Abstract
CGP 28392, a novel compound structurally related to the dihydropyridine Ca2+-entry blockers, causes a dose-dependent increase in intracellular free Ca2+ in human platelets, as measured with the Quin-2 Ca2+ indicator, with a semimaximal effective concentration of 2.2 X 10(-7) M. This effect occurs in a concentration range in which CGP 28392 competes for specific [3H]nitrendipine binding in guinea pig heart membranes. It can be inhibited by nitrendipine. The data presented furnish direct evidence of the Ca2+-entry-stimulating properties of CGP 28392 and indicate the presence of dihydropyridine-susceptible structures in human platelets.Entities:
