9-(4'-dimethylaminophenyl)-2,6,7-trihydroxy-xanthene-3-one is a potentially novel antiplatelet drug which antagonizes the effect of thromboxane A2
Background: Currently, used oral antiplatelet drugs are both limited and associated with the risk of treatment failure/resistance. Research in this area is hence highly desired. A series of xanthene-3-ones derivatives, we had synthesized, showed us that these derivatives had antiplatelet activity. As far as we know, no research on the effects of xanthen-3-ones in this area has been done.
