Cilostazol(6-[4-(1-cyclohexyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-butoxy]-3,4- dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone) selectively inhibits cGMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE3) and is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation induced by various agonists. Effect of cilostazol on shear stress-induced human platelet aggregation (SIPA) was examined in vitro and ex vivo. Cilostazol inhibited SIPA dose-dependently in vitro. The IC50 value of cilostazol for inhibition of SIPA was 15 +/- 2.6 microM (m +/- SE, n=5), which was very similar to that (12.5 +/- 2.1 microM) for inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Cilostazol potentiates the inhibition of SIPA by PGE1 and enhances its ability to increase cAMP concentrations. A single oral adminstration of 100 mg cilostazol to healthy volunteers produced a significant inhibition of SIPA. This study demonstrates that cilostazol is an effective inhibitor of SIPA, which may be important for the prevention and the treatment of arterial occlusive diseases.
