The in vitro effect of trichosanic acid (TCA; C18:3, omega-5), a major component of Trichosanthes japonica, on platelet aggregation and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in human platelets was studied. TCA dose-dependently suppressed platelet aggregation of platelet rich plasma and washed platelets. TCA decreased collagen (50 micrograms/ml)-stimulated production of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 12-hydroxyhepta-decatrienoic acid (HHT) in a dose-dependent manner, while that of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) was rather enhanced. The conversion of exogenously added [14C]AA to [14C]TXB2 and [14C]HHT in washed platelets was dose-dependently reduced by the addition of TCA, while that to [14C]12-HETE was increased. Similar observations were obtained when linolenic acid (LNA; C18:3, omega-3) was used. These results suggest that TCA may decrease TXA2 formation in platelets, probably due to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase pathway, and thereby reduce platelet aggregation.
研究了日本栝楼的主要成分天花酸(TCA;C18:3,ω-5)对人血小板聚集和花生四烯酸(AA)代谢的体外作用。TCA剂量依赖性地抑制富血小板血浆和洗涤血小板的血小板聚集。TCA以剂量依赖性方式降低胶原蛋白(50微克/毫升)刺激的血栓素B2(TXB2)和12-羟基十七碳三烯酸(HHT)的产生,而12-羟基二十碳四烯酸(12-HETE)的产生则略有增强。在洗涤血小板中,添加TCA可剂量依赖性地减少外源性添加的[14C]AA向[14C]TXB2和[14C]HHT的转化,而向[14C]12-HETE的转化则增加。使用亚麻酸(LNA;C18:3,ω-3)时也得到了类似的结果。这些结果表明,TCA可能通过抑制环氧化酶途径减少血小板中TXA2的形成,从而降低血小板聚集。
