摘要:
Disclosed are methods for inducing polyploidization of megakaryocyte cells and for promoting differentiation of megakaryocyte cells into platelet-producing cells. The methods may be utilized for treating blood and bone marrow diseases and disorders in a subject in need thereof and for identifying agents for treating blood and bone marrow diseases and disorders.

A method for inhibiting platelet aggregation in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal a safe and therapeutically effective amount of a GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a safe and therapeutically effective amount of low molecular weight heparin. A method for inhibiting platelet aggregation in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal a safe and therapeutically effective amount of (2-S-(n-butylsulfonylamino)-3[4-(piperidin-4-yl)butyloxyphenyl]-propionic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a safe and therapeutically effective amount of low molecular weight heparin.

The present invention is a method for diagnosing a patient at risk to thrombocytopenia induced by administration of a GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist, which comprises combining i) a plasma sample of the patient; ii) detectable monoclonal antibody which recognizes induced binding sites formed on the GP IIb/IIIa receptor following association of a fibrinogen receptor antagonist with the GP IIb/IIIa receptor; and iii) GP IIb/IIIa receptor:GP IIb/III receptor antagonist complex, and determining association of the detectable monoclonal antibody with the complex in the presence of the plasma.

The invention is directed to a series of novel compounds, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is C.sub.0-6 alkyl substituted with R.sup.5 or a mono or polycyclic aromatic or heteroaromatic system comprised of 5 or 6-membered aromatic or heteroaromatic rings that are either unsubstituted or substituted with one or more of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 ; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently C.sub.1-6 alkyl, carboxyl, hydroxyl, azido, nitro, amino, C.sub.1-6 alkylamino, C.sub.1-6 dialkylamino, arylamino, aryl C.sub.1-6 alkylamino, hydroxysulfonyl or arylazo; aryl is a phenyl or naphthyl ring which is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 ; R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently C.sub.1-6 alkyl, azido, nitro, amino, C.sub.1-6 dialkylamino or hydroxysulfonyl; R.sup.5 is ##STR2## provided that when R is an unsubstituted monocyclic ring, the monocyclic ring is not phenyl or pyridyl. Such compounds are useful as fluorescent probes for identifying antiplatelet agents which selectively bind to activated platelets.
摘要:
Non-human transgenic animals, such as transgenic mice, are generated which incorporate the a non-native form of the bradykinin B1 receptor gene against a null phenotype for the native form of the bradykinin B1 receptor. An exemplified portion of the invention disclosed a transgenic mouse wherein a targeting construct containing a transgene encoding the human B1 bradykinin receptor gene is inserted downstream of and operatively linked to the native mice bradykinin B1 promoter. This targeting construct also contains a fluxed neomycin resistance gene. The resulting transgenic animals are “humanized” for the bradykinin B1 receptor and are effectively on a null background for native, functional B1 receptor activity. These animals may be crossed with a Cre-deleter strain to generate transgenic offspring which absent of the floxed marker gene. The transgenic animals described herein provide for a model to The transgenic mice of the present invention provide for an animal model enabling the analysis of compounds that are selective for the human B1 bradykinin receptor, relative to the rodent (e.g., rat or mouse) B1 bradykinin receptor.

The instant invention involves a combination therapy and pharmaceutical compositions comprised of a therapeutically effective amount of a cholesterol reducing agent such as an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor in combination with a platelet aggregation inhibitor which is useful for inhibiting platelet aggregation, for inhibiting the formation of thrombotic occlusions, and for treating, preventing and reducing the risk of occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and related vaso-occlusive disorders.
摘要:
The present invention is a method for identifying a patient at risk to developing fibrinogen receptor antagonist-induced thrombocytopenia which comprises incubating patient plasma with a GPIIb/IIIa receptor:GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist complex to form a GPIIb/IIIa receptor:GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist:plasma antibody complex, incubating the GPIIb/IIIa receptor:GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist:plasma antibody complex with a secondary anti-human detectable antibody to form a GPIIb/IIIa receptor:GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist:plasma antibody:secondary anti-human detectable antibody complex, and detecting the presence of the secondary anti-human detectable antibody in the GPIIb/IIIa receptor:GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist:plasma antibody:secondary anti-human detectable antibody complex.
