RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Unlike currently approved adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonists, the new diadenosine tetraphosphate derivative GLS-409 targets not only P2Y12 but also the second human platelet adenosine diphosphate receptor P2Y1 and may, therefore, be a promising antiplatelet drug candidate. The current study is the first to investigate the in vivo antithrombotic effects of GLS-409. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We studied (1) the in vivo effects of GLS-409 on agonist-stimulated platelet aggregation in anesthetized rats, (2) the antithrombotic activity of GLS-409 and the associated effect on the bleeding time in a canine model of platelet-mediated coronary artery thrombosis, and (3) the inhibition of agonist-stimulated platelet aggregation by GLS-409 versus selective P2Y1 and P2Y12 inhibition in vitro in samples from healthy human subjects before and 2 hours after aspirin intake. In vivo treatment with GLS-409 significantly inhibited adenosine diphosphate- and collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation in rats. Further, GLS-409 attenuated cyclic flow variation, that is, platelet-mediated thrombosis, in vivo in our canine model of unstable angina. The improvement in coronary patency was accompanied by a nonsignificant 30% increase in bleeding time. Of note, GLS-409 exerted its effects without affecting rat and canine hemodynamics. Finally, in vitro treatment with GLS-409 showed effects similar to that of cangrelor and the combination of cangrelor with the selective P2Y1 inhibitor MRS 2179 on agonist-stimulated platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma and whole blood before and 2 hours after aspirin intake. CONCLUSIONS: Synergistic inhibition of both P2Y1 and P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate receptors by GLS-409 immediately attenuates platelet-mediated thrombosis and effectively blocks agonist-stimulated platelet aggregation irrespective of concomitant aspirin therapy.

P(1),P(2)-Diimidazolyl derivatives of pyrophosphate and halomethylene-bis-phosphonates have been synthesized and characterized, and the mechanism of their formation was studied. These reagents enable synthesis of dinucleoside tetraphosphates and tetraphosphonates conveniently and in high yields.

RESUMO
Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) P2Y12 receptor antagonist reduces ischemic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Previous evidence from our group, obtained in a preclinical model of recurrent platelet-mediated thrombosis, demonstrated that GLS-409, a diadenosine tetraphosphate derivative that inhibits both P2Y1 and P2Y12 ADP receptors, may be a novel and promising antiplatelet drug candidate. However, the salutary antiplatelet effects of GLS-409 were accompanied by a trend toward an unfavorable increase in bleeding. The goals of this study were to: 1) provide proof-of-concept that the efficacy of GLS-409 may be maintained at lower dose(s), not accompanied by an increased propensity to bleeding; and 2) establish the extent and kinetics of the reversibility of human platelet inhibition by the agent. Lower doses of GLS-409 were identified that inhibited in vivo recurrent coronary thrombosis with no increase in bleeding time. Human platelet inhibition by GLS-409 was reversible, with rapid recovery of platelet reactivity to ADP, as measured by platelet surface activated GPIIb-IIIa and platelet surface P-selectin. These data support the concept that GLS-409 warrants further, larger-scale investigation as a novel, potential therapy in acute coronary syndromes.

Currently approved platelet adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonists target only the platelet P2Y12 receptor. Moreover, especially in patients with acute coronary syndromes, there is a strong need for rapidly acting and reversible antiplatelet agents in order to minimize the risk of thrombotic events and bleeding complications. In this study, a series of new P(1),P(4)-di(adenosine-5') tetraphosphate (Ap4A) derivatives with modifications in the base and in the tetraphosphate chain were synthesized and evaluated with respect to their effects on platelet aggregation and function of the platelet P2Y1, P2Y12, and P2X1 receptors. The resulting structure-activity relationships were used to design Ap4A analogs which inhibit human platelet aggregation by simultaneously antagonizing both P2Y1 and P2Y12 platelet receptors. Unlike Ap4A, the analogs do not activate platelet P2X1 receptors. Furthermore, the new compounds exhibit fast onset and offset of action and are significantly more stable than Ap4A to degradation in plasma, thus presenting a new promising class of antiplatelet agents.
