摘要
The interaction between dipyridamole and nitric oxide (NO) was studied using isolated rabbit platelets and segments of the rabbit aorta. Dipyridamole potentiated the anti-aggregating activity of authentic NO when platelet aggregation was induced by the thromboxane A2 mimetic U-46619 or adenosine diphosphate (ADP). This potentiation was also seen when washed rabbit platelets were exposed to aortic effluent containing endothelium-derived NO. In the thoracic aorta dipyridamole hardly influenced the endothelium-dependent relaxations induced by acetylcholine. However, dipyridamole clearly enhanced the dilatation caused by exogenous NO from four different sources, including endothelial cells.
