New hybrid furoxan structures with antiaggregant activity

A series of functionalized furoxans was synthesized, and their effect on the platelet aggregation was estimated using a set of inducers. New hybrid structures comprising the furoxan ring and glycolic or acetylsalicylic acid motifs effectively inhibit aggregate formation induced by adenosine diphosphate and adrenaline. Studies of their NO-donor ability showed that their antiplatelet effects were mainly independent of the NO action.
