Abstract
A new class of superbasic, bifunctional peptidyl guanidine catalysts is presented, which enables the organocatalytic, atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral quinazolinediones. Computational modeling unveiled the conformational modulation of the catalyst by a novel phenyl urea N-cap, that preorganizes the structure into the active, folded state. A previously unanticipated noncovalent interaction involving a difluoroacetamide acting as a hybrid mono- or bidentate hydrogen bond donor emerged as a decisive control element inducing atroposelectivity. These discoveries spurred from a scaffold-oriented project inspired from a fascinating investigational BTK inhibitor featuring two stable chiral axes and relies on a mechanistic framework that was foreign to the extant lexicon of asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
The inhibition of platelet adhesion to collagen in exposed vessels represents an innovative approach to the treatment of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. This study aimed to engineer peptide-based nanoparticles that prevent platelet binding to subendothelial collagen by engaging with collagen with high affinity. We examined the interactions between integrin α2/ glycoprotein VI/ von Willebrand factor A3 domain and collagen, as well as between the synthesized peptide nanoparticles and collagen, utilizing molecular dynamics simulations and empirical assays. Our findings indicated that the bond between von Willebrand factor and collagen was more robust. Specifically, the sequences SITTIDV, VDVMQRE, and YLTSEMH in von Willebrand factor were identified as essential for its attachment to collagen. Based on these sequences, three peptide nanoparticles were synthesized (BPa: Capric-GNNQQNYK-SITTIDV, BPb: Capric-GNNQQNYK-VDVMQRE, BPc: Capric-GNNQQNYK-YLTSEMH), each displaying significant affinity towards collagen. Of these, the BPa nanoparticles exhibited the most potent interaction with collagen, leading to a 75% reduction in platelet adhesion.

Abstract
Methods to access chiral sulfur(VI) pharmacophores are of interest in medicinal and synthetic chemistry. We report the desymmetrization of unprotected sulfonimidamides via asymmetric acylation with a cinchona-phosphinate catalyst. The desired products are formed in excellent yield and enantioselectivity with no observed bis-acylation. A data-science-driven approach to substrate scope evaluation was coupled to high throughput experimentation (HTE) to facilitate statistical modeling in order to inform mechanistic studies. Reaction kinetics, catalyst structural studies, and density functional theory (DFT) transition state analysis elucidated the turnover-limiting step to be the collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate and provided key insights into the catalyst-substrate structure-activity relationships responsible for the origin of the enantioselectivity. This study offers a reliable method for accessing enantioenriched sulfonimidamides to propel their application as pharmacophores and serves as an example of the mechanistic insight that can be gleaned from integrating data science and traditional physical organic techniques.

Abstract
A new route for the synthesis of quinazolin-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and thieno [2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones substituted by pyridyl/quinolinyl moiety in position 3 has been developed. The proposed method concluded in an annulation of substituted anthranilic esters or 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylates with 1,1-dimethyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl) ureas. The process consists of the formation of N-aryl-N'-pyridyl ureas followed by their cyclocondensation into the corresponding fused heterocycles. The reaction does not require the use of metal catalysts and proceeds with moderate to good yields (up to 89%). The scope of the method is more than 30 examples, including compounds with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, as well as diverse functionalities. At the same time, strong electron-acceptor substituents in the pyridine ring of the starting ureas reduce the product yield or even prevent the cyclocondensation step. The reaction can be easily scaled to gram quantities.

Abstract
Devices such as stents and flow diverters require the use of safe and fast antiplatelet therapy. We aimed to compare the responses to clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor by assessing the Platelet Function Analysis (PFA-100)-Innovance test results of patients undergoing endovascular stenting to determine their resistance rates. Sixty-one women and 55 men, aged 18-87 years, were included in this study. Patients were divided into three groups: clopidogrel treatment, prasugrel treatment, and ticagrelor treatment. The systemic diseases of the patients, especially hypertension and diabetes, were recorded. The test results were evaluated according to the results for the collagen/epinephrine (COL-EPI), collagen/adenosine (COL-ADP), and P2Y results. The PFA-100-Innovance results for COL-EPI and P2Y were significantly higher for patients treated with prasugrel and ticagrelor compared with patients treated with clopidogrel (COL-EPI, p = 0.001; P2Y, p = 0.001). Clopidogrel resistance was identified in 31 patients (26.7%), and prasugrel resistance was identified in 4 patients (3.4%). Ticagrelor resistance was not detected. Therefore, 30.1% of patients were classified as drug-resistant. Perioperative bleeding was not detected in any patient. Hypertension was the most common disease recorded for patients being treated for cerebral aneurysm, and diabetes was the most common disease recorded for patients who underwent peripheral artery stenting (p = 0.002). Potent antiplatelet agents, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, have a low rate of resistance but are associated with an increased bleeding risk. Thus, the choice of a suitable drug during the treatment window remains a critical factor when determining treatment strategies.

Abstract
Thrombin is a Na+-activated allosteric serine protease of the chymotrypsin family involved in coagulation, inflammation, cell protection, and apoptosis. Increasingly, the role of thrombin in the brain has been explored. Low concentrations of thrombin are neuroprotective, while high concentrations exert pathological effects. However, greater attention regarding the involvement of thrombin in normal and pathological processes in the central nervous system is warranted. In this review, we explore the mechanisms of thrombin action, localization, and functions in the central nervous system and describe the involvement of thrombin in stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage, neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and primary central nervous system tumors. We aim to comprehensively characterize the role of thrombin in neurological disease and injury.

Abstract
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a blood glycoprotein that plays an important role in platelet thrombus formation through interaction between its A1 domain and platelet glycoprotein Ib. ARC1779, an aptamer to the VWF A1 domain, was evaluated in a clinical trial for acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP). Subsequently, caplacizumab, an anti-VWF A1 domain nanobody, was approved for aTTP in Europe and the United States. We recently developed a novel DNA aptamer, TAGX-0004, to the VWF A1 domain; it contains an artificial base and demonstrates high affinity for VWF. To compare the effects of these three agents on VWF A1, their ability to inhibit ristocetin- or botrocetin-induced platelet aggregation under static conditions was analyzed, and the inhibition of thrombus formation under high shear stress was investigated in a microchip flow chamber system. In both assays, TAGX-0004 showed stronger inhibition than ARC1779, and had comparable inhibitory effects to caplacizumab. The binding sites of TAGX-0004 and ARC1779 were analyzed with surface plasmon resonance performed using alanine scanning mutagenesis of the VWF A1 domain. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that R1395 and R1399 in the A1 domain bound to both aptamers. R1287, K1362, and R1392 contributed to ARC1779 binding, and F1366 was essential for TAGX-0004 binding. Surface plasmon resonance analysis of the binding sites of caplacizumab identified five amino acids in the VWF A1 domain (K1362, R1392, R1395, R1399, and K1406). These results suggested that TAGX-0004 possessed better pharmacological properties than caplacizumab in vitro and might be similarly promising for aTTP treatment.

Role of the Platelets and Nitric Oxide Biotransformation in Ischemic Stroke: A Translative Review from Bench to Bedside. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:2979260.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke remains the fifth cause of death, as reported worldwide annually. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) manifesting with lower nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability leads to increased vascular tone, inflammation, and platelet activation and remains among the major contributors to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Moreover, temporal fluctuations in the NO bioavailability during ischemic stroke point to its key role in the cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation, and some data suggest that they may be responsible for the maintenance of CBF within the ischemic penumbra in order to reduce infarct size. Several years ago, the inhibitory role of the platelet NO production on a thrombus formation has been discovered, which initiated the era of extensive studies on the platelet-derived nitric oxide (PDNO) as a platelet negative feedback regulator. Very recently, Radziwon-Balicka et al. discovered two subpopulations of human platelets, based on the expression of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS-positive or eNOS-negative platelets, respectively). The e-NOS-negative ones fail to produce NO, which attenuates their cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway and-as result-promotes adhesion and aggregation while the e-NOS-positive ones limit thrombus formation. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a competitive NOS inhibitor, is an independent cardiovascular risk factor, and its expression alongside with the enzymes responsible for its synthesis and degradation was recently shown also in platelets. Overproduction of ADMA in this compartment may increase platelet activation and cause endothelial damage, additionally to that induced by its plasma pool. All the recent discoveries of diverse eNOS expression in platelets and its role in regulation of thrombus formation together with studies on the NOS inhibitors have opened a new chapter in translational medicine investigating the onset of acute cardiovascular events of ischemic origin. This translative review briefly summarizes the role of platelets and NO biotransformation in the pathogenesis and clinical course of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Protease activated receptors (PARs) are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that have a unique activation mechanism. Unlike other GPCRs that can be activated by free ligands, under physiological conditions, PARs are activated by the tethered ligand, which is a part of their N-terminus that is unmasked by proteolysis. It has been 30 years since the first member of the family, PAR1, was identified. In this review, we will discuss this unique tethered ligand mediate receptor activation of PARs in detail: how they interact with the proteases, the complex structural rearrangement of the receptors upon activation, and the termination of the signaling. We also summarize the structural studies of the PARs and how single nucleotide polymorphisms impact the receptor reactivity. Finally, we review the current strategies for inhibiting PAR function with therapeutic targets for anti-thrombosis. The focus of this review is PAR1 and PAR4 as they are the thrombin signal mediators on human platelets and therapeutics targets. We also include the structural studies of PAR2 as it informs the mechanism of action for PARs in general.

Abstract
Despite considerable progressions, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still one of the major causes of mortality around the world, indicates an important and unmet clinical need. Recently, extensive studies have been performed on the role of inflammatory factors as either a major or surrogate factor in the pathophysiology of CVD. Epidemiological observations suggest the theory of the role of inflammatory mediators in the development of cardiovascular events. This may support the idea that targeted anti-inflammatory therapies, on the background of traditional validated medical therapies, can play a significant role in prevention and even reduction of cardiovascular disorders. Many randomized controlled trials have shown that drugs commonly useful for primary and secondary prevention of CVD have an anti-inflammatory mechanism. Further, many anti-inflammatory drugs are being examined because of their potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems. In this study, we review the process of inflammation in the development of cardiovascular events, both in vivo and clinical evidence in immunotherapy for CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the benefit-risk ratio of aspirin for primary prevention of CVD with a particular focus on subgroups. METHODS Randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of aspirin for primary prevention of CVD versus control and including at least 1000 patients were eligible for this meta-analysis. The primary efficacy outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and net clinical benefit. The primary safety outcome was major bleeding. Subgroup analyses involving sex, concomitant statin treatment, diabetes, and smoking were performed. RESULTS Thirteen randomized controlled trials comprising 164,225 patients were included. The risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality was similar for aspirin and control groups (RR 0.98; 95% CI, 0.93-1.02; RR 0.99; 95% CI, 0.90-1.08; respectively). Aspirin reduced the relative risk (RRR) of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) by 9% (RR 0.91; 95% CI, 0.86-0.95), myocardial infarction by 14% (RR 0.86; 95% CI, 0.77-0.95), and ischemic stroke by 10% (RR 0.90; 95% CI, 0.82-0.99), but was associated with a 46% relative risk increase of major bleeding events (RR 1.46; 95% CI, 1.30-1.64) compared with controls. Aspirin use did not translate into a net clinical benefit adjusted for event-associated mortality risk (mean 0.034%; 95% CI, - 0.18 to 0.25%). There was an interaction for aspirin effect in three patient subgroups: (i) in patients under statin treatment, aspirin was associated with a 12% RRR of MACE (RR 0.88; 95% CI, 0.80-0.96), and this effect was lacking in the no-statin group; (ii) in non-smokers, aspirin was associated with a 10% RRR of MACE (RR 0.90; 95% CI, 0.82-0.99), and this effect was not present in smokers; and (iii) in males, aspirin use resulted in a 11% RRR of MACE (RR 0.89; 95% CI, 0.83-0.95), with a non-significant effect in females. CONCLUSIONS Aspirin use does not reduce all-cause or cardiovascular mortality and results in an insufficient benefit-risk ratio for CVD primary prevention. Non-smokers, patients treated with statins, and males had the greatest risk reduction of MACE across subgroups. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42019118474.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of bleeding-related adverse events after acupuncture treatment in patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. DESIGN AND SETTING A total of 428 inpatients who received acupuncture treatment underwent two assessments for bleeding-related adverse events, such as micro-bleeding, hematoma, and ecchymosis: 1) immediately after acupuncture treatment on the first day and 2) before acupuncture treatment on the following day. Additional analyses were performed using the number of acupuncture needles as independent variables. Multivariable analysis using factors likely related to bleeding and subgroup analysis according to regions of needle insertion were also performed. RESULTS A total of 169 patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (exposure group) and 259 patients not receiving either drug (non-exposure group) were studied. Sixty-five (38.5%) patients in the exposure group and 115 (44.4%) patients in the non-exposure group had bleeding-related mild adverse events. There was no difference in the risk of bleeding-related adverse events between the two groups per sessions (relative risk (RR) 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.69-1.10) and per needles (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.70-1.13). In multivariable analysis, thickness of needle only increased risk of bleeding. Subgroup analysis showed that taking these drugs did not increase the risk of bleeding in any of the regions. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs do not increase the incidence of bleeding-related adverse events after acupuncture treatment.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) is an important chaperone required for the correct folding and secretion of collagen. Several studies revealed that HSP47 has a role in numerous steps of collagen synthesis, preventing procollagen aggregation and inducing hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues. HSP47 is encoded by the SERPINH1 gene, which is located on chromosome 11q13.5, one of the most frequently amplified regions in human cancer. The altered expression levels of HSP47 have been correlated with several types of cancer, such as cervical, breast, pancreatic and gastric cancers. Studies have shown that HSP47 promotes tumor angiogenesis, growth, migration and metastatic capacity. In this review, we highlight the fundamental aspects of the interaction between HSP47 and collagen and the recent discoveries of the role of this chaperone in different types of malignant neoplasias. We also discuss recent treatments using HSP47 as a therapeutic target, and present evidences that HSP47 is an essential protein for cancer biology and a potential molecular target for chemotherapy.

Abstract
Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 inhibitors have recently become popular in the use of atherosclerosis among clinicians. Atherosclerosis can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events leading to one of the major causes of mortality worldwide. Thrombin-mediated platelets can cause atherosclerotic plaques, and these platelets are activated by thrombin through the PAR-1. Vorapaxar and atopaxar are novel antiplatelet drugs that inhibit the thrombin-induced platelet activation by antagonizing the PAR-1. The objective of this article is to review the mechanism of action of vorapaxar and atopaxar and explain the rationale for using them in atherothrombosis patients including myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Being overweight increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality. However, among high-body-weight patients with established acute coronary syndrome (ACS) this evidence is not clear. In this scenario, a low body weight (LBW) has been proposed to confer higher prognostic risk and higher bleeding risk with new P2Y12 inhibitors. AIMS We aimed to examine differences in mortality, catheterizations/revascularizations, antiplatelet therapy and ischemic/bleeding adverse events between ACS patients with LBW. METHODS This is a multicenter registry involving 1576 consecutive ACS patients (ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI, or unstable angina) from three tertiary institutions. Patients were divided into two groups: LBW (weight < 60 kg, n = 176) and non-LBW (weight ⩾ 60 kg, n = 1400). During 12 months follow-up, we recorded management (catheterizations/revascularizations), antiplatelet therapy, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), bleeding events (BARC classification), and mortality. RESULTS Catheterizations (86.4% vs. 93.4%; p = 0.001) and revascularizations (64.8% vs. 76.1%; p = 0.001) were significantly lower in the LBW group. At discharge, prescription of new P2Y12 inhibitors was also lower in LBW patients (24.4% vs. 37.8%; p = 0.001). After 12-month follow-up, the incidence of MACE (HR 1.61 (95% CI 1.03-2.50]; p = 0.038) and mortality (HR 2.18 (95% CI 1.33-3.58); p = 0.002) was higher in LBW patients compared with non-LBW. In contrast, there were no significant differences for bleeding events. CONCLUSIONS LBW in ACS patients was associated with higher incidence of MACE and mortality. In this group of patients less catheterizations and coronary revascularizations were performed. Despite there being no differences in bleeding rates, new P2Y12 inhibitors were less prescribed in LBW patients.

Abstract
Background Morphine decreases the concentrations and effects of clopidogrel, which could lead to treatment failure in myocardial infarction. Objectives To clarify whether more potent P2Y12-inhibitors may provide an effective alternative, we examined drug–drug interactions between morphine and prasugrel. Methods Twelve healthy volunteers received 60 mg prasugrel with placebo or 5 mg morphine intravenously in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial. Pharmacokinetics were determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, and prasugrel effects were measured by platelet function tests. Results Morphine neither diminished total drug exposure (AUC), which was the primary endpoint, nor significantly delayed drug absorption of prasugrel. However, morphine reduced maximal plasma concentrations (Cmax) of prasugrel active metabolite by 31 % (p = 0.019). Morphine slightly, but not significantly, delayed the onset of maximal inhibition of platelet plug formation under high shear rates (30 vs. 20 min). Whole blood aggregation was not influenced. Conclusions Although morphine significantly decreases the maximal plasma concentrations of prasugrel active metabolite, it does not diminish its effects on platelets to a clinically relevant degree in healthy volunteers. However, it should be considered that the observed decrease in Cmax of prasugrel active metabolite caused by morphine co-administration may gain relevance in STEMI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with non-reversible, indirect P2Y12 inhibitor clopidogrel, ticagrelor is a reversible, direct acting inhibitor. The CYP2C19*2 allele is a common genetic variant in individuals that need given higher clopidogrel in acute coronary syndrome patients. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess a pharmacogenetic approach of doubling dose clopidogrel compare with standard dose of ticagrelor among carriers with the CYP2C19*2 homozygotes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared ticagrelor (180 mg loading dose, 90 mg twice daily thereafter) with clopidogrel (600 mg loading dose, 150 mg daily thereafter) for the prevention of cardiovascular events in CYP2C19*2 homozygotes patients admitted to the hospital with an acute coronary syndrome, with or without ST-segment elevation. RESULTS After genetic test to identify carriers of the CYP2C19*2 allele from 2295 patients, 224 cases with CYP2C19*2 homozygotes were enrolled into our prospective, randomized trial. Patients were random assignment with colpidogrel group (n = 112) and ticagrelor group (n = 112). The two groups were similar in terms of baseline characteristics. After the first 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel, patients carrying two CYP2C19*2 allele had weaker PRU inhibition (39.8±37.4 vs 27.9±12.4; P = 0.001) and more bleeding adverse events (20.5% vs. 7.1%; hazard ratio = 2.88; 95% [CI], 1.34-6.15; P = 0.001) compared to those taking standard dose of ticagrelor. CONCLUSIONS In CYP2C19*2 carriers with ACS, ticagrlor is as effective as high clopidogrel in reducing platelet reactivity, particularly in first days. This study suggests that ticagrelor may be much better than doubling dose clopidogrel in patients with CYP2C19*2 in according to platelet reactivity monitoring. Use of ticagrelor instead of clopidogrel may eliminate the need for genetic testing and lead to less mild bleeding adverse.

Abstract
Platelet P2Y12 inhibitors form a major part of the treatment strategy for patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) due to the importance of the platelet P2Y12 receptor in mediating the pathophysiology of arterial thrombosis. It has been increasingly recognised that platelets also have a critical role in inflammation and immune responses. P2Y12 inhibitors reduce platelet release of pro-inflammatory α-granule contents and the formation of pro-inflammatory platelet-leukocyte aggregates. These are important mediators of inflammation in a variety of different contexts. Clinical evidence shows that P2Y12 inhibition by clopidogrel is associated with a reduction in platelet-related mediators of inflammation, such as soluble P-selectin and CD40L, following atherothrombosis. Clopidogrel in addition to aspirin, compared to aspirin alone, also reduces markers of systemic inflammation such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF) α and C-reactive protein (CRP) following ACS. The more potent thienopyridine P2Y12 inhibitor, prasugrel, has been shown to decrease platelet P-selectin expression and platelet-leukocyte aggregate formation compared to clopidogrel. The PLATO study suggested that the novel P2Y12 inhibitor ticagrelor might improve clinical outcomes from pulmonary infections and sepsis compared to clopidogrel in patients with ACS. Ticagrelor is a more potent P2Y12 inhibitor than clopidogrel and also inhibits cellular adenosine uptake via equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) 1, whereas clopidogrel does not. Further examination of the involvement of these mechanisms in inflammation and immunity is therefore warranted.

Abstract
Vascular dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the development of systemic complications associated with arterial hypertension and diabetes. The endothelium, or more specifically, various factors derived from endothelial cells tightly regulate vascular function, including vascular tone. In physiological conditions, there is a balance between endothelium-derived factors, that is, relaxing factors (endothelium-derived relaxing factors; EDRFs) and contracting factors (endothelium-derived contracting factors; EDCFs), which mediate vascular homeostasis. However, in disease states, such as diabetes and arterial hypertension, there is an imbalance between EDRF and EDCF, with a reduction of EDRF signalling and an increase of EDCF signalling. Among EDCFs, COX-derived vasoconstrictor prostanoids play an important role in the development of vascular dysfunction associated with hypertension and diabetes. Moreover, uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up4 A), identified as an EDCF in 2005, also modulates vascular function. However, the role of Up4 A in hypertension- and diabetes-associated vascular dysfunction is unclear. In the present review, we focused on experimental and clinical evidence that implicate these two EDCFs (vasoconstrictor prostanoids and Up4 A) in vascular dysfunction associated with hypertension and diabetes.

Abstract
Lung-targeting drugs are thought to be potential therapies of refractory lung diseases by maximizing local drug concentrations in the lung to avoid systemic circulation. However, a major limitation in developing lung-targeted drugs is the acquirement of lung-specific ligands. Pulmonary surfactant protein A (SPA) is predominantly synthesized by type II alveolar epithelial cells, and may serve as a potential lung-targeting ligand. Here, we generated recombinant rat pulmonary SPA (rSPA) as an antigen and immunized an alpaca to produce two nanobodies (the smallest naturally occurring antibodies) specific for rSPA, designated Nb6 and Nb17. To assess these nanobodies’ potential for lung targeting, we evaluated their specificity to lung tissue and toxicity in mice. Using immunohistochemistry, we demonstrated that these anti-rSPA nanobodies selectively bound to rat lungs with high affinity. Furthermore, we intravenously injected fluorescein isothiocyanate-Nb17 in nude mice and observed its preferential accumulation in the lung to other tissues, suggesting high affinity of the nanobody for the lung. Studying acute and chronic toxicity of Nb17 revealed its safety in rats without causing apparent histological alterations. Collectively, we have generated and characterized lung-specific nanobodies, which may be applicable for lung drug delivery.

Abstract
Ticagrelor (Brilique™, Brilinta®), a cyclopentyl-triazolopyrimidine, is an orally active, reversible, and selective adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonist indicated for use in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Ticagrelor has a faster onset of action and provides greater inhibition of platelet aggregation than clopidogrel. In the large well-designed, PLATO study in adult patients with ACS, 12 months' treatment with ticagrelor was more effective than clopidogrel in reducing the incidence of the primary composite endpoint of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular (CV) death. Ticagrelor also reduced all-cause mortality relative to clopidogrel, although statistical significance of this was not confirmed in hierarchical testing. Benefit with ticagrelor was seen both in invasively and noninvasively managed patients. Ticagrelor was generally well tolerated and was not associated with an increased risk of major bleeding relative to clopidogrel. However, the incidences of non-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)-related bleeding, and major or minor bleeding, as well as some non-hemorrhagic adverse events, including dyspnea (usually of mild or moderate severity) and ventricular pauses (largely asymptomatic) were higher with ticagrelor. In addition, the ATLANTIC study showed that although pre-hospital administration of ticagrelor did not improve pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) coronary reperfusion in ACS patients relative to in-hospital administration, ticagrelor was safe in both instances, with no significant between-group differences in non-CABG-related major and minor bleeding events. Although further comparative studies with other antiplatelet agents, including prasugrel, are required to position it more definitively, current evidence indicates that ticagrelor is a useful option for the prevention of thrombotic CV events in ACS patients managed invasively or noninvasively.

Personalized antiplatelet therapy with P2Y12 receptor inhibitors: benefits and pitfalls. ADVANCES IN INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY 2015; 11:259-80.

Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy with P2Y12 receptor inhibitors has become the cornerstone of medical treatment in patients with acute coronary syndrome, after percutaneous coronary intervention and in secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events. Clopidogrel used to be the most broadly prescribed P2Y12 receptor inhibitor with undisputable benefits especially in combination with aspirin, but a considerable number of clopidogrel-treated patients experience adverse thrombotic events in whom insufficient P2Y12-inhibition and a consequential high on-treatment platelet reactivity is a common finding. This clinically relevant limitation of clopidogrel has driven the increased use of new antiplatelet agents. Prasugrel (a third generation thienopyridine) and ticagrelor (a cyclopentyl-triazolo-pyrimidine) feature more potent and predictable P2Y12-inhibition compared to clopidogrel, which translates into improved ischemic outcomes. However, excessive platelet inhibition and consequential low on-treatment platelet reactivity comes at the price of increased risk of major bleeding. The majority of randomized clinical trials failed to demonstrate improved clinical outcomes with platelet function testing and tailored antiplatelet therapy, but results of all recent trials of potent antiplatelets and prolonged antiplatelet durations point towards a need for individualized antiplatelet approach in order to decrease thrombotic events without increasing bleeding. This review focuses on potential strategies for personalizing antiplatelet treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study describes the implications of the pharmacokinetics of low-dose chewable aspirin for acute coronary syndromes. Current guidelines recommend the administration of 162-325 mg aspirin chewing tablets for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Although aspirin is widely used and a cornerstone in myocardial infarction, there is no information available on the pharmacokinetics of low doses of chewable aspirin. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective trial assessed the pharmacokinetics of acetylsalicylic acid and its metabolite salicylic acid after intake of 162 mg chewable low-dose aspirin in 35 healthy volunteers. Plasma drug and metabolite levels were analysed using high-performance liquid chromatography, and corresponding pharmacodynamics were determined by impedance aggregometry. RESULTS Acetylsalicylic acid was rapidly absorbed with a mean Tmax of 27 ± 8 min. Tmax of salicylic acid was 69 ± 21 min. Mean Cmax was 1·8 ± 0·6 mg/L and 7·6 ± 1·4 for acetylsalicylic acid and salicylic acid, respectively. Arachidonic acid-induced aggregation showed maximum platelet inhibition 30 min after drug ingestion. CONCLUSIONS The characterization of the plasma-time profile fills the gap between the lack of data on pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamics and the recommendation for using low-dose chewable aspirin for acute coronary syndromes. We describe for the first time that a 162-mg dose of chewable aspirin is rapidly absorbed and achieves plasma concentrations of the active metabolite salicylic acid required to maximally inhibit platelet aggregation. However, a 162-mg dose is truly a minimum, and doubling this dose might be better for patients with myocardial infarction.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of naringin on platelet aggregation and release in hyperlipidemic rabbits, and the underlying mechanisms. The safety of naringin was also investigated. The rabbits were orally administered 60, 30 or 15 mg/kg of naringin once a day for 14 days after being fed a high fat/cholesterol diet for four weeks. Following the two weeks of drug administration, the degree of platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid, adenosine diphosphate and collagen was significantly reduced by naringin at certain doses compared with those in the rabbits of the model group (P<0.01). The levels of P-selectin and platelet factor 4 (PF4) also decreased following treatment with naringin compared with those of the model group. Certain doses of naringin significantly reduced the total cholesterol (TC) levels and elevated the ratio of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to TC compared with those in the model group, and significantly decreased the cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). No significant difference in the coagulation function was observed between the control and drug-treatment groups. These results indicate that naringin improved platelet aggregation and inhibited the excessive release of P-selectin and PF4 in hyperlipidemic rabbits. This study suggests that the antiplatelet effect of naringin may be due to its ability to regulate the levels of blood cholesterol and [Ca2+]i in platelets. Naringin also did not cause bleeding in the hyperlipidemic rabbits.

Abstract
Aptamers are short DNA/RNA oligonucleotides selected by a process known as Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) based on affinity for target molecules. Since aptamers have several advantages over monoclonal antibodies, such as high specificity and affinity, flexible modification and stability, and lack of toxicity and immunogenicity, they are promising novel diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In this review, we will describe the development of aptamers against thrombin, von Willebrand factor (vWF), factor IX, and factor XII as potential anticoagulants or antithrombotics for cardiovascular diseases, especially those that have entered clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform a systematic up-to-date review and critical discussion of potential clinical applications of cangrelor based on its pharmacologic properties and the main findings from randomized clinical studies. METHODS A database search (PubMed, CENTRAL and Google Scholar) by two independent investigators, including proceedings from scientific sessions of ACC, AHA, ESC, TCT and EuroPCR, from January 1998 through December 2013. RESULTS Cangrelor is a potent, intravenous, direct-acting P2Y12 antagonist with rapid onset and quickly reversible action. In contrast to ticagrelor, cangrelor's interaction with thienopiridines requires termination of cangrelor infusion before switching to clopidogrel or prasugrel. According to randomized trials, a cangrelor-clopidogrel combination is relatively safe and more effective than the standard clopidogrel regimen in both urgent and elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) settings, with the advantage of this drug combination fully evident when the universal definition of myocardial infarction is applied. In contrast to available antiplatelet drugs with delayed onset and offset of action, its favorable properties make cangrelor a desirable agent for ad hoc elective PCI, high risk acute coronary syndromes treated with immediate coronary stenting and for bridging those surgery patients who require periprocedural P2Y12 inhibition. Current evidence on cangrelor therapy is limited by the lack of adequately powered studies assessing cangrelor co-administration either with prasugrel or ticagrelor, suboptimal design of some of the trials favoring cangrelor, potentially attenuated benefits with modern stent design, and finally, by the lack of survival advantage. CONCLUSIONS With its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic advantages, allowing consistent and strong P2Y12 inhibition, and with its rapid onset and swift reversal of action devoid of need for an antidote, cangrelor might improve clinical outcomes in clopidogrel-treated patients by reducing ischemic events, while maintaining a favorable safety profile. However, further studies, addressing the safety and efficacy of cangrelor on top of novel oral P2Y12 inhibitors, are warranted.

Abstract
Prasugrel and ticagrelor are next-generation antiplatelet agents that provide a rapider and more potent inhibition of platelet P2Y12 receptor than clopidogrel. In combination with aspirin, these new P2Y12 inhibitors are now the first line treatments for patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, these potent antiplatelet agents introduce a new paradigm in the daily management of antithrombotic drugs, particularly when an invasive procedure is planned. The pharmacology of these antiplatelet agents, and the results of the main clinical trials, are reviewed with a special focus on good prescription practices (indications, contra-indications, drug interactions), and on peri-operative management. Strategies are proposed for safely reducing the bleeding risk in elderly patients, in patients requiring concomitant oral anticoagulant therapy, or in patients with an increased haemorrhagic risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies have shown that ticagrelor has a further adenosine-mediated mechanism of action in addition to its potent inhibition of the P2Y12 receptor, which may explain some of ticagrelor's clinical characteristics. This study aimed to further characterize the adenosine pharmacology of ticagrelor, its major metabolites, and other P2Y12 receptor antagonists. METHODS Inhibition of nucleoside transporter-mediated [(3)H]adenosine uptake by ticagrelor, its major metabolites, and alternative P2Y12 antagonists was examined in recombinant Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The pharmacology of ticagrelor and its major metabolites at adenosine A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptor subtypes was examined using in vitro radioligand binding and functional assays and ex vivo C-fiber experiments in rat and guinea pig vagus nerves. RESULTS Ticagrelor (and less effectively its metabolites) and the main cangrelor metabolite inhibited [(3)H]adenosine uptake in equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) 1-expressing MDCK cells, whereas cangrelor and the active metabolites of prasugrel or clopidogrel had no effect. No significant inhibitory activity was observed in MDCK cells expressing ENT2 or concentrative nucleoside transporters 2/3. Ticagrelor demonstrated high affinity (inhibition constant [Ki] = 41 nmol/L) for ENT1. In adenosine receptor-binding experiments, ticagrelor and its major circulating metabolite, AR-C124910XX, had low affinity (Ki > 6 µmol/L) for each of the adenosine A1, A2A, and A2B receptors, whereas ticagrelor had a submicromolar (Ki = 190 nmol/L) affinity for the adenosine A3 receptor. However, in functional assays, at high concentrations (10 µmol/L) ticagrelor only partially inhibited 3 mmol/L adenosine-induced depolarizations in the guinea pig and rat vagus nerve preparations (by 35% and 49%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Ticagrelor inhibits cellular adenosine uptake selectively via ENT1 inhibition at concentrations of clinical relevance. However, the low-binding affinity and functional inhibition of adenosine receptors observed with ticagrelor or its metabolites indicate that they possess a negligible adenosine-like activity at clinically relevant concentrations.

Nevertheless, the risk of drug-drug interactions in patients treated simultaneously with P2Y12 receptor inhibitors is less well considered in routine clinical practice. Whereas the irreversible P2Y12 receptor inhibitors clopidogrel and prasugrel are prodrugs requiring cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes for metabolic activation, such activation is not necessary for the direct-acting reversible P2Y12 receptor inhibitor ticagrelor. Several drugs frequently used in cardiology have been shown to interact with the metabolism of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors in pharmacodynamic studies. Whereas several drug-drug interactions have been described for clopidogrel and ticagrelor, prasugrel seems to have a low potential for drug-drug interactions. The clinical implications of these interactions have raised concern. In general, concomitant administration of P2Y12 receptor antagonists and strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A/CYP2C19 should be performed with caution in patients treated with clopidogrel/ticagrelor. Under most circumstances, clinicians have the option of prescribing alternative drugs with less risk of drug-drug interactions when used concomitantly with P2Y12 receptor inhibitors.

Abstract
Nanobodies (Nbs) are small antibody fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies through recombinant gene technology. Their exceptional physicochemical properties, possibility of humanization and unique antigen recognition properties make them excellent candidates for targeted delivery of biologically active components. Several different therapeutic approaches based on the novel camelid Nbs have been developed to treat a wide range of diseases ranging from immune, bone, blood and neurological disorders; infectious diseases and cancer. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the use of camelid-derived Nbs as novel therapeutic agents against multiple diseases.

Abstract
Platelets contribute fundamentally to ischemic heart disease, and antiplatelet therapy has been critical to reducing acute thrombotic complications of atherosclerotic disease. Thrombin, by acting on protease activated receptors (PAR), is one of the most potent platelet activators. PAR-1 antagonists may therefore provide more comprehensive antithrombotic effects. We review the pathophysiology of atherothrombosis, platelet activation by thrombin, the role of platelet protease activated receptors (PAR), and the clinical data supporting their use.
