    • Abstract:
      We investigated the effect of a new PAF antagonist pinusolide, isolated from the leaves of Biota orientalis, on PAF-induced [3H]serotinin release from rabbit platelets, hypotension and vascular permeability. Pinusolide (IC50, about 5 x 10(-6) M) inhibited specifically [3H]serotinin release from rabbit platelets when stimulated with PAF (5 x 10(-8) M), but showed no effect when induced by ADP, collagen, and thrombin. It also inhibited PAF-induced hypotension in a dose-dependent manner in rats with no effect on the hypotension induced by acetylcholine, histamine and serotonin. The inhibitory effect of pinusolide on the PAF-induced vascular permeability is less specific than the induced hypotension. These results suggest that pinusolide may prove of therapeutic value in the treatment of hypotension and a molecular design of pinusolide analogues may provide the possibility of a new PAF specific antagonists.
