u46619

U-46619 is an effective thromboxane A2 (TXA2) agonist and a thromboxane A2 analog (endoperoxide), capable of inducing contraction in the aortic smooth muscle (SM) of mice with a myosin light chain 9 (Myl9) gene deletion.

Cirsiumaldehyde is a compound isolated from the mature fruits of Lobelia chinensis, Cornus officinalis, and the fruits of Hippophae rhamnoides.Cirsiumaldehyde in the presence of collagen inhibited U46619-induced (1~5 uM) The inhibitory concentration of Cirsiumaldehyde on U46619-induced (1~5 uM) rat platelet aggregation in the presence of collagen was 0.8~1.0 ug/mL.

RWJ-56110 dihydrochloride is a potent, selective, peptide-mimetic inhibitor of PAR-1 activation and internalization (binding IC50=0.44 uM) and shows no effect on PAR-2, PAR-3, or PAR-4. RWJ-56110 dihydrochloride inhibits the aggregation of human platelets induced by both SFLLRN-NH2 (IC50=0.16 μM) and thrombin (IC50=0.34 μM), quite selective relative to U46619 . RWJ-56110 dihydrochloride blocks angiogenesis and blocks the formation of new vessels in vivo. RWJ-56110 dihydrochloride induces cell apoptosis[1][2]. Proteinase-activated receptors (PARs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors activated by the proteolytic cleavage of their N-terminal extracellular domain, exposing a new amino terminal sequence that functions as a tethered ligand to activate the receptors.RWJ56110 inhibits the aggregation of human platelets induced by both SFLLRN-NH2 (IC50=0.16 μM) and thrombin (IC50=0.34 μM) while being quite selective relative to collagen and the thromboxane mimetic U46619 [1].RWJ-56110 dihydrochloride is fully inhibits thrombin-induced RASMC proliferation with an IC50 value of 3.5 μM. RWJ-56110 dihydrochloride shows blockade of thrombin's action with RASMC calcium mobilization (IC50=0.12 μM), as well as with HMVEC (IC50=0.13 μM) and HASMC calcium mobilization (IC50=0.17 μM)[1].RWJ56110 (0.1-10 μM; 24-96 hours) inhibits endothelial cell growth dose-dependently, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration of RWJ56110 is approximately 10 μM[2].RWJ56110 (0.1-10 μM; 6 hours) inhibits DNA synthesis of endothelial cells in a thymidine incorporation assays. Endothelial cells are in fast-growing state (50-60% confluence), RWJ56110 inhibits cell DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner, but when cells that are in the quiescent state (100% confluent), the inhibitory effect of PAR-1 antagonists is much less pronounced[2].RWJ56110 (0.1-10 μM; pretreatment for 15 min) inhibits thrombin-induced Erk1/2 activation in a concentration-dependent manner. However, when endothelial cells are stimulated by FBS (final concentration 4%), it reduces partially the activated levels of Erk1/2[2].RWJ56110 (30 μM; 24 hours) has an inhibitory effect on endothelial cell cycle progression. It reduces the percentage of cells in the S phase, while alterations in the percentages of G1 and G2/M cells are less pronounced[2]. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Line: Endothelial cells [1].

(±)12-HEPE is produced by non-enzymatic oxidation of EPA. It contains equal amounts of 12(S)-HEPE and 12(R)-HEPE. The biological activity of (±)12-HEPE is likely mediated by one of the individual isomers, most commonly the 12(S) isomer in mammalian systems. 12-HEPE inhibits platelet aggregation with the same potency as 12-HETE, exhibiting IC50 values of 24 and 25 µM, respectively. [1] These compounds are also equipotent as inhibitors of U46619-induced contraction of rat aorta (IC50s = 8.6-8.8 µM).[2]

TPα and TPβ are two isoforms of the human TP receptor, the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates the actions of thromboxane A2 (TXA2). Although their distinct physiological functions have not been fully elucidated, TPβ is believed to be responsible for vascular endothelial growth factor-induced endothelial cell differentiation and migration whereas TPα appears to be the predominant isoform expressed in platelets. CAY10535 is a TP receptor antagonist that shows ~20-fold selectivity for TPβ (IC50 = 99 nM) relative to TPα (IC50 = 1,970 nM) in the inhibition of U46619-mediated Ca2+ mobilization. This compound exhibits relatively poor activity on platelets (IC50 = 985 nM) when inhibiting U-46619-induced platelet aggregation.

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), such as 11(12)-EET and 14(15)-EET, are cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid that have been identified as endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors with vasodilator activity. 14,15-EE-5(Z)-E is a structural analog of 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (14,15-EET) that antagonizes EET-induced relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Relaxation of U46619-constricted bovine arteries by 14,15-EET could be inhibited approximately 80% by 14,15-EE-5(Z)-E at a concentration of 10 μM. 14,15-EE-5(Z)-E does not appear to antagonize nitric oxide- or iloprost-mediated vascular relaxation.

2-Deacetoxytaxinine B is a strongly inhibitor against U46619-induced aggregation, it shows strong inhibitory effects against arachidonic acid (AA)-induced aggregation.

Sp-5,6-DCl-cBIMPS is a potent, specific activator of cAMP-dependent protein kinases (cAMP-PK) that enhances insulin release and inhibits U46619-induced activation of Rho, Gq, and G12/G13 in platelets.
