The oxylipin analog CS585 prevents platelet activation and thrombosis through activation of the prostacyclin receptor.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Platelet activation is critical for maintaining hemostasis and preventing the leakage of blood cells from the vessel. There has been a paucity in the development of new drugs to target platelet reactivity. Recently, the oxylipin 12(S)-hydroxy-eicosatrienoic acid (12-HETrE), which is produced in platelets, was shown to limit platelet reactivity by activating the prostacyclin receptor. Here, we demonstrated the synthesis of a novel analog of 12-HETrE, known as CS585. Human blood and mouse models of hemostasis and thrombosis were assessed for the ability of CS585 to attenuate platelet activation and thrombosis without increasing the risk of bleeding. Human platelet activation was assessed using aggregometry,
