Abstract

The action of orciprenaline, tolazoline, propanolol and inpea on platelet aggregation induced by ADP epinephrine and norepinephrine was studied in vitro in human platelet-rich plasma. Orciprenaline did not significantly affect aggregation induced by ADP. Tolazoline inhibits the aggregation induced by epinephrine and norepinephrine more intensely than the beta-blockers. Inpea blocks the platelet aggregation induced by epinephrine and norepinephrine to a greater extent than propanolol at similar concentrations. The beta-blockers inhibit platelet aggregation non-specifically.
