The stable prostacyclin (PGI2) analogue, iloprost, is a potent inhibitor of both tumor cell-induced platelet aggregation and of experimental metastasis in mice. To explore possible mechanisms of antimetastatic effect of iloprost, we measured the effect of this drug on both platelet aggregation and immunocompetence in the mouse. Iloprost (4 x 10(-8) M) inhibited platelet aggregation as induced by a mixture of collagen and epinephrine for at least 180 minutes of incubation, and completely… CONTINUE READING
