Abstract

Although the biological significance of the PGDs was not fully appreciated at first: particularly PGD, is a potent inhibitor of human platelet aggregation (about 10 times as active as PGE1). 5@ We report herein the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of PGD analogues designed to determine what portions of the PGD structure are the most critical for the observed antiaggregatory activity. Chemistry. Of the several PGD syntheses a~ ailable,~~ ...
