Effect of Compound Sbt-828, a New Indole Derivative Exhibiting Antiaggregant Activity, on the Prostacyclin--Thromboxane A^sub 2^ Balance

We investigated the effect of a new indole derivative Sbt-828 with antiaggregant properties on prostacyclin-generating activity of the vascular wall and thromboxane A2 level in platelets of intact rats. The substance under study did not affect prostacyclin production by the vascular wall and significantly reduced thromboxane A2 level, being superior to the reference drug acetylsalicylic acid by 1.6 times, as seen from reduced malonic dialdehyde level in the thrombin-induced rat platelets.
