Components/ mechanism of action Human plasma, fibrinogen and thrombin, virally inactivated, hemostat, sealant. Autologous fibrinogen -t-platelet-rich plasma, hemostatic gel. Bovine collagen, bovine thrombin, plus autologous human plasma, hemostatic agent. Bovine collagen and bovine thrombin. Expands 20% which aids in hemostatic effect.

Virtually all of the above cited studies were uncontrolled and involved acute oral or intravenous ISDN/ISMN administration followed within hours by in vitro platelet activity assessment. In contrast, Sinzinger et al. showed in an uncontrolled trial that oral ISDN (100 mg daily) administered to coronary artery disease patients over four weeks inhibited ADP-induced aggregation in platelet-rich plasma in vitro and reduced the number of circulating platelet aggregates and platelet production of thromboxane... 

A comprehensive, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of infused bolus L-arg and its enantiomer (D-arg) included healthy subjects, non-insulin dependent diabetics, hypertensive subjects, and normotensives with primary hypercholesterolemia [147]. A blood-pressure drop and an acute inhibition of ADP-induced aggregation in platelet-rich plasma were observed in all subjects after L-arg administration (<5 g). Both responses to L-arg infusion closely correlated in magnitude, were weaker in noninsulin dependent diabetics and hypercholesterolemics, and declined with increasing age. Notably, D-arg did not elicit any of the L-arg effects, which were reduced by some 70% when superimposed upon ongoing, nonselective NOS inhibition with infused L-N-monomethyl-arginine (L-NMMA). Since D-arg is not a NOS substrate, and L-NMMA is a substrate-competitive NOS inhibitor, the L-arg effects observed in this study were theorized to reflect a rise in vascular NO production by eNOS. In contrast, the inhibition of platelet aggregation observed in vitro after a 5 min L-arg infusion (160 mg total dose) into healthy subjects and patients with angiographic...

Platelet attachment to subendotheliumf is determined predominantly by physical factors controlling the rate of platelet transport to the subendothelium at low shear rates (800 s ). In addition, platelet deposition was found to be highly dependent on the concentration of red cells, an effect attributed in part to the fact that red cells, by increasing the radial movement of platelets, enhance their diffusivity by several orders of magnitude compared to that theoretically predicted and experimentally measured in platelet-rich plasma.

The compounds potently inhibit factor Xa in vitro with reversible binding kinetics and are able to inhibit not only free but also prothrombinase-bound factor Xa (Ki 41 nM, 0.1 I nM, and 0,5 nM, respectively) (58-60), In contrast, no direct effect on platelet aggregation has been described (60-62), Antithrombotic activity in arterial and venous thrombosis models has been demonstrated and it has a reduced effect on hemorrhage in comparison to standard therapy (58,60,63). Factor Xa inhibitors are able to reduce the endogenous thrombin potential in platelet-poor as well as in platelet-rich plasma (64,65). Thus, thrombin generation seems to be a suitable biomarker for clinical evaluation and has been evaluated in phase I studies (66,67).

A 25-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital with a mild bleeding disorder reminiscent of chronic aspirin consumption. Her skin bleeding time was 7-9 minutes (normal is 2-5 minutes). Addition of arachidonic acid to her platelet-rich plasma failed to aggregate the platelets, and extracts of her tissue biopsy material failed to inhibit platelet aggregation by ADP. Analysis of platelet extracts by thin-layer chromatography showed normal concentrations of leukotrienes, but not of related compounds. Address the following ...
