Curcumin is a natural polyphenol derived from the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa) which exhibits numerous beneficial effects on different cell types. Inhibition of platelet activation by curcumin is well known, however molecular mechanisms of its action on platelets are not fully defined. In this study, we used laser diffraction method for analysis of platelet aggregation and Western blot for analysis of intracellular signaling mechanisms of curcumin effects on platelets. We identified two new molecular mechanisms involved in the inhibitory effects of curcumin on platelet activation. Firstly, curcumin by activation of adenosine A receptor stimulated protein kinase A activation and phosphorylation of Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein. Secondly, we demonstrated that curcumin even at low doses, which did not inhibit platelet aggregation, potentiated inhibitory effect of ADP receptor P2Y antagonist cangrelor which partly could be explained by activation of adenosine A receptor.
