mg/d Müller et al. (1990) Br J Clin Pharmac.
Inhibition of the Growthof Very Large Aggregates 4 3 Reduction ofVERY LARGE Thrombi 2 1 0 Placebo ASA/ER-DP50 mg + 400 mg/d ER-DP400 mg/d ASA50 mg/d Müller et al. (1990) Br J Clin Pharmac.
ASA Irreversibly Inhibits Cyclooxygenase TxA2 AA X AA 40 mg ASA/d in stroke patients Weksler B et al. (1985) Stroke. 16:1–9.
ASA Inhibits Only a Single of Multiple Pathways TxA2 Collagen Thrombin Shear Adrenaline PAF X ADP ? Platelet Activation Aggregation
ADP is Degraded to Adenosine ADP Adenosine
DP Inhibits the Adenosine UptakeIC50 = 0.25 µg/mL Human Plasma Platelet Inhibition X ADP Adenosine
Extended Release Dipyridamole 2.5 2.0 DP Plasma Conc. (µg/mL) 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 4 8 12 Time (hours)
Summary and Conclusions • Dipyridamole and ASA inhibit platelet aggregation by independent mechanisms • Doses and formulations • No evidence for pharmacokinetic interaction
Summary and Conclusions • Dipyridamole and ASA inhibit platelet aggregation by independent mechanisms • Doses and formulations optimized • No evidence for pharmacokinetic interaction • Combining ASA with DP in AGGRENOXTM • Additive inhibition of platelet thrombus formation
