Description

Nicaraven is a novel free radical scavenger. Nicaraven inhibits human platelet aggregation in vitro. The maximum aggregation rate induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was significantly inhibited by nicaraven at concentration ranges of 3.50 x 10(-4) mol/L or higher in the healthy volunteer platelets. The maximum aggregation rate induced by collagen was significantly inhibited by 1.75 x 10(-3) mol/L of nicaraven. Using platelets from patients with cerebral thrombosis, the maximum aggregation rate induced by ADP was significantly inhibited by 1.75 x 10(-3) mol/L of nicaraven. Furthermore, the maximum aggregation rate induced by collagen were significantly reduced by 1.75 x 10(-3) mol/L of nicaraven. Nicaraven induces dose-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation in both healthy volunteers and patients with cerebral thrombosis.
