A series of mesoionic xanthines (e.g. mesoionic thiazolopyrimidines, 3, and thiadiazolopyrimidines, 5) and related analogues were examined as inhibitors of human platelet aggregation. Appropriately substituted compounds were found to fully inhibit platelet aggregation, and anhydro-(6-ethyl-8-isopentyl-7-oxo-5-hydroxy-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinium hydroxide) (5b) was 40 times more potent than the structurally related xanthine theophylline (1). Gel filtration studies suggest that compound 5b irreversibly inhibits aggregation and this might be due to its ability to act as a latent acylation agent. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
