Defibrotide, (D) an antithrombotic agent, when administered i.v. to cholesterol-fed rabbits decreased cholesterol in the aorta without changing total plasma cholesterol, triglyceride or phospholipid, nor the cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid and protein of plasma lipoproteins. Platelet aggregation was decreased in rabbits treated with D. There were fewer vascular lesions in the hearts and kidneys of animals treated with D than in animals fed cholesterol and treated with placebo. These data suggest that the antithrombotic activity of D and its ability to reduce platelet sensitivity could help to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the cardiovascular system in atherosclerosis-prone situations.
