Disease relevance of NSC83441

  • We also evidenced that the hemoconcentration, thrombocytopenia, and leucocytosis noted after i.v. PAF were all attenuated by yangambin [1].
  • The protective effects of a new, selective, plant-derived platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, yangambin, on the cardiovascular alterations and mortality due to endotoxic shock were investigated in anaesthetized rats [2].
  • In addition, yangambin also suppressed the pleural neutrophil infiltration triggered by LTB4 as well as the blood thrombocytopenia and intestinal anaphylaxis elicited by antigen in rats [1].

Biological context of NSC83441

  • Moreover, yangambin at 10(-5) M did not inhibit the platelet aggregation induced by ADP (5 x 10(-7) M), collagen (0.1 microgram ml-1), or thrombin (0.05 U ml-1) [6].
  • Both unlabelled PAF and yangambin competitively displaced [3H]-PAF binding with an IC50 of 1.54 +/- 0.37 nM and 1.93 +/- 0.53 microM, respectively [6].
  • The incubation of rabbit blood neutrophils with yangambin at 10(-5) M did not prevent PAF-induced in vitro chemotaxis in conditions where the PAF antagonist SR 27417 at 10(-5) M abolished the phenomenon [6].
  • Yangambin, a new naturally-occurring platelet activating receptor (PAF) receptor antagonist competitively displaced [3H]-PAF from its high affinity binding sites on washed human platelets with a Ki value of 1.1 +/- 0.3 microM (n = 3) [7].
