Abstract
The cyclooxygenase products of rabbit platelets stimulated with arachidonic acid were measured by HPLC. Prostaglandins and thromboxane were extracted, derivatized with 9-anthryldiazomethane, and then loaded on an ODS-column. The fluorescence of the eluate was monitored. Thromboxane B2 was a major product, which returned to the control level in the presence of indomethacin or the thromboxane synthetase inhibitor OKY-046. Pretreatment with OKY-046 shifted the cyclooxygenase products to increased levels of PGE2, PGD2 and PGF2.alpha.
