Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) plays a pivotal role in platelet activation and is involved in the development of thrombosis. Thromboxane synthase inhibitors suppress TXA2 formation and increase the synthesis of the antiaggregatory prostaglandins PGI2 and PGD2; however, accumulated PGH2 may interact

The prostaglandin endoperoxide PGH2, HHT, HETE, thromboxane A2, and thromboxane B2, which are all products of arachidonic acid metabolism of human platelets, were tested for their ability to modulate platelet cyclic nucleotide levels. None of the compounds tested altered the

The formation of the proischemic and prothrombotic thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and of its functional antagonist prostacyclin is increased in patients with unstable angina and myocardial infarction. Therefore, pharmacological interventions aim at an inhibition of the synthesis or action of TXA2
