Effect of AD6 (8-monochloro-3-beta-diethylamino-ethyl-4-methyl-7-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy coumarin) on cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in human platelets

Abstract
The effect of AD6 (8-monochloro-3-beta-diethylamino-ethyl-4-methyl-7-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy coumarin), an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, on cyclic nucleotide metabolism was investigated. AD6 inhibited selectively human platelet cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase, which was separated from cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Addition of AD6 to washed platelets increased cyclic GMP levels significantly in two minutes. These results could be useful in elucidating the action of AD6 on intact platelets.
