| Bioactivity | Ridogrel (R 68070) is an orally active combined thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor and thromboxane A2/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor blocker. Ridogrel is potent antiplatelet agent. Anti-inflammatory activities[1][2][3]. | |||||||||
| Invitro | In rats, R 68 070 (1.25 mg/kg orally, -2 h) singly prolongs tail bleeding times as much as a combination of TXA2 synthetase inhibition (dazoxiben 10 mg/kg) and TXA2/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor blockade (BM 13177 40 mg/kg). In dogs, the compound reduces coronary thrombosis induced by electrical damage (1.25 mg/kg i.v.) and prevents the evolution of occlusion/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias into ventricular fibrillation (2.5 mg/kg i.v.)[2. | |||||||||
