1
Platelets use Oxygen to form Lipid Regulators while
Endothelial cells form NO
A) Platelet function:
i. Blood clotting and stroke (anticoagulant drugs)
ii. Prostaglandin and thromboxane formation from
polyunsaturated fatty acids
iii. Nutritional approach to prevent heart disease
iv. COX Inhibitors (NSAIDs) (antiplatelet drugs)
B) Endothelial cell functions: Prostacyclin and plasminogen
activator formation
Role of endothelial cells in regulating blood pressure:
- Angiotensin and EDRF
Nitric oxide formation, signaling and toxicity:
- Use of Nitric Oxide generators: (vasodilator /
antihypertensive drugs)

Platelets
t1/2 = 4 days
Fragments of Megakaryocytes of bone marrow
Contain: glycogen granules
Mitochondria
Lysosomes
No nucleus, DNA, protein synthesis.
1) dense granules – ADP, ATP, serotonin (5HT)
2) a granules contain clotting factors and PDGF
(platelet derived growth factor)
80% ATP from glycolysis and 20% from mitochondria
3
Platelet Function is to plug blood leaks (blood clotting)
Activated by collagen (damaged vascular surface) or thrombin
which binds to receptors. Platelet disc shape changes to sphere i.e.
swell, form pseudopods, become sticky and attach to collagen
Resting platelets

INTRINSIC PATHWAY
Modified from Fig. 10.37, Stryer
(5th ed).
A fibrin clot (blood clot) is formed
by the interplay of the intrinsic,
extrinsic, and final common
pathways.
Intrinsic pathway:
• initiated when factor XII is
activated by contact with abnormal
surfaces due to injury.
Extrinsic pathway:
• triggered by trauma, which
activates factor VII which releases
tissue factor.

• Vitamin K is essential for prothrombin synthesis (and other clotting
factors).
• Abnormal prothrombin is formed (does not bind Ca2+) in the absence
of Vit. K or in the presence of Vit. K antagonists (see below).

Drug induced thrombocytopenia
• Life threatening platelet depletion caused by drug or
heparin induced antibodies which bind to platelet
factor 4 complex. This is not associated with
immune memory.
• Hemorrhage, bruising, brain, nose bleeds, stools
• Drugs heparin, quinine, antimicrobials, NSAIDs,
penicillin, ranitidine, furosemide
Platelets Repair Broken Blood Vessel
a. Platelets secrete platelet derived growth factor (PDGF): a growth
factor migration and division
of vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts
REPAIR OF DAMAGED VASCULAR WALLS
b. MEMBRANE ACTIN AND MYOSIN CONTRACT platelet
attached to fibrin are retracted  CLOT RETRACTS edges of
broken blood vessel are pulled together
c. Platelets collected and stored for use in surgeries , transplants and
cancer therapy to stop bleeding.

Antiplatelet drugs
Cyclooxygenase (COX) and COX inhibitors (NSAIDs)
COX-1 (ALL CELLS)
COX-2 (INFLAMMATORY CELLS)
Physiological Function – all cells
- PG’s cytoprotective (stomach, kidney)
- TXA platelet (clotting function)
Inflammatory cells (also brain)
- mediate inflammation and pain
- inducible by cytokines, mitogens,
endotoxins (contributes to rheumatoid
arthritis)
- promote colon cancer by preventing
apoptosis
- causes premature labour
Inhibitors
- aspirin, NSAIDS, antithrombosis drugs
but cause gastric/renal lesions
Inhibitors
- selective NSAIDS e.g. nimesulide
- chemoprevention/colon cancer
- antipyretic (knockout mice – infertile
females, no intestinal polyps)
Colon cancer prevented by low daily
doses of aspirin or COX inhib.
16
• Aspirin inhibits COXI which catalyse the peroxidase
activation of environmental arylamines to human
carcinogens e.g. benzidine,naphthylamine.
Azoxymethane rodent colon carcinogen.
• COX2 activity & extracellular matrix
metalloproteinases is induced by inflammation or
colorectal cancer (CRC).
• Inhibitors of these enzymes decrease CRC
metastasis Diseases Colon Rectum 51,342-347(2008)
NSAIDS
COX-1 inhibitors bind COX enzyme (prevents PGE formation)
GI toxicity as PGE protects intestinal mucosa
1) Aspirin - irreversible
- acetylates Ser 530, prevents arachidonic acid binding
2) Mefenamate, Ibuprofen - reversible, competitive with fatty acid
binding .
3) Flurbiprofen - slow binding (salt bridge) competitive inhibition by
binding in the hydrophobic channel
4) Indomethacin - non-selective
- binds deepest in hydrophobic channel
(incr. risk of hypertension, congestive heart failure unlike Celecoxib)
COX-2 inhibitors on the market – much less GI toxicity
4) Celecoxib (celebrex). Vioxx withdrawn

Nitric oxide formation, signaling
and toxicity
Function of Endothelial cells (line vessel walls)

1) Angiotensin converting enzyme (inhibited by specific dipeptides) used
to lower blood pressure. Captopril*25-50mg (but agranulocytosis
risk, cough), Enalapril*1-20 mg. Ramipril 2.5-20 mg (10mg also for
preventing cardiovascular/stroke in diabetics.

2) ATPase and 5’-nucleotidase degrade ATP and ADP
3) Inactivate prostaglandins E and F and leukotrienes C4 and D4
Intracellular endothelial cell activity
4) Monoamine oxidase
 plasma norepinephrine or serotonin
5) Thromboplastin synthesis and secretion (activated state) initiate blood
clotting (extrinsic pathway)
6) Synthesis and secrete plasminogen activators (resting state) initiates
clot fibrinolysis

A) Prescription drug (except 1960-1969)
In glass ampules enclosed in mesh - crushed in the fingers =
popping sound. “Poppers” - inhaled to relieve angina.
B) Recreational inhalant (“locker room”) - Butyl nitrite aphrodisiac –
used for enhancing sexual pleasure as nitrite induces vasodilation of
the rectal mucosal muscles.

C) Cyanide antidote - nitrite oxidises oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin (Poison control centre) and then Fe3+ of methemoglobin
complexes cyanide.
