Chemical Name:1,4-Dihydro-2,4,6-trimethyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic
acid methyl 2-(phenylthio)ethyl ester
Biological Activity:
A specific PAF antagonist, more
potent than the ginkolide BN-52021. Inhibits rabbit platelet aggregation with
an IC50 value of 1.05 μM
and has no significant activity on Ca2+ channels. Active in vivo,
antagonising PAF-induced systemic hypotension and protein-plasma extravasation
in rats.
